# After losing 400,000 U during liquidation, rolling 7,000 U to 600,000 U: Trading wins by 'doing nothing'
That night, when I lost 400,000 U, there was only 7,000 U left in my account — the candlestick chart on my phone started to blur, I didn't dare to look at my position, tossing and turning all night, even doubting whether I was suited for trading at all.
However, this liquidation became my turning point. After more than three years, I managed to roll back from 7,000 U to 600,000 U; the greatest gain was not technical improvement, but learning the patience of 'doing nothing'.
In the past, I was afraid of missing any fluctuations: frequently opening positions, setting stop losses, and adding to positions, living like a gambler. After the liquidation, I spent two weeks reviewing all my losing trades, and the results were heartbreaking: 90% of the losses stemmed from two bad habits — stubbornly holding against the trend and letting winning trades turn into losing ones.
From that moment on, I set three iron rules, which I have strictly followed to this day:
1. Never exceed 10% of my position: no matter how good the opportunity, I do not scale in. For example, I only dare to use 3x leverage to test ETH long positions, take profits when in the green, and never chase after prices, avoiding emotional trades;
2. Stop losses and take profits are set in stone: if I lose 5%, I exit immediately, and if I gain 20%, I take half off in batches, using trailing stops to protect the remaining position, leaving no room for changing my mind;
3. Most of the time 'do nothing': 80% of market fluctuations are garbage information, I only act when the trend is clear on the daily chart, and I firmly remain in cash during other times.
To talk about real operations: When BTC broke through a key level with volume, I only entered the middle range, regardless of fluctuations, and in the end, I benefited from a 70% increase; BNB directly shorted after breaking the support level, no adding to positions and no regrets, just waiting for the target level; After BTC's false breakout, I shorted in batches, setting the stop loss above the previous high, ultimately capturing profits from the sharp decline.
Ultimately, the success of flipping the account and the duration of watching the market, as well as the complexity of indicators, are irrelevant; what truly determines success or failure is execution and discipline.
