How did I do it? From the edge of the rooftop to 500 times the return!

1. The Awakening of a Gambler: A Cognitive Overhaul After Three Liquidations #我的交易风格

When I entered the market at the end of the 2017 bull market, I held the fantasy of 'All in Bitcoin for financial freedom.' The first time I chased BTC at $19,800, when the liquidation text message came at three in the morning and I saw only $37 left in my account, I realized that the K-line's fluctuations were not just numbers, but the greed and fear of human nature.

During the bearish market in 2018, I gambled my last 5,000 yuan on EOS, firmly believing that 'BM God' could reverse the trend. When the price dropped from $14 to $2, I finished half a pack of cigarettes on the exchange rooftop - later I learned that this crash drove 85% of retail investors away from the market forever.

2. The Double Life of a Professional Trader

On the day of the 312 crash in 2020, I was stunned to see my USDT suddenly double: my short position on ETH unexpectedly made a fortune in extreme conditions. From that day on, my trading profits first exceeded a programmer's annual salary, and I quit my job to become a professional trader.

The price of freedom is loneliness: at four in the morning, when watching the market, only the K-line chart accompanies me; during the bull market frenzy, no one understands why I liquidate to hedge risks. Once, when BTC dropped from 60,000 to 30,000, I was ridiculed as a 'missed opportunity dog' when I warned about risks in the community, until three months later, those who mocked me never returned online.

3. The Truth of No Longer Being a 'Beacon'

Before May 19, 2021, I posted three warnings in my friend circle: 'Beware of contract leverage.' At two in the morning, my cousin called me crying after using a mortgage to leverage 100 times and getting liquidated, saying, 'Brother, I was wrong.' From that day on, I deleted all trading groups - the essence of the cryptocurrency world is a zero-sum game; your 'good-hearted reminder' could become someone else's death knell.

I've seen too many surreal scenes: the big shot with the club's young models ended up delivering food six months later, the 'teacher' in the trading group ran away with the funds, and even some retail investors sold their matrimonial homes to make up for margin calls. Behind the transfer of wealth is always the brutal realization of cognitive differences.

Now my trading journal has written ironclad rules:

Always keep 30% of funds in stablecoins, even in a bull market

Single asset position shall not exceed 20%, using 'track diversification + market cap diversification' to hedge risks

Only trade in markets I understand, #GENIUS稳定币法案 #BTC #ETH
