From 120,000 USD down to just 12,000 USD,

That night, I finally understood:
I'm not trading, I'm giving away money.
During that period, I was like a madman every day,
Opening a dozen or twenty trades, rushing at every fluctuation,
No stop-loss set, constantly increasing positions,
When the market reversed, I didn't even have a chance to breathe.
The fees could buy a motorcycle, and my mindset shattered instantly.
I even stubbornly said: This is due to poor technique, not mindset issues.
But later, when I reviewed, I realized—
That’s not a technical problem at all, it’s purely impulsiveness.
Honestly, nine out of ten people in the Moments are making the same mistake:
Not afraid of losing, just afraid of being idle.
Seeing others make money makes you itchy, seeing your floating loss makes you anxious,
When the candlestick wobbles, you can’t help but open the trading page,
Resulting in either being harvested by the market or slaughtered by yourself.
Later, I forced myself to make three changes,
Which were key to slowly rolling my account back from 12,000 USD to 60,000 USD.
First, quit impulsiveness, only take “sure-win” trades.
Previously, I’d get dizzy looking at 1-minute candlesticks,
Now I only look at 4-hour and daily charts.
Getting three trades a week is already good,
Until I understand the market movement, I prefer to stay out of the market.
Remember: When your hands are still, your money won’t run wild.
Second, win big, cut losses fast.
Third, only trade BTC, ETH, and DOGE.
Never risk more than 10% on the first position,
Profit first, then add; cut immediately if losing.
Once I gain 20%, I lock in half of the profit,
Let the rest run with the trend, no fantasies, no stubborn fights.
“Take profit, stop-loss” is not just a slogan, it’s a life protector.
Third, discipline is more important than finding signals.
If your emotions are off, log out immediately.
After two consecutive stop-losses, take a break right away.
Review your trades before bed every day, not to show off,
But to force yourself to face—
Did I get the market right, or did I just stumble upon a dead cat?
If you want to turn things around, it’s not about higher leverage,
But about a colder heart.
The marketplace never lacks opportunities,
What’s missing is someone who can withstand temptation and hold their positions.
If your account is bleeding right now,
Don’t rush to find the “next trade to double,”
First look in the mirror and ask yourself:
Are you trading, or are you gambling with your life?
Stay calm, and the market will eventually reward you.
Don’t think about getting rich overnight,
Learn to survive first.
If you can do this, you’ve already beaten 90% of people.
