As someone from the original advertising and media industry, I entered the circle on November 18, 2025, to brush up on alpha airdrops, bought spot at 106,000, and then sold at 116,000 in a muddled way (at that time I had no understanding and didn't realize that 126,000 was actually the peak of this bull market).
Just like Pandora's box, I tried the contract independently again. Fortunately, my math is not bad, and I've played a lot of Texas Hold'em, so I have a strong awareness of risk management and position management, including trading frequency (the entry rate in Texas Hold'em).
At first, I only opened full positions at 2x, then made some small profits, and then moved to 5x, 10x, 50x. Of course, I didn't go all in later, and I was afraid of losing a lot of money, so I set stop losses. I have never been liquidated on a contract, which is still quite lucky; I didn't encounter a black swan event when opening positions.
Now that a quarter has passed, from making a total of 15% profit to a loss of 10%, and now I've made back the loss, I won't lose money or will only have small losses or gains. I will no longer have the idea of getting rich overnight or going all in with 100 times leverage. The future goal will only be to keep studying hard and wait for certain opportunities to achieve stable profits.

Speaking of a digression, I think the so-called 'professional' means that a person has in-depth research, learning accumulation, practical experience, and has achieved results in a certain field. It does not exist that a good education, degree, or certificate can prove someone is a professional.
I have tried to enter a completely new field from the traditional advertising industry. What I feel is freshness, a desire for exploration of the unknown, the joy of understanding something from not knowing to knowing, from knowing to being able to do it, and achieving results.
I want to replicate the path to professionalism I achieved in my old field. As long as I maintain a good mindset, values, and execution, and gradually accumulate compound interest, I will one day be able to achieve so-called 'professionalism' in the crypto space.
The pitfalls that should be stepped on will definitely be stepped on, but if I realize that it is a pit and still step on it, either my understanding is lacking, or I am just being foolish!
The unity of knowledge and action is also something that can be achieved. Knowing that one should cut losses and take profits in a timely manner, knowing when to enter or exit the market, and knowing that one should remain calm and restrained during periods of market euphoria or panic!
So, many people say that the path of trading is a road of no return, but my understanding is that I think the path of trading is a path of cultivation. I can experience, feel, and comprehend many things through trading. After all, trading has always existed from ancient times to the present.
By the way, my current view on the later #BTC is DYOR: I believe the high point of this round of rebound is in the range of 7.4 to 7.6. Right now, it is a downward continuation, and I still see the 5s or even 4s in the medium to long term. If exaggerated, it could be in the 3s, where opportunities appear in the waiting.
