The 2025 trading summary has just been released. The data for this year is in front of us—win rate of 54.9%, total trading volume of $130,000, profit of over $2,200 but wiped out by losses of $3,790, resulting in a negative net profit. December was especially intense, with the monthly trading peak reaching $50K.

Looking at these numbers, the most painful lesson is only one: never underestimate the destructive power of emotions on trading. Every time you feel the market is about to turn, confidence rises, and you start to hold heavy positions and leverage more, the result is frequent margin calls. One or two times can be tolerated, but more than that becomes a bloody lesson.

A win rate over 50% sounds good, but profits being turned negative by losses indicates the problem is not with the winning trades, but with those losing trades—being too heavy-handed. Risk control always comes first, with no exceptions. Don’t let the excitement of a market rally ruin your efforts for the whole year.

Winning rate of 54.9% sounds good, but the net profit is negative? This is a classic case of **position management failure**. Small gains are wiped out by one or two large losses, indicating that the risk exposure design was never properly considered. I've seen this situation too many times—people always overestimate their ability to judge the market and underestimate the destructive power of black swan events. The peak trading volume of 50K in December is even more painful; the more anxious they are, the more likely they are to leverage up, which is completely the opposite logic.

Oh no, another vivid example of leverage suicide... The win rate isn't low, but losing money—that's just ridiculous. --- Feeling like a $50K impulse in December might just wipe out all the previous gains. --- Basically, it's greed taking over; when the market moves, your mind just goes blank. --- Net profit turns negative... Brother, how much can you tinker with that? --- I'm very familiar with the heavy leverage and large positions routine. Every time I think this wave will make big money, but... uh. --- I've heard "Risk control first" a hundred times, but how many can really do it? --- A 54.9% win rate and still losing money—that takes a lot of hands to pull. --- A margin call can wipe out all the small profits from before; lessons learned the hard way are not in vain. --- Emotional damage is indeed incredible; that's how I blew up my account. --- Looking at this data, you must have been especially regretful at the moment of liquidation.

Ah, this reverse operation of net profit is truly the art of leverage. --- A 54% win rate and still losing money, really just a case of a good hand played badly. --- Charging to 50K in December? That’s just the final madness, I get it. --- The moment you go all-in, your mind really turns to mush. I’ve felt it too. --- How many times have I said risk control comes first? When the real market arrives, everyone forgets it all. --- A loss of 3790 vs a profit of 2200, brother, doesn’t that gap hurt your heart? --- Thinking back, the margin call was terrifying, all because of a moment of excitement. --- The problem isn’t making money but losing money. That’s a harsh truth that hits home. --- Emotions are more decisive than any indicator in determining your account’s fate. --- Every time I say I’ll control it next time, but next time I still add leverage. Is this just fate?

Another live example where the win rate looks decent, but in the end, it results in a loss... This is the magic of leverage. Huh, it feels like my own story is playing out here again, so damn heartbreaking. A single emotion can instantly wipe out a year's worth of effort, I truly understand this.

Oh no, this is a classic case of "making enough money but losing it all in spending"... Going all-in and ruining everything, I've really seen it all Emotional trading is truly incredible; every time I think I can predict the market It's like a year of wasted effort, and I end up losing money... I need to reflect

Sigh, this is the classic "winner's syndrome." Although the win rate is over 50%, the result is still a loss... Going all-in in one shot really can't be changed; emotions are like poison. What does the peak monthly trading volume of 50K in December indicate? It shows that the mentality has completely spiraled out of control. These days, living well is more important than anything else. Don't risk your life for a quick market move. In fact, it's just one sentence: poor position management, everything else is nonsense. Looks like 2025 will be a year to relearn how to be a decent person.

Uh... winning more than half the time but still losing money is just ridiculous. Leverage really is a double-edged sword. The thrill of going all-in is followed by the despair of liquidation. I understand. Emotional trading is the biggest enemy; no point in arguing. A monthly trading volume of 50K in December... you must be really excited to trade like that. Risk control should always come first, but no one wants to hear that. Next time, remember: controlling your position size is more important than anything else.

This win rate is deceptive; making little profit and losing more is just a trap. Trading for a year actually resulted in a loss. Leverage is truly the devil. The peak of 50K in December, guess if it has exploded again. Risk control first, I've heard it so many times but still don't learn. Emotional damage is indeed absolute, but it's easy to say and hard to do.
