If it weren't for that day of liquidation, perhaps I would still be working now
I will always remember the market that day
I successfully made 3️⃣ trades in a row, my account was up nearly 20%, my mind started to heat up, and my hands began to itch. I knew the risk management rule was 'a maximum of 2% risk per trade', but at that moment I told myself
'With the market moving so smoothly, there shouldn’t be any mistakes'
So, I started to leverage heavily and entered the market
At first, the market did indeed move in my direction, I thought I was going to double my money, and even took screenshots to post on IG and my friend circle
But you can guess the result
A major news release caused the market to suddenly reverse, I didn't set the stop loss properly, and the platform had severe slippage
Within minutes, my account went from floating profit of 20% to liquidation, wiping it all out
That night, I sat alone in front of the computer for three hours without speaking
Not out of regret, but because my mind was blank
I have lost money before, but that time I lost too completely
Not only did I lose my principal, but also my confidence, calmness, and principles
I began to wonder why, after spending more than a year learning technical analysis, I still made such a basic mistake?
The answer became clear later
I wasn’t learning 'how to be a trader',
I was only pursuing 'how to make quick money'
Experienced traders all say that trading is a practice of human nature
I used to think it was very mysterious
It wasn't until that day of liquidation that I truly understood
Trading is never about who has more skills, but about who can stabilize themselves better
From that day on, I made a few decisions
Write a trading plan before each trade, not vague, not overfitting
Accept losses, a stop loss is a stop loss, do not exhaust yourself internally
Treat trading as a profession, not as repeated emotional speculation
To be honest, I still haven’t 'become a master', but I know I am on the right path
If you are currently experiencing losses and questioning your life——
I want to tell you
Don't be afraid!!!
We have all stared blankly at losses in front of the charts,
We have all wondered if we are not suitable for this path
But sometimes, the real turning point,
Comes from a heart-wrenching liquidation
But I only do real trading, no empty promises. The team still has vacancies, for those who want to learn methods and turn things around, come join us together #加密市场反弹 #美联储重启降息步伐
