#数字资产市场动态 Ten Years of Trading: From Liquidation to Survival

Having been in the crypto world for nearly ten years, I’ve been beaten up by contracts many times in the early years. Just after topping up my margin, my position would be wiped out, and this happened too many times to count.

It was only later that I realized it’s not the market’s brutality, but my impatience. Always wanting to turn things around with a single trade, the more I chased quick doubles, the easier I pushed myself into a dead end. After falling multiple times, I finally understood—the market itself isn’t cruel; what’s cruel is my own greed and impatience.

The lessons learned from these pitfalls can now be summarized into a few painful truths:

1. When you’re trapped, accept reality. Never think about adding to your position to gamble on a rebound, as that will only deepen your losses. Adding to a position is meant to average costs and manage risk, not a gambler’s tool to recover losses.

2. The calmer the market, the more vigilant you should be. After a rally, when the market starts consolidating, it’s usually digesting pressure. When people around start frequently showing off their profits, it’s a signal to tighten up.

3. Position management is the key. Heavy positions leave no room for error; a single misjudgment can lead to immediate exit. Smaller positions tend to last longer.

4. Ultimately, it’s all about mindset. The methodology isn’t that complicated—what matters is who can control themselves over the long term. Don’t be reckless when making money, and don’t panic when losing money—that’s how you survive until the end.

In trading, slow is fast, and stability wins. Avoid detours so your money stays safe. Whether it’s BTC’s volatility or the allure of altcoin seasons, the core logic remains the same—risk control first, mindset is king.
