#美联储降息 That evening's review and reflection, my trading student suddenly choked up: "Master, I put 400,000 yuan of capital into full leverage trading, and now I have less than 40,000 left."
I handed her a glass of water, and a thought flashed through my mind—what she had said before: "You're too conservative. When the market comes, you have to dare to hold heavy positions."
She forced a smile: "Now I finally understand, compared to losing money, I'm more afraid of missing out."
Some pitfalls, you can only truly understand by jumping into them yourself.
"Is it possible that the exchange is deliberately against me?" Her voice was very low, "Why does it fall every time I open a long, and rise when I cut my losses?"
"The crypto market fluctuates every second, and our small amount of funds is insignificant inside it." I pointed to the screen, "No one is watching you, it's just that beginners always overcomplicate and overrate every trade they make."
"So how can I get back to break even?"
"Sharing the ways to make money in the crypto circle, it's so simple that it's hard to believe." I paused, "But the real difficulty is never knowing, it's whether you can persist and do it."
I remembered a previous example— that quant trader with a finance degree, who still lost money using complex models; downstairs at the vegetable market, an auntie simply used the most straightforward dollar-cost averaging method and ended up making a fortune. What determines victory or defeat isn’t how deep your knowledge is, but how strong your mindset is.
"Now what should I buy?"
"If Bitcoin can stay stable at a key support level, just buy in batches, set stop-losses, and hold tight." I said directly.
She blinked, seemingly caught off guard: "Just... just like that?"
"Exactly like that." I looked into her eyes and asked, "But now, if I ask you to do nothing when you're floating with a 30% loss, can you endure it? If I tell you to put down your phone and stop watching the K-line's every second fluctuation, can you do it?"
She fell silent.
How many people like her are completely confused by those flashy technical indicators and overnight wealth stories, but end up losing sight of the most basic things—discipline, patience, and not being greedy.
Actually, no matter what asset you trade, no matter how perfect your entry strategy is, it’s all useless without the right mindset. Not greedy, not impatient, not impulsive—these three seemingly old-fashioned principles are the last line of defense for survival.

400,000 directly lost. This is the cost of full position leverage. So tragic.

400,000 becomes 40,000... This is the price of full-position leverage trading. It hurts, and I feel for it, but missing this lesson would be a waste.

400,000 lost down to 40,000, this is the consequence of leverage. To put it simply, the crypto market is a mindset game; no matter how fancy technical analysis is, it can't withstand the power of "greed."

400,000 down to 40,000, how much can you mess around... The problem is that most people simply can't learn the lesson of putting down their phones.

400,000 to 40,000, this is the result of full-position leverage trading. I really can't hold on anymore. To put it plainly, greed is the culprit. The fear of missing out is more terrifying than losing money, and this illness needs treatment.
