This month, the account went from 9000U to 140,000U. To be honest, there were no advanced operations; I just finally settled down. No more random messing around, just focusing on doing it properly.

Last month, I just got liquidated, two positions blew up, losing almost 50,000 U. I was completely stunned. When I came to my senses, there were only 9,000 U left in my account, and I didn't dare to open any larger positions. I could only start over and take it slow. I spent two days reviewing my trades, digging out the pitfalls from before, and finally came to a conclusion: no gambling, no hard steel.

The first wave is a long position on ETH. The entry wasn't perfect, but the position was spot on. With 3x leverage, while others hesitated, I went in and made a small profit, regaining some confidence.

The short position on BNB is the real harvest. That wave of market was indeed smooth, shorting all the way without adding positions, directly reaching 24000U. At that moment, I realized - it seems like it can really be done steadily.

Then there was the false signal for BTC that day. The signal was too obvious, I was watching it in advance, and I entered short positions in batches, hitting 30,000U.

After a few trades, I understood one thing: it’s not that the market has become easier, but that I no longer act recklessly.

I have now gotten used to waiting with an empty position. I have gotten used to missing out on some seemingly good opportunities. I no longer treat every trade as a lifesaving opportunity; I just see it as a part of the entire system. Each order strictly controls the position, using 10% of the total capital. Stop-loss and take-profit are written in advance, and once the order is opened, I do not interfere, letting the system execute itself.

Doubling is the result of good trading, not the goal of trading itself.

Looking back at the principal of 9000U, it's actually not a small amount at all. Whether you can turn things around depends not on how much starting capital you have, but on whether you can truly learn from the lessons of liquidation.

There's no secret to share. It's just that if someone asks, speak these truths. A piece of advice: don't go all in before you understand, and don't use contracts to give away money.

ETH0.73%

BNB0.48%

BTC-0.24%

In other words, being taught a lesson has made you honest, and that's the most valuable lesson of all. --- Not going all-in is truly a realization; many people fail to understand the true meaning of this sentence. --- Turning 9,000 into 140,000 is all about stopping suicidal trades—simple and straightforward to the point of being boring. --- This is the real talk, much more reliable than those who boast about complex strategies. --- Getting liquidated is actually a turning point; only through pain do you realize what it means to trade while alive. --- Set your stop-loss and take-profit levels and leave them be. It sounds easy, but you have to go through a near-death experience to truly understand. --- The key words are two: stay alive, stay steady. They are more valuable than any technical indicator.

This is the true enlightenment, it's not about making money, but about living. --- The moment of liquidation probably felt like death; returning alive is the real skill. --- 10% position size is a brilliant move, but it just sounds too boring. --- Turning 9000U into 140,000, honestly, is finally admitting you're not good enough. --- Waiting in a vacant position—this feeling isn't something everyone can get used to. --- The wave of trap trading was indeed clear, but unfortunately, most people were already caught when they saw it. --- The phrase "don't go all-in" can only truly be understood after a liquidation. --- System execution is more reliable than manual operation, everyone knows that, but no one can actually do it. --- From 9000 to 140,000, what made the difference wasn't luck, but the realization gained from those two days of review.

Really, this is the right path... When I wasn't doubling the position size, I was thinking about getting rich overnight every day, but instead, I kept losing more. Now, I'm more stable.

Indeed, getting liquidated wakes people up more than anything else. Don't gamble or go all in, this phrase needs to be engraved in your mind.
