I lost money just three months after entering the circle. Honestly, those days were really tough. I was addicted to contracts, slacking off at work, living in chaos, and only later did I realize the harm of my indifference to those around me.

When I shorted the bull at 2.2, I held on for several days without any improvement; PIPP was cut out after being sold off; the RIVER trade was even more exaggerated — I stubbornly held on for 11 days, with fees eating up two-thirds of the position, and in the end, I couldn't avoid the fate of stop-loss. At that time, my mind was full of "Why can't I make money," and I even thought about blaming the market's own abnormalities.

But at the moment of reflection, I suddenly understood. Indeed, this market is not perfect, and the idea of shorting at high levels is not wrong — the problem was with me. I didn't know how to control fees, I didn't know how to take profits or cut losses, and I shouldn't have stubbornly held on. Every time I lost my composure during a trade, even the best trades in my hands would result in losses.

The root cause of losses has never been how bad the market is, but how undisciplined I am. Now I understand that the difference between making money and losing money in the crypto world lies in one thing: one knows how to review and reflect, while the other keeps repeating mistakes.

My plan moving forward is simple: build my own trading system, strictly follow the plan, and make rules like fees, stop-loss, and take-profit instinctive. Every loss is a lesson, gradually leading to stable profits. I hope everyone can also climb out of their own pits.
