After years in the crypto world, the number of times I've been liquidated is more than the cups of coffee I've had.
From an initial 50,000 U to zero, then slowly rising from 3,000 U, each crash felt like a slap, painful yet awakening.
At that time, I pondered every day about 'earning more': indicators filling the screen, models changing over and over, following KOL analyses—yet the more I researched, the more chaotic it became, and my account kept thinning until that final liquidation, when I finally understood: in trading, it ultimately comes down to 'subtraction'.
Subtract greed. Even when up 10%, still thinking about doubling, only to end up losing even the principal;
Subtract fear. Panicking and cutting losses after being down 10 points, only to see a rebound right after;
Subtract distractions. Stop looking at others flaunting their wealth, ignore how aggressively others call trades,
That’s not your rhythm.
I remember a brother who turned 8,000 U into 100,000 in half a year, not through frequent trading, but by 'doing less'.
He only trades familiar markets, only follows logic he understands, never regrets missing out on a market.
I asked him for his secret, he said: 'Trades that can be skipped are lives saved.'
Later, I also began to 'subtract':
Delete useless indicators, simplify strategies, stop predicting markets, and don’t compete with the market.
Only focus on key intervals, only take certain opportunities, and only seek steady profits.
My account no longer experiences wild fluctuations, but the curve is as steady as a breathing line.
Some laugh at me for being 'unpassionate',
But I understand in my heart: in the crypto world, it’s not about who runs the fastest, but who lasts the longest.
Now I’ve emerged, how about you?
Ask yourself, do you want to willingly be a vegetable for life, or do you want to be the one who laughs last as the winner?
