#数字货币市场洞察 Let me share something that might not sound very flattering: In my first couple of years in the industry, I was often jolted awake at midnight by market movements. Every time my phone vibrated, my heartbeat would sync with the candlestick charts. Back then, I constantly doubted whether I was cut out for trading at all.



Looking back now, all that pain was actually worth it. The reason I’m able to maintain stable profits today isn’t because of insider info or some extraordinary talent—it’s just a set of methods that sound clumsy but actually work.

To put it bluntly: in this market, there are countless cases of smart people blowing up, while it’s often the "dull" ones who rigidly stick to their rules that survive to the end.

The most important mindset shift: surviving is far more important than making quick money.

I used to go all in, hold losing trades against the trend, and while I’d occasionally make a killing, more often I’d be close to getting wiped out. After enough harsh lessons from the market, I forced myself to build a set of mechanical rules:

Assume a principal of $100,000. Each trial trade only uses $10,000, with a total position cap at 20%. Stop-loss and take-profit points are set in advance—if a loss hits 3%, exit immediately; if a profit hits 5%, lock in part of the gains.

This approach is so clumsy it’s almost laughable, but it actually keeps your account alive.

I’ve seen too many people get ruined by their emotions: averaging down when prices drop, refusing to accept losses, being reluctant to take profits... I’ve tried every one of these, so I know very well: most painful experiences come from that one thought, "Let’s just wait and see."

Here’s a real comparison:

Both start with $100,000, but two traders take completely different paths.

Trader A goes all in and even adds leverage, keeps averaging down when the price falls, and eventually loses control and gets liquidated.

Trader B only puts $20,000 into a base position, strictly follows stop-loss and take-profit rules, and only goes for two or three highly probable trades each week. After a month, they make a steady 8% profit, which compounds into a considerable annual return.

The difference isn’t about technical skills—it’s about rhythm, rule execution, and mindset management.

I don’t tell get-rich-quick stories anymore. I only share how to survive longer and actually cash out those gains. I’ve seen too many people gamble with their living expenses and end up not even having money for food next month—that’s not trading, that’s betting your life.

Remember this: in this market, the ones who survive the longest are usually the ones who make the most.

What this guy said is true. I’ve also experienced those days of waking up in the middle of the night... Looking back now, I was really stupid back then.

This is the truth, unlike some people who brag about doubling their money in a single week every day.

Oh, finally someone has spoken this harsh truth out loud. I used to be the type A person, and I'm still slowly changing, but I still can't control my mindset.

To be honest, this is what I want to hear. Not some story about making a million a month, just living honestly.

Here we go again with this routine—just sticking to the rules will make you money. Why don't they ever talk about the painful lessons learned before?

Oh my, this is real experience. I was that person A before, the kind who gets liquidated immediately.

That part about being woken up by the market in the middle of the night really hit home. Does it still happen now?

Honestly, I’ve also experienced those terrifying nights. Thinking back now, it still makes me a bit scared.

That part about being woken up by the market in the middle of the night really hit home. I've been through that too. Now I just check at scheduled times—sleep is valuable.
