From a liquidation of 400,000 U, only 7,000 U remained in the account— that feeling is not despair, it's a complete awakening.
I locked myself away for two days, reviewing all my past operations, and finally admitted: it wasn't the market that harmed me, it was myself who was constantly 'self-sabotaging'.
With the remaining 7,000 U, I treated it as my last tuition, starting anew with the rules:
First trade, go long on ETH. I only opened a 3x leverage, and although the entry point wasn't perfect, I got the direction right. I no longer pursued an all-or-nothing approach; regaining a bit of confidence was enough.
Second trade, go short on BNB. As the market started to flood, I didn't recklessly increase my position this time; I let the profits run on their own. This floating profit peaked at 24,000 U, and I suddenly understood: following the right trend is much more important than obsessively trying to force results.
Third trade, go short on BTC. While the market was overwhelmingly bullish, I built short positions in batches. It wasn't that I was particularly skilled; it was just that the signals told me to think in the opposite direction. This trade ultimately made a profit of 30,000 U, and at that moment, I was certain: making stable profits relies on discipline, not inspiration.
I no longer pursued 'flipping my capital', but treated every trade as a process:
Single position not exceeding 10%
Set stop-loss and take-profit in advance, no manual intervention after placing orders
Dare to be in cash, dare to miss opportunities
From 7,000 U to 600,000 U, the biggest change in this process was learning to 'not self-sabotage'. The market never targets anyone; it is always there.
What we can control is only our positions and emotions. If you've ever felt lost after a liquidation, remember: the real turning point often starts when you're willing to honestly follow the rules.
