In the blink of an eye, four years of savings turned to nothing.
At three in the morning, Bitcoin suddenly plummeted by 17%. I stared at the glaring red numbers on my phone screen, feeling as if I had been drained of everything. 1,620,000 accounts were liquidated in this storm, and mine was just one of them.
My finger hovered over the 'cut loss' button all night, yet I couldn't bring myself to press it. Just the day before, I was calculating how much I could earn; now I had become a 'negative asset'. The psychological gap from expectation to panic, from confidence to collapse, is more painful than the loss itself.
But I did not give up. I still had 4800U in hand, and I decided to split it into six portions, each worth 800U. This is not to recover losses, but to survive.
Spark Plan: The lifeline of six funds
First document: Initial position test
I chose a project that was mistakenly killed, only investing 400U as the initial position. I set the stop-loss at 8 dollars; if the price drops, it will sell automatically.
Second document: Stop-loss for capital preservation
When prices rise, I raise the stop-loss level to near the cost price. This way, even if the market reverses, I can protect my capital.
Third document: Profit distribution
After each profit, I transfer 30% of the profits to a cold wallet. This is not just profit, but also reserves that can no longer be easily accessed.
Fourth document: Emotional management
I set daily trading hours to avoid over-monitoring the market. Whenever I feel the urge to trade impulsively, I step away from the screen and take a deep breath.
Fifth document: Tool assistance
Use the fear and greed index; when market emotions are extreme, remind yourself to stay calm. This is not fortune-telling, but a tool to avoid collective panic.
Sixth document: Discipline execution
Before each trade, set clear entry price, stop-loss price, and target price. Do not change plans casually due to short-term fluctuations.
Four months later: Sparks spreading
This is not a miracle, but the discipline formed through every late-night review, every time I resisted impulse, and every bit of 'unwillingness'.
The market is always testing human nature, not technology. When social media is filled with panic voices saying 'the bull market is over', I choose to stay away from the noise and focus on my own plan.
Successful investing is not about predicting the market, but about surviving through rules. I no longer pursue 'getting rich overnight', but adhere to the short-term goal of 'not losing capital'.
Words from the first sister
If you are also feeling lost, afraid of repeating past mistakes, I want to tell you:
First, accept failure, but do not define yourself as a failure. Losses are part of the market, but should not be part of your identity.
Second, replace emotions with rules. Set clear stop-loss points, just like fastening a seatbelt for your trades. This is not restriction, but protection.
Third, there are no shortcuts in the market, only discipline. I won’t show you miracles; I will guide you steadily along your own profitable path.
Now, I still face the ups and downs of the market, but I am no longer swayed by emotions. True growth is not celebrating profits but still being able to make calm decisions after losses.
What doesn’t kill you will ultimately make you stronger— as long as you still have even a spark of 'fire' and the courage to persist.
