At three in the morning, I stared at the 1200U on the screen, and my whole being felt numb.
It's not because losing all the money feels bad. It's that feeling of a belief collapsing - you think you understand the market, but the market teaches you a lesson.
Three months ago, I entered the market with 20,000 USDT, thinking I could master this game. Now my account has only a small amount left, and just opening the trading interface makes me feel nauseous. That night, I didn't sleep at all, taking screenshots of all my losing orders, examining them one by one. When I saw that I had made the same mistake for the seventh time, I suddenly realized: it’s not the market trying to kill me, it's me who is self-sabotaging.
Later, I started doing one thing – I broke down and studied how to play with the main forces of the 30 most common cryptocurrencies. What patterns exist between whale transfers and price fluctuations? I kept a record. Is the breakout strategy really reliable? I tested it over 200 times in a simulated environment. I obsessively focused on the details like a madman.
After half a year, 1200U turned into 280,000U. When I saw the balance, I wasn't overjoyed, just relieved—this proves that knowledge can really be converted into money.
Many people now think that I am steady in trading and believe that I have a good mindset. In fact, I have just experienced enough liquidations to know when to keep quiet.
Last month, a fan from Zhejiang reached out to me. He lost 80,000 U and was left with only 3,800. His voice was trembling when he sent me a voice message. I told him to wait until FIL retraced to around 2.0 dollars to go long with his full position. Four days later, he took profit at 2.648, not only recovering his losses but also making 5,900 U. Yesterday, he sent photos of his new store renovation, saying he finally dared to tell his family that he is trading.
If you are experiencing the breakdown I had back then, remember three things:
Don't bet your entire fortune. Trying to turn your meal money into a fortune? You'll only end up losing even more badly.
Turn off the software when emotions are running high. The candlestick chart won't disappear, but your rationality will be the first to go.
Every loss should be recorded with the reason for the loss. The market teaches you with real money, so don't pay tuition and learn nothing.
Recently, I noticed that there are two cryptocurrencies on the chain experiencing unusual movements, which match the characteristics of the "whale accumulation + technical breakout" model. If you are interested in practical strategies, you can follow the subsequent analysis.

Having blown so many positions, I no longer feel anything when looking at the Candlestick.

A typical narrative of suckers bailing-in, but that "getting liquidated enough to understand" actually feels a bit truthful.
---
280,000 U flipped from 1,200 U, does the chip distribution and Trading Volume match up, or is it just another story?
---
I need to look at the Candlestick pattern for that FIL trade, going straight to Full Position from 2.0 to 2.648? This risk release is a bit fast.
---
Stop teaching people to remember their losses all day, first make your trading journal public, otherwise it’s just another "mentor harvesting" story.
---
To put it bluntly, it still captures people's hearts. Those who have lost money are most easily brainwashed by the saying "I’ve been liquidated too," while the probability strategy has been there all along, it’s not a secret.

The pattern has formed, Whale accumulation... here come the terms again, I just want to know what your net profit is for the past six months, real data is worth more than motivational quotes.

When I got liquidated, I really questioned my life; now I understand it’s just the tuition that suckers have to pay.

This experience is incredible, it truly illustrates the greed of human nature and the cruelty of the market.
Getting liquidated to the point of numbness is real; at that time, it was no longer called losing money, it was called losing one's soul.
I particularly agree with the point about recording each loss; it's equivalent to using u to buy a valuable lesson.
However, to be honest, the leap from 1200 to 280,000 is significant, and many people will mythologize your methodology, but the real difficulty lies in execution and psychological building.
Some statements are indeed heart-wrenching—at critical moments, rationality collapses before technique.

Getting liquidated seven times before realizing the truth, that's the tuition fee, brother.
---
I feel the same, rationality really does run away first, the Candlestick is always there waiting for you.
---
There are still people who think going all in can turn things around, wake up everyone.
---
Not feeling ecstatic at 280,000 is the true winner's mentality, everything else is虚.
---
The key is to keep accounts, otherwise you'll keep repeating the same pit.
---
After recouping investment from that FIL trade, I dared to tell my family, this change in mentality is the start of making money.
---
I'm watching the unusual on-chain movement, waiting for your subsequent analysis.

The 1200U at 3 AM and the 280,000 six months later, the difference is restraint.

Really, the feeling of losing from 20,000 to 1,200, those who understand know it.
At three in the morning, I stared at the 1200U on the screen, and my whole being felt numb.
