Chapter One: The 'broken jar' of 120U
On the night after the account was liquidated and only 120U was left, I smiled at the screen—not out of relief, but self-mockery. People around me mocked: 'Is this little money enough to pay the electricity bill?' But I actually breathed a sigh of relief. Anyway, I've lost completely, so I might as well treat this little money as 'game currency' to practice without being too serious.
I set four iron rules, simple like a primary school student’s code of conduct:
Only play BTC: The market is big, there are fewer unexpected events, and small funds can't stir up waves;
Leverage ≤ 20 times: Tried 100 times, my hands trembled at a 0.5% fluctuation, and my mindset collapsed directly;
Half position operation: Each time opening a position not exceeding 60U, leaving half to guard against spikes;
Two trades a day, win or lose, wrap up: take profit at 10%, stop loss at 5%, avoid staying up late to watch the market.
On the first day, the first trade made 6U, the second trade broke even. A friend laughed at me: 'Is 6U enough to buy a cup of milk tea?' I replied: 'But my mindset is worth 600,000.'
Chapter Two: The snowball starts rolling from 320U
When the principal reaches 320U, the rules remain unchanged, but execution becomes more serious:
After making a profit, continue to roll the snowball with new principal, do not withdraw profits;
Once the stop loss is triggered, immediately return to open a position at 60U, never 'add to the position'.
Once BTC had a spike at midnight, I stopped loss in seconds, without hesitation. Returned to 60U to restart, like continuing a game with tokens - if you can afford to lose, you can play longer.
Chapter Three: Waiting for half a month, a sword to the throat
Wait for a big market trend, like a hunter waiting. After half a month, when BTC pulls back to MA60 and the volume increases, I make an exception to raise my position to 70% (224U), tighten the stop loss to 3%, and set the take profit at 30%. This trade made 67U, my friend said my 'gambling nature hasn't changed', but I know clearly: this is a planned risk.
The trends I caught later all relied on the same logic - patiently waiting for the fish belly, not the fish tail.
Chapter Four: The 'anti-human' insights behind a million
Leverage is a tool, not a magic wand
100 times leverage is like walking on a tightrope, 20 times is like climbing stairs. Slow, but you won't fall to your death.
Stop loss is self-rescue, not giving up
Those who have exploded their positions understand: cutting losses hurts, but going to zero hurts even more.
The trading plan is your amulet
Write down the conditions clearly before opening a position to avoid being led by FOMO.
Lastly, I want to say
The most ironic thing in the crypto world is: the more you want to go fast, the slower it gets; the more you can 'endure', the faster it goes.
From 120U to 1 million, what I rely on is not divine operation, but the discipline of 'fear of death' - afraid of losing everything, so I am cautious; afraid of missing out, so I am patient.
As the old trader said: 'In a bull market, there are many sharp declines; in a bear market, there are many rebounds', but those who survive to the next round are always the ones who have rules locked in their minds.
