The first time I got liquidated, my account went from 8,000 USDT to 0,
I sat motionless in front of the screen, my mind was blank.
It wasn’t that I couldn’t part with the money,
It was at that moment I understood:
I really didn't understand 'trading' at all.
I thought I had grasped the trend,
I thought I was opening a 'safe position',
I thought I could turn my fortunes around with one contract...
But I didn’t set a stop loss,
I was too heavily invested,
As the market slightly shook, I was wiped out.
Only after the liquidation did I understand:
When making money, you think you're a genius,
When losing money, you realize what 'human nature' is.
Contracts are not a tool for making money, they are an amplifier of emotions.
I started to analyze:
Why couldn't I manage my position?
Why was I too lazy to even set a stop loss?
Why did I still dive in despite knowing it was impulsive?
The answer is actually just one word: greed.
That night, I turned off my computer, deleted the crypto group,
And remained silent for two full days.
But I didn’t quit the market because I knew:
If you can rise from liquidation,
That is not the end, but the true starting point of learning to trade.
