#数字资产生态回暖 Many newcomers come in thinking that if they choose the right direction, they can just sit back and win effortlessly. Let me tell you with a tuition of 730,000 — it's all an illusion.



That year, I started with leverage trading, and within half a year, I lost everything. What's the irony? I guessed the right direction several times during key operations. And yet? I still lost everything.

Later, when I reviewed my historical trading records, I realized — I wasn't defeated by the market itself, but by three套路 that drove me to the brink of collapse.

**First Trap: Charging in without a plan.**
Whenever the market moves, I get restless. I see a breakout and go all in immediately; and then? I get stabbed and pushed out right after entering. I can't even react in time.

**Second Trap: Setting stop-losses like a joke.**
3%, 5% dead stop-loss points? Contract volatility can shake you tenfold with just one wave. This little room of space is just snacks for the market makers.

I remember being kicked out three times in a row by "fake breakouts." The most painful part? Watching the market soar in my predicted direction while I had already been cleared out early. That feeling… was very costly.

Later, I figured out that: stop-losses can't be fixed at a single point; they need to be adjusted according to the fluctuations of the K-line. This is a skill, not a matter of willpower.

**Third Trap: Going all-in with a single trade.**
Going all in once is like handing your account over to the gods. Even if your direction is completely correct, as long as a few K-lines move against you, your balance will still be wiped out.

That night I got liquidated, I stared at the interface, watching the balance drop to zero, my hands trembling for ten minutes.

Afterward, I set three non-breakable rules for myself:

1. Never go all-in; split every position into three parts for entry and exit.
2. Track stop-loss points dynamically with market fluctuations; don't be led by emotions.
3. If you can't see the market clearly, stay out of the market. Holding cash is also a kind of position.

With this approach, I went from consecutive liquidations to gradually stabilizing profits. Over a year, my account nearly tripled.

In this market, the ones who truly survive are never those who guessed the right direction the most times. It’s those who make the fewest mistakes and last the longest.

Crypto world — having the right direction doesn’t mean you can make money; surviving is the real core competitiveness.

Stop-loss is like boundary checks in smart contracts; setting it incorrectly is the beginning of a reentrancy attack. The logic of position splitting this guy mentioned is actually a gas optimization idea—don't go all-in and deduct everything at once.

ngl the whole "direction matters" thing is such a tired narrative... it's the risk management poetry that separates the survivors from the liquidation queue fr

730,000 in tuition fees for a lesson, I wonder what I can do with this money... But to be honest, the dynamic stop-loss tracking trick I also learned from being liquidated.

The experience gained from 730,000 in tuition fees boils down to discipline. I think many people haven't understood clearly — predicting correctly ≠ making money, these are two different things.

$730,000 in tuition sounds a bit high, but compared to those who directly go all-in with metaphysics, this guy at least summarized his experience... Dynamic stop-loss tracking is indeed a skill.
