Contract losses, scam projects, yet still worked hard for several thousand.
When I first entered the circle in 2018, I was only 36 years old, promoting games in Changsha, with a monthly salary of less than 5K, and saved up 20K in a year to enter the market.
The first trade was on XRP, where I made three times my investment. At that time, I thought I had 'enlightened' myself. However, on my second all-in on a certain scam project, I was directly cut in half, and I was in a daze for three months.
Over these years, I transitioned from long-term trading to short-term trading, from relying on fundamentals to purely looking at K-lines, changing my style several times. Looking back, it was actually just a continuous process of trial and error, constantly reviewing, until achieving stability.
Now my account has reached seven figures. To be honest, it’s not based on insider information or clinging to powerful connections, but on three simple survival rules:
First: If you make a mistake, run; it's not embarrassing to run fast.
In the past, I used to hold on stubbornly, always thinking 'it will come back.' Later I understood that the market doesn’t care if you are long or short, nor will it listen to your 'faith'. If you're wrong, you must cut losses, without emotions, only rules.
Second: Don’t trade based on emotions; when you feel overwhelmed, turn off the computer.
The biggest loss I suffered was after consecutively losing three trades and trying to recover, which resulted in a margin call. After that incident, I set a rule: if I make two consecutive mistakes, I take a forced break, turn off the computer, and lock my phone, not giving myself the opportunity to act irrationally.
Third: The market values discipline, not how smart you are.
I know several friends who are technically very strong, yet they all ended up at zero. It’s not that they can’t analyze, but they lack rules. When luck is on your side, anything can make money, but when the wind shifts, the first to fall are those without risk control.
Now, the thing I do most skillfully is: repeat the simple tasks well, without adding drama or performing.
Some say I’ve become a monk; in fact, I’ve just engraved the words 'stay steady' into my trading system.
In this circle, if you want to win, it’s not about making 100 times on one trade, but about not flipping over in 100 trades.
The cryptocurrency world is not lacking in opportunities; what’s lacking is your ability to survive.
