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.
ETH-1.33%
BTC-0.43%

This injection was too harsh; if it weren't for good luck, I would have really been wiped out.

Wow, this injection was absolutely painful. If I hadn't been lucky, I probably would've burst right away.

Bro, this wave has really been a roller coaster, I can't imagine how painful it was when I was on the verge of liquidation at 3500U. Alright, alright, the market is just like this. Make some profit, then give it back, and repeat the cycle. I'm still holding the short position. Did I really see it right this time, or am I about to get pierced again?

ah yes, the classic "caught fighting the fed" narrative... statistically speaking, this is *exactly* how 2018 played out for retail traders. you got schooled by market psychology 101 and somehow calling it "experience value" - that's the kinda mindset that precedes capitulation phases ngl

Oh no, this injection really hurts. The feeling of grinding back from short-term trading is just messing around. Trying to catch the bottom and getting trapped really requires a change of temper; a narrow perspective is a common flaw. Oh my, on the verge of liquidation at 3500U, my heartbeat is as intense as a K-line. The market plays you like this, doubling and then shrinking, flipping back and forth. Respect—these two words are so true. Losing money is just tuition.
