Don't remind me again today

#比特币波动性 Every time I earn 3000U, I directly transfer 1500U into the Cold Wallet without hesitation.


The last market suddenly plummeted, and if I hadn't transferred half out in advance, those numbers on my account would have probably evaporated. You see, unrealized gains are just an illusion; if you don't cash them in, it’s all just fleeting. Always thinking "let's wait a bit longer to earn more," but in the end, you might lose your principal.
How did this habit develop? It's all tears when I talk about it.
When I first started trading contracts, my biggest flaw was stubbornness. The first time I saw the market moving against me, I only had one thought in my mind: "It will definitely come back soon." As a result, I held on from 10 PM to 3 AM, watching my margin leak away like an hourglass. The moment the liquidation notice popped up, my mind went blank— the market never cares whether you believe it will reverse.
Later, I made a strict rule for myself: if I lose five trades in a row, I must stop.
But knowing is one thing, executing is another. There was a time when the market was as chaotic as porridge; I stubbornly refused to believe it, and after losing three trades, I still charged in. As a result, the fifth trade wiped out half a month's profits. That day, I closed the software, ran three kilometers downstairs, and came back to crash into bed until noon the next day. When I woke up to review, I realized that when my mindset collapsed, everything looked like an opportunity, but in fact, they were all traps.
I don't touch the market during the current volatile conditions. I didn't understand before and thought I could make small profits from minor fluctuations, but after opening three positions, the fees and stop losses caused me to lose more than in a one-sided trend – I was repeatedly stopped out, earning nothing and even losing money. Now I only wait for the K-line to show a clear direction, such as a daily line breaking a key level, before I dare to take action. This way, I earn slowly, but at least I won't be tossed around to the point of questioning my life.
Position control is a lesson learned through blood. At first, I always wanted to go all in for a big win, and I directly lost half of my principal in one go. Now I only use 10% of my principal for each position, going in with a maximum of 30U, so even if I make a wrong call, it won't be too damaging. Instead, I can calm down and observe the market. Many people don't fail because of poor skills, but because they can't control their gambling instincts.
To be honest, contracts are not a shortcut to getting rich. Survival relies on execution—cut where you need to, stop when you should, and take profits when it's time. In the past, I fumbled around alone, took too many detours, and only then did I realize that trying to figure things out on my own is just too slow.
