The sharpest knife isn't the moment it cuts flesh, but the slight greed that refuses to let go when one tastes sweetness.

Three years ago, I used 2000U to test the waters of contracts.

With a rebound in ETH, my account jumped to 8000 U.

That night, I stared at the K-line until four in the morning, the red and green candles bursting like fireworks, my finger hovering over the close button—I always felt it could go up another 5%.

The next day, the market opened with a sharp drop, and in a heated moment, I bought in heavily, only to find my account at 2800U three hours later. The fireworks turned to ash in just one night.

Climbing back from 2800U, I relied not on magical trades, but on controlling my emotions.

Now, before placing an order, I set three iron rules: the first position is always ≤15%; stop-loss is written in red ink at the corner of the screen; when profits reach 30%, withdraw half immediately into a cold wallet.

Last month, when BTC broke 120,000, some shared their profit screenshots, but I didn't even click on them.

In 2021, I saw too many people who got carried away after winning three trades, only to lose everything on the fourth, their avatars turning gray from then on.

I only do "one wave a week."

Every Monday night, I write a script: select two mainstream coins, draw support and resistance as walls, set the stop-loss at 3% of total capital, even writing down "if emotions rise, immediately shut down and go for a run."

From Tuesday to Friday, I treat myself like a robot; on weekends, I review without looking at profits and losses, only scoring my discipline: 20 points off for not following the plan, 50 points off for hesitating on a stop-loss for 3 seconds.

After a year, my profit curve looks like climbing stairs—not high, but never looking back. When SOL surged 20% in a day, I followed the script and ran at 8%, and my students scolded me for being timid.

Three days later, SOL fell back to its original state; it hung at the peak, while I supplemented that profit with BTC spot.

If you also want to slow down the pace, first put these four sentences in the most visible place on your screen:

1. Doubling relies on the market, maintaining profits relies on willpower.

2. Stop-loss is the ticket; those who sneak in will never reach the finish line.

3. The first position is light as paper, while profits are heavy as an anchor; don't reverse the order.

4. Acting without a well-written plan is like crossing the street with your eyes closed; opening a position with emotions is like sending money to the market.

Now, every time I click buy, I take three deep breaths, confirming my finger isn’t shaking and my heart isn't racing.

Those who shout "get rich quick" mostly die in the "just one more wait"; whereas those of us who climb slowly will one day look back and find our accounts have long surpassed that mountain.
