At three o'clock in the morning, Bitcoin suddenly plummeted by 17%. Looking at the red numbers on the screen, I knew it was another round of reshuffling. According to statistics, 1.62 million accounts got liquidated during that big dump, and I happened to be one of them. Four years of savings significantly shrank in this rapid fall, leaving me feeling completely drained.



At that moment, my finger really hesitated over the "cut loss" button all night. Just the day before, I was calculating how much I could earn, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a loss. That psychological gap—from expectation to panic, from confidence to collapse—is more heartbreaking than the actual paper loss.

But if you choose to invest and trade, you must learn to endure. I still have 4800U left, and I've decided to change my mindset: instead of seeking to recover overnight, let's focus on surviving first. I will divide this 4800U into six parts, with each part being 800U to execute. I call this plan the "Fire Seed Plan."

**First Phase: Initial Position Testing**
Choose a project that has been wrongly punished by the market and invest 400U to test the waters. Set the stop-loss price at 8 dollars, and it will automatically sell when the price reaches that point. This way, you can participate in the rebound while limiting the extent of losses.

**Second Document: Stop-Loss Breakeven Strategy**
When the price rises, gradually raise the stop-loss position closer to the cost price. If the market reverses again, at least you can preserve the principal and avoid sliding into the abyss again.

**Third Part: Profit Locking Mechanism**
Immediately withdraw 30% into a cold wallet after each profit. This is not just about profit, but also about establishing a psychological barrier—those funds are equivalent to disappearing from the market and cannot be used for gambling.

**Fourth: Execution of Trading Discipline**
Set a strict trading time window for yourself to avoid overtrading caused by staring at the screen all day. When you feel the urge to act impulsively, step away from the screen, take a deep breath, and wait for your emotions to settle before making any decisions.

**Fifth Document: Sentiment Indicator Reference**
Introduce the Fear and Greed Index to observe market sentiment. When the index moves to extremes, it serves as a reminder — this moment may be a phase of collective panic or frenzy, and one should remain restrained rather than follow the crowd.

**Sixth: Strengthening Discipline Supervision**
Record the basis and results of every trading decision, and review them regularly. It is not to predict the future, but to gain clarity on your trading habits and gradually refine your execution.

After experiencing this round of fall, I have come to understand a principle: the market's volatility is inevitable, but how to survive through the fluctuations and manage every bit of capital well is the core of surviving in the cryptocurrency market for the long term. Six portions of capital, six dimensions, which seems complicated, is actually about diversifying risk, managing one's mindset, and executing discipline effectively.

There are really a lot of people getting liquidated at three in the morning, but this "Spark Plan" sounds a bit too idealistic; in reality, there aren't that many people with such determination.

I was also there during that wave at 3 AM. Watching over 1.6 million Get Liquidated is painful. To be honest, this "Fire Seed Plan" sounds nice, but when it comes to execution? Managing the mindset is the hardest part. Setting the stop loss firmly, but regretting it as soon as there’s a Rebound, it’s like a curse. Dividing 4800U into six parts feels a bit like comforting myself. But surviving is definitely more important than doubling. That suggestion to step away from the screen and take a deep breath has really saved me several times. The longer you stare at the market, the easier it is to break down.

Four years of savings gone in one night, how tough must that mindset be. Getting liquidated but still able to systematically dissect risk control, truly someone who has suffered losses. Talking about stop loss is easy, but execution is hell. The article has quite a few valuable insights, but the name "Fire Seed Project" feels a bit suspicious. That said, diversifying capital is indeed much more reliable than going all in. The feeling of looking at the drop at three in the morning, those who understand know. If you haven't learned to control your emotions after this wave, then it really is a wasted loss.
