#数字资产市场洞察 still remembers the feeling of that night. There was quite a bit of principal lying in the account, and in just one operation, hundreds of thousands were gone.



It's not a slow pullback, but rather a "strange calmness" where there's simply no time to react, and everything just ends.

I stared blankly at the K-line chart for a long time. There was no hysteria, no smashing of the keyboard, just a heart-wrenching sense of clarity.

At that moment, I truly admitted what it meant to be too clever for my own good.

The version of me before was ridiculously confident. I had seen quite a few technical indicators and studied market structure, and I would talk confidently in trading communities, always full of confidence before placing an order. After making a few profits, I became arrogant, feeling like I had already "understood the way"; when I lost, I would make excuses for myself, saying "I'll correct it next time" and that would be the end of it.

The positions are getting heavier, but the trading discipline is becoming more and more lax. The mindset is starting to become restless, always thinking "as long as my thinking is clear and my operations are fast enough, the market has to obey me."

The result market taught me a lesson in the simplest way:

It's not about whose brain works faster in this place, it's about who can resist the urge to self-destruct.

After that, I hardly touched my account for a long time. I spent the whole day reviewing that liquidation, repeatedly asking myself why.

In the end, I finally understood: what knocked me down was not a single misjudgment, but three long-standing bad habits accumulated over the years —

Overconfidence, ignoring risks, throwing away rules.

Since then, I have redefined my trading logic.

Stop asking "How much can I earn from this trade?" Instead, think first "If it goes against me, can I handle it?"

No longer flaunting analytical skills everywhere, tightly holding on to the operational framework I have established without letting go;

No longer being led by FOMO and fear, instead I've learned to "stay out when I don't understand."

The recovery speed of the account number is very slow, but the mental state has instead stabilized for the first time.

This is the truth, too many people fall because of confidence. I used to be the same, with Technical Analysis all figured out, only to be brutally awakened by the market. If you don't understand, just take a Short Position; this phrase is amazing, it's more useful than anything else.

This is the truth, that feeling of disappearing in an instant... I have experienced it too, and I just couldn't react at all.

Indeed, a single Get Liquidated can teach you lessons for a lifetime. I am the kind of person who only wakes up after being beaten by the market; now what I fear the most is not losing money, but that I will start to drift again.

This is a lesson learned the hard way. The feeling of hundreds of thousands disappearing in an instant... Really, no one can understand.

In that moment when hundreds of thousands were gone, I understood that strange calmness... really, it was much worse than smashing the keyboard.

Hundreds of thousands are gone, so it really needs some serious reflection. But then again, everyone has to pay this tuition fee for such lessons; it just depends on whether they can walk out alive.

Hundreds of thousands disappeared in an instant. It's really that kind of eerily calm feeling. I understand the feeling of staring blankly at the Candlestick.
