#大户持仓动态 From despair at 37.26U to a seven-figure account, a ten-year comeback journey



I still remember the terrifying moment in the early morning of winter 2017, when the numbers on the screen were jumping. My fingers trembling, my credit account crashed from six figures to 37.26U in three minutes, my heart almost stopping.

Having just entered the contract market, I was severely taught a lesson by the market. That sense of darkness was more profound than any words.

But to survive is to win. Over the past ten years, I have relied on this belief to reach a seven-figure sum. Contracts are never a gambling table; they are a life-and-death arena—you must understand this essential truth.

Later, I summarized a few ironclad rules:

Single-loss trades must be strictly limited to within 1% of total funds. Sounds conservative? During the May 19, 2021 crash, traders around me kept getting liquidated and wiped out, but I managed to withstand a maximum drawdown of 12%. Staying conservative and alive is always better than crashing.

Once the stop-loss level is set, it’s an ironclad rule and cannot be moved. If you’re wrong, admit defeat. Giving up is a thousand times better than stubbornly holding on; eventually, the market will devour all greedy traders.

I usually run leverage between 3 to 5 times, and at most, 10 times if I’m feeling aggressive. Anything beyond 10x, normal fluctuations can wipe you out instantly. At that point, trading is not about trends; it’s about nothingness.

In the end, the market leaves behind those who know how to exercise restraint. Not blowing up your account, not going all-in—surviving is the real win. The numbers in your account will tell all the stories.

Surviving with 37 yuan is indeed a bull, but how many can really stick to a 1% stop loss after hearing this trap theory a thousand times?

37U That wave is really about mental preparation; only later did I realize that just being alive is already winning.

That time with 37 yuan really pushed me to the limit, but as long as I'm alive, I win. That really hits home.

According to the supply and demand curve, this set of trading aesthetics of "being alive is victory" is entirely an artistic creation of human greed... Unfortunately, most people simply can't understand it. From 37 to seven figures, this is Schrödinger's bull market — having died once, yet forever alive. Honestly, restraint is ten thousand times harder than 10x leverage, but no one is willing to listen. Even Buffett said it was good, but try telling gamblers to cut losses? Laugh out loud. Isn't this the opposite of the decentralized spirit of Web3 — in the end, those who know how to self-censor are the ones who win. To put it simply, the market is just selecting who deserves to survive; the rest are just stories. A perfect textbook of market psychology, but unfortunately, martyrs always outnumber scholars.

37.26U that moment was truly incredible. Even now, I still break out in a cold sweat when I think about it... But on the other hand, just surviving through it means you've already won more than half the battle.

I do believe in the 37.26U part, but as for the rest... just listen. Turning things around in ten years is easier said than done.
