Recently reviewed my trading records from the past 30 days, and I have gained some deep insights.
Initially, I used 1000U to go long on ETH and BTC. The early situation looked pretty good, and I doubled my investment. But then my judgment went wrong, and I misread the market pattern, decisively switching to a short position, which caused my account to shrink to 600U. That 4% loss was quite painful, but fortunately I broke even in the end. I thought the follow-up would go smoothly, but unexpectedly, the next day the market reversed sharply in a V-shape and moved upward.
Profits evaporated instantly, and I found myself in a passive position. A few days later, the Federal Reserve announced a rate cut, and the market surged immediately. My short position was close to liquidation at around 3500U, which made me break out in cold sweat. Luckily, after the rate cut policy was implemented, the market started to turn downward, avoiding the worst-case scenario.
Over these 30 days, I made quite a few short-term trades and gradually recovered some of my losses. I still hold short positions on ETH and BTC.
This experience made me realize that trading is essentially a process of continuous trial and error, and iteration. Every mistake I made has become valuable experience, and the market teaches you in the most direct way what respect really means.
