In this market, surviving is more important than anything else.

To be honest, I've stumbled too. Back when I was playing with #ETH巨鲸增持 , the leverage was outrageous. I would get itchy fingers at the slightest movement in the K-line; if it went up a bit, I wanted to flee, and if it dropped a bit, I would stubbornly hold on. My account at that time was like a roller coaster — I would make profits ten times, but one liquidation would wipe it all out. What drove me crazy the most? Every time I entered the market, the price would start plummeting; just as I cut my losses and left, it would damn well bounce back up. There were a few times when it was clearly just a normal pullback, but I stubbornly held on, refusing to admit I was wrong, and ended up directly facing liquidation. Watching the market rebound right in front of my eyes, that feeling made me want to smash my phone.

After that wave of market fluctuations, I have seen too many people fall into the same pit:

High leverage is not a tool to accelerate you; it is a guillotine prepared for you.
Chasing the rise and cutting losses always puts you at the highest emotional point to buy in and the lowest point to sell.
Stubbornly refusing to admit defeat, turning small losses into a complete liquidation, transforming what was manageable into a collapse.

Later, I completely changed my approach. No longer seeking thrills, I began to learn to "survive":

Only look at the larger time frames. Trends above the 4-hour level are worth acting on; those one-minute fluctuations are not worth noticing.
Only trade high certainty swings. Small level fluctuations? Don't touch. Wait for big opportunities, it's enough to make a full wave.
Each order has a stop loss. You know how much you are losing, the risk is transparent, and it’s not gambling.

The most crucial point - limit a single stop loss to within 2% of the total capital. What does this mean? Even if you make a series of wrong trades, your account won't blow up. When a good market comes, you'll recover all of it.

$ZEC During that time, I learned a lesson: there are always opportunities in the market, but most people have already perished in the bear market. Those who can wait for the bull market are never the ones with the best skills, but rather those with the strongest execution and the longest survival.

Rules are for saving your life, and discipline is for making money. If you keep your rhythm, the market will naturally deliver the wave of trends that belong to you.

The best experts never show off their skills; they just silently execute discipline. Slow is fast. Only by living long can one laugh out loud.
