When the PEVERSE stop-loss order was triggered, I started to seriously examine my trading logic. Looking back and pondering repeatedly, the issue remains the same old saying—"Persistence."

Over the years, I've seen too many market situations, and a profound realization is: there is no such thing as an eternal money-making machine in the market, only the illusion of prosperity within cycles. When real money is poured in and it hits a bubble period, there is only one path in front of you—trust your judgment, stick to your strategy, and even if you're temporarily wrong, hold on.

I increasingly believe in this: in the end, those who survive and laugh last are never the smartest people, but those who can grit their teeth and persist. That's how this market is; it always tests willpower.

When the stop-loss is triggered, start reflecting. It shows that I still haven't figured it out. I actually think that sticking too rigidly can easily lead to being trapped; the key is to learn when to let go. I experienced this loss when doing fork arbitrage before, and only then did I realize that sometimes just staying alive makes you the winner—forget about any strategy.

The moment the stop-loss is triggered, to put it simply, the market is teaching a lesson. Those who survive don't rely on IQ but on temperament.

Uh, once the stop-loss is triggered, I start to reflect. I’ve done this move many times before. Honestly, it’s still a mindset issue. What should I stick to? Sometimes, you just have to admit defeat when you should. Not every "toughing it out" can lead to a turnaround. Surviving doesn’t necessarily mean winning; it also depends on whether surviving is worth it. To laugh last, you first have to be able to laugh.

The clearest moment is when the stop-loss is triggered; it's more effective than any review. Persistence is easy to talk about, but when real money is on the line, who doesn't want to run? The key is to trust yourself. Those who survive are never necessarily the smartest, but those who stubbornly hold on—there's no other secret. This market tests your mentality; IQ isn't as valuable. It's just a cycle illusion. Once you see through it, it's not so painful anymore.

The moment a stop-loss is triggered, I can actually stay calm, which I think is quite valuable. Persistence is indeed a threshold; most people give up during the first cycle. The smartest ones are actually more prone to failure; those who make it to the end are the stubborn ones. To put it simply, it's about mental resilience, with skills coming second, and willpower being the true core.
