Stop flaunting your profits; first, check if your pants are still intact.

At two o'clock and six minutes in the morning, a WeChat voice message went 'ding,' and A Kun, with a sobbing tone, said: "Bro, I've gone from 80,000 U to 12,000 again. Clearly, I had a floating profit of 30,000 last week..."

I replied, "It's not that you can't earn; it's just that you don't know how to lock in profits."

The other side was silent enough to hear the heartbeat because we both understood — the taste of liquidation is more choking than smoke.

The most toxic curse in this industry isn't a bear market, but rather 'profit mania.'

When one trade doubles, you feel like the chosen one, and immediately throw down another bet, only to see a 50% pullback, and your account is instantly halved. Math is cold: to break even, you need to earn another 100%!

This isn't metaphysics; it's elementary school multiplication.

Last week, BTC plummeted from 93,400 to 81,700, with 2.8 billion U liquidated across the network in 24 hours, 70% of which were high-leverage retail investors 'naked swimming.'

I withdrew my principal into a cold wallet in advance, leaving only profits to roll around inside; no matter how big the pullback, it won’t harm the foundation. What about A Kun?

Just after sending the profit screenshot to the group, he opened a long position with 20x leverage, and a single needle directly pierced through.

The simple methods to protect profits:

1️⃣ Withdraw 30% to your card every time you make a 10% profit; that card is now solely for paying the mortgage, and the balance is enough for next year;

2️⃣ If the pullback exceeds 8%, stop trading for a week; go running, washing dishes, or spend time with your wife — just don’t open any positions;

3️⃣ At the end of each month, forcibly convert the principal into USDC and store it in DeBank; no matter how fierce the gains, don’t touch the principal.

The market is always there, but bullets won’t last forever.

Stop boasting about how much you earned today; first, check if your pants are still intact; if the system is leaking, fix it — don’t wait until the next needle pricks to shout in pain.

Once you learn to lock in profits before earning, you will find — slow is the fastest way.

Those who can survive and still earn in the market have always been the ones willing to reach out first.
