The trading journey of 2025, the most memorable moment was that Ethereum rollercoaster.

At that time, I judged that Ethereum's moving averages had already broken down completely, but I didn't expect a rebound to be continuously driven up by a small strategy. I kept stop-lossing back and forth, and ended up losing more than 1.5 million USD. That feeling was really uncomfortable, but the only thing I could do was stay calm and resist the urge to recover immediately.

After taking a break for a while, I continued to look for opportunities. Later, I saw that Ethereum had a new breakout signal and thought about exploring opportunities within the Ethereum ecosystem. At this point, Pepe caught my eye—the moving average pattern was very tight, the trend rhythm was good, and it was an Ethereum-based Meme coin. I decided to make a large position long. As a result, I recovered 2 million USD in one go, turned losses into profits, and immediately sold to cash out.

Why dare to do this? Because at that time, my bank account balance already had a sufficient safety cushion, I had no loans on my house or car. In this state, my trading mindset was naturally stable, and I wouldn't be thrown off by one or two losses.

Some comments say that I get emotional just by opening a short position, or that frequent stop-losses mean I'm impulsive. But that's just the daily routine of a trader. When the market rises, I chase in; when I feel something's off, I immediately run. I never hold onto losing positions stubbornly—that's the beginning of losing money.

Recently, the Americans have been manipulating the market again, causing some psychological stress, but I'm used to it. As long as they keep pushing, this kind of wear and tear is within my tolerance. The key is that when BNB breaks out, I must get on board—opportunities never wait.

Over 1.5 million in losses but no mental breakdown—that's what a real trader looks like. --- Pepe's recent rebound, he's really bold. How much wealth does he need to dare do this? --- I remember the saying about holding onto losing positions stubbornly. Too many people blow up because they stubbornly hold on. --- No mortgage on the house or car, how to say it, the foundation is solid, no wonder the mentality is stable. --- What are Americans planning with their sell-offs? The breakthrough of BNB is the real focus. We need to push through when the time comes. --- Frequent stop-losses being called impulsive? That's ridiculous. Anyone who understands trading knows it's the price of survival. --- Moving averages breaking down and then rebounding—this kind of counter-trend operation is the most disgusting. Losing so much is really painful. --- Rebounded 2 million in one go. I'm still bottom-fishing here. --- The decision to clear out and cash in is crucial. So many people fall into the trap of greed. --- Seeing that Ethereum's rhythm is off, I immediately run. This reaction ability is something only the average person can't achieve.

1.5 million directly lost, yet still so steady—you're truly a wealthy brother. Pepe's counterattack with 2 million this time, feeling great, right? Honestly, you still need some capital to back you up. Poor traders are just asking for death. The moment BNB broke support, I should have jumped in too. I was always hesitant. Traders who cut losses quickly really live longer; those who hold on stubbornly are often cleared out early.

$1.5 million was lost directly, and this mindset is really true, indicating that the family background is indeed solid. Pepe's counterattack of 2 million, honestly, is still half luck. Frequent stop-losses are not called getting emotional, they are called staying alive; those who stubbornly hold on are the fools. Federal Reserve smashing the market? Get used to it; anyway, the real test is when BNB breaks down. Traders without loans truly have this sense of composure, I must admit.

A loss of 1.5 million USD stopped out, then turned around to recover 2 million, this mindset is indeed steady, haha Go all-in on Pepe to turn losses into profits and then leave, this is the way trading should be Only when you have no debt can you trade with confidence, I totally agree with this Americans dumping the market, that kind of movement I’m already used to, when BNB truly breaks through, you can't run away

The data shows that stopping loss at $1.5 million and recovering to $2 million—what kind of win rate would be needed to offset the psychological account? ... Ironically, those who actually make money are the ones without a "safety cushion" mentality, who are actually more stable. Wait, just because the moving average pattern is tight, you dare to take a large position chasing Meme coins? I need to think about this logic carefully; something feels off. Is BNB breaking out really an opportunity? Or is it just another "inevitable signal" that everyone is betting on during another bubble cycle... Where are the lessons from history?

Lost 1.5 million dollars in one go, really the ultimate mentality. Turned around and made another 2 million with Pepe. This is the joy of having capital, right? No loans, a safety cushion, no wonder I dare to play like this. Most people lack this confidence. Frequent stop-losses get criticized heavily. Honestly, holding on stubbornly is truly idiotic. Wait for that wave of BNB, don’t get crushed back again. Only this kind of trader who can afford to lose is truly more stable than retail investors. Too many false break signals. That rebound in Ethereum was really disgusting. Made 2 million with Pepe and then went all in. That’s how you know how to behave; greed is the biggest taboo. American sell-offs have become routine. Just get used to it. Owning a house and a car without debt is the real peace of mind. That’s the true prerequisite for trading. When a trade feels off, just run. That’s what a living trader does.
