#数字资产市场动态 Remember the cold winter of 2017. ETH started to plunge from $1400, and I went all-in at $400. Then I watched helplessly as it continued to crash to $80. During that time, I cursed the market and the whales all over, but I never once looked in the mirror.
Only later did I realize a painful truth: trading is like a mirror, reflecting your level of understanding, temper, personality, and even your soul’s appearance. Those who are unwilling to admit mistakes become frequent losers.
Is the market hard? The difficulty lies in its constant uncertainty. Is the market simple? Actually, it’s incredibly simple—you just need to keep doing the right things repeatedly:
· Only act when familiar signals appear in $BTC · Close your position immediately without hesitation when hitting the stop-loss line · Once profitable, forcibly convert 50% into cash
Honestly, there’s never been anything new in the market. Greed and fear are repeated over and over in decades of candlestick charts. The pitfalls others have stepped into, you’re likely to step into too. The difference is, some learn from history and become wiser, while others need the market to teach them a lesson firsthand. I belong to the latter.
Now my trading framework is as lean as it can be:
· Only trade three chart patterns I’ve mastered · Stop-loss is as natural as breathing, never hesitating · 50% of profits must be taken as living expenses
It took me 8 years and costly lessons to refine this system. It’s not flashy, but it works—helping you survive the bull and bear cycles, and do so more and more steadily.
If you’re tired of being cut during every bull and bear cycle, instead of continuing to be driven by emotions, why not change your approach? From a passive chip slave to a calm hunter holding the rules.

Back when it was 80 bucks, I was also there, holding on until now without getting out... That's what I say, but in reality, very few people can stick to the discipline and follow through.

Basically, admitting mistakes is too difficult. If the market hadn't jolted me awake, I wouldn't have this set of things today.

I was also in on the 80 yuan wave. I still remember that sense of despair... But then I realized, the real loss wasn't the money, it was the brain.

Really, I was also involved in the 2017 wave, but I wasn't as unlucky as him. Looking back now, it was purely greed taking over.

That's exactly right, that's the way it is. I was all in on ETH when it was at 400, and now thinking about it, it's really quite ironic.
Really, the market is just a mirror, you can't look directly into it.

Looking in the mirror really hits home. I used to blame everything on others, but later I realized I was the one losing money due to my own greed.
