Looking back at over a decade in the Crypto Assets trading circle, I feel a lot of emotions. At first, I borrowed 60k to get on board, so nervous that my hands were shaking. Back then, the housing price was only a few thousand per square meter, and this amount was enough to cover the down payment. Now, my account has surpassed eight digits, and my feelings are both excited and complicated.

This is by no means just luck, but rather the result of stumbling along the way, continuously reflecting and persisting. I have tried various trading styles, from long-term trading to short-term operations, from daily charts to minute charts. Although I may only be at an intermediate level technically, my understanding of losses may be deeper than that of most people.

Over the years, I have witnessed too many stories of people going from wealth to bankruptcy. Some started with tens of thousands and reached tens of millions, only to lose everything during a bear market. The problem is not technical, but rather psychological resilience. When one gets used to high returns, it is easy to be completely wiped out during a wave of corrections once luck runs out and funds are exhausted.

Another common issue is that many people become impatient once they incur losses. They desperately want to break even, and after losing control of their emotions, they act blindly, often resulting in even greater losses. I have also fallen into this state, but I always remember: the market does not respond to individual wishes.

The essence of trading lies in whether you can maintain patience, acknowledge mistakes, and adhere to rules. Ultimately, many people do not lack trading knowledge, but rather cannot afford to lose, are unwilling to admit mistakes, and harbor greed.

Now my assets have exceeded 10 million, not because I am so great, but because I have done the three basic things to the extreme: stop loss when recognizing mistakes, set limits when opening positions, and stay away from trading when emotions are out of control.

You might think that making a profit relies on technology, but the most crucial factor is whether you can control yourself and avoid making mistakes. Market opportunities are always there; as long as you can be disciplined and follow the rules, even with only 10k in capital, there is a chance for a turnaround.
