At 31 years old, looking back, I started in 2014. Back then, the little capital I had was borrowed—60,000 yuan—completely lacking confidence.


Now my account has surpassed eight figures, and honestly, my feelings are quite complicated.
My gains weren’t fast, nor did I rely on luck. I climbed out step by step, reflecting on each pitfall.
I’ve been trading for a long time—ranging from long-term to short-term, from ultra-short to intraday swings. I’ve tried all kinds of styles.
Now, you say I understand technical analysis? I’m not a top expert, but I can truly say—my understanding of losing money is deeper than most people’s.
Over these ten years, I’ve seen too many people rise high and then fall. Turning tens of thousands into millions, only to be wiped out in a bear market.
Do you think they’re bad at technical skills?
No, they’re just used to holding positions through thick and thin. When luck runs out and their bullets are gone, one big pullback can wipe out their entire account.
Some people make money 100 times and hold through it all, but as soon as they can’t hold one time, it’s not just losing a little money—it’s going to zero.
There’s another issue I’ve grown tired of: too many people get “anxious” after losing money.
They get emotional and want to recover immediately, but their operations become chaotic, and in the end, they lose everything cleanly.
I’m not a saint; I also have my moments of losing control. But I know one thing clearly: you must admit that the market won’t listen to you.
Don’t think that “I feel it’s going to rise” means it will rise, or that “I judge this is a trap” means it’s definitely a trap. If you’re wrong, you should walk away, not stubbornly hold on.
Trading crypto, at its core, is about whether you can endure. Can you admit when you’re wrong sometimes? Can you follow your rules?
To be blunt, it’s not that you don’t understand how to place trades; it’s that you don’t want to lose, you don’t want to admit mistakes, and you’re still greedy.
Stop claiming you have “faith,” or that “holding on will come back”—that’s not faith, that’s the self-deception of a gambler.
Now that I’ve accumulated over ten million in assets, there’s nothing to boast about. I’ve simply perfected a few basic rules: admit when you’re wrong, set stop-losses when opening positions, make decisions calmly, and when emotional, just turn off the computer.
You think making money depends on skill? The real truth is: every time you don’t follow the rules, you’re digging your own grave.
The market is still here, and there are plenty of opportunities.
