#数字资产市场动态 I know a guy who, among all the traders I've seen in the crypto circle over the years, has the strongest self-control.
He comes from a foreign trade background, is from Guangdong, and has been in this circle for nearly seven years. During the hottest market times, his account once broke a million, but in the following years, he also stepped on many mines—holding onto positions, getting liquidated, suffering huge losses, losing over 6 million in total, and eventually barely holding on.
Others would have panicked: leverage up, go all-in, try to turn things around in one shot, but the result is usually a free fall. But he's different.
When he approached me, he didn't talk much about market predictions; he simply said calmly, "No more gambling, just a different way of living."
Over the next six months, he exemplified the word "patience" very thoroughly—
No matter how promising a trade looks, he keeps his position below 20%;
Only uses the profits to try, never touches the principal;
Set stop-losses early, exit when the price hits the stop, no bargaining;
If he can't see through the market, he simply stays in cash, watching others get anxious, while he remains very steady.
During that time, the market still fluctuated wildly—some people would explode three times a day, then reflect at night and jump back in during the day. He was like a running program, executing each order mechanically, without extra movements.
Turning things around doesn't require any big secret—within six months, he gradually recovered the over 1 million he had lost.
Later, when we talked, he said, "The money is back, and my mind is clear. I really no longer have greed." That really touched me.
Some people in this circle can’t figure out why they keep losing their whole lives, but he managed to survive the toughest times with the simplest discipline.
The ones who can truly stand up are never about fancy operations—it's all about position sizing, stop-losses, and controlling that hand that always wants to reach out.
Liquidation isn't about how fierce the market is; honestly, it's just that you can't resist adding a little more each time.
If you're also caught in a back-and-forth between losing money and breaking even, stop relying on intuition to rush in. If you want to learn the real way to survive in this circle, whether it's $AAVE or other coins, the core always remains this set of disciplines.
