Remember the first time I stared at the BTC candlestick chart, my heartbeat fluctuated with the ups and downs. At that time, all I could think about was financial freedom, but I knew nothing about the dangers of the market. It wasn't until my first liquidation that I realized the crypto world was not as I had imagined.



The initial period was very awkward. The sense of helplessness was overwhelming, and I almost gave up entirely. But then I thought, since I chose this path, I have to grit my teeth and move forward. So I started studying furiously—researching various technical indicators, reviewing historical charts, and constantly summarizing gains and losses. Although this process was long and painful, it became the foundation for later success.

In my crypto career, there are two experiences that truly made me mature. The 2018 bear market, when assets shrank to despair; and May 19, 2021, when panic reached its peak. But strangely, each time the market battered me, I became more sensitive to risk. Learning to stay calm in despair, and discovering opportunities in fear—that is the true essence of trading.

When my trading profits could cover my daily expenses, I decided to go full-time. That sense of freedom was indeed exhilarating, like flying out of a cage. But the price was that every fluctuation had to be endured alone, with mental pressure so intense it was hard to describe. Gradually, loneliness became the norm.

Someone asked why I no longer share signals now. Honestly, I used to be enthusiastic about analyzing market trends in my social circle, warning about opportunities and risks. Later, I chose silence because I was afraid someone might be misled by my opinions, blindly leverage, and end up losing everything. The essence of the crypto world is a wealth game—every transfer has losers, and I don’t want to be the trigger.

After years of honing my skills, I’ve developed my own trading system. The core logic is simple: stability beats high returns. Maintaining a win rate above 70%, it may seem unremarkable, but over the long term, the account grows steadily. This feeling is like mastering a rhythm, which brings more calmness when facing market volatility.

Many people ask me what my secret is. Actually, there is no secret—just strict risk control, reverence for the market, and persistent review. Cut losses when necessary, don’t think about turning things around in one shot. Set take-profit points, and don’t let greed cloud your judgment. Mindset is more important than technical skills; this is a hard-earned lesson.

The path in crypto is indeed lonely, but also full of possibilities. As long as you are patient enough and willing to repeatedly test and learn in the market, you can find your own trading style. Don’t rush to get rich overnight, and don’t expect instant success. Always remember one thing: reverence for the market is the key to lasting survival.

The day I got liquidated for the first time, I was the same. Thinking back now, I still laugh. To be honest, what I fear most is not losing money, but not seeing myself clearly. A 70% win rate sounds simple, but sticking to it is much harder than it seems. That day on 519 was really frightening, but later I realized it was the best touchstone. I completely understand why you don't share signals; the responsibility is too heavy.

A margin call once and you'll understand, there's really no secret. --- I was also there on day 519, still dreaming about it. --- It sounds nice, but honestly, it's just about surviving. --- Only after becoming a full-time trader did I realize what true pressure is. --- A 70% win rate sounds simple, but actually doing it is really hard. --- I agree with not sharing signals to avoid trouble. --- Loneliness is indeed the default, but once the money is in place, you get used to it. --- The phrase "Respect the market" comes to mind every time I get a margin call. --- Having the right mindset is a hundred times more important than skills, there's no lie in that.
