During those days playing $PIPPIN contracts, I truly understood the saying “from heaven to hell overnight.”

When I first entered the space, I had 8,000U in my pocket and thought I had mastered candlestick charts. Without hesitation, I went all in with 100x leverage. When the market fluctuated just a few points, my account was halved in less than fifteen minutes. The moment the liquidation notice popped up, I finally got it—

This tuition fee—no beginner can escape it.

Since then, my attitude towards the market has completely changed.

I no longer chase get-rich-quick dreams, nor do I let fear and greed dictate my trades. Those who have truly taken a hit in this game understand: surviving is ten thousand times more important than making quick money.

The longer you stay, the clearer this truth becomes:

Top players never rely on trading frequency—they know how to wait.

I’ve seen too many people get cocky after a single win, thinking they’re chosen by fate, then start doubting life after two losses, watching the charts 24/7 without sleep. Their emotions swing like a pendulum, moving with every tick of the market.

When I caught that $SOL trend, it wasn’t luck—it was rhythm and discipline.

While others obsessed over every little move on the minute chart, I only watched the structure:

BOLL channel narrowing = energy is building up

Breakout with volume = market is about to take off

I built my position near the lower band in batches, with stop loss strictly set at previous lows. In three weeks, I made thirty times my money—not by guessing up or down, but by mechanically following my plan.

Over the years, I’ve engraved three iron rules in my mind—

① Maximum loss per trade capped at 2%

② Maximum of two trades per day

③ Lock in cost immediately when floating profit exceeds 50%

Sound rigid and conservative? But it’s this “rigidity” that pulled me back from the edge time and again.

To be honest:

This market has never lacked reckless risk-takers; what it lacks is smart people who can survive to the end.

If you’re still chasing pumps and dumps, letting your emotions lead you by the nose, pause for a moment. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to double your money, but first—you have to learn not to get liquidated.

The abyss is always there with its mouth wide open.

I’ve already lit up the signposts—whether you get out or not, that’s up to you.
