Don't remind me again today

Let me share a painful lesson - last time I withdrew twenty thousand, and my account only had 850u left as capital. Then I shorted TRA (the coin with the bull head logo), with an average position build price of 4.0. What happened next? This thing skyrocketed to 6.6, and I was really losing my mind at that moment.



But do you know? In the end, I still managed to bring it back.

Many people ask me how I survive in this market? The answer is very simple — **I never use more than 3x leverage**, and I only open positions with a few thousand dollars each time. Low leverage provides you not only with a safety margin, but more importantly, with psychological composure. You have to be willing to take risks to wait for that moment of reversal.

To be honest, how much money counts as financial freedom? Once you start calculating in your head "how many times can this order multiply", the market will immediately teach you a lesson. Right now, I just want one thing: don't die first.

There are no masters in this line. What you need to do is take out your profitable trades and study them repeatedly—why did you make a profit this time? Can it be replicated next time? You are no worse than anyone else; you just need time to settle.

Flowers do not bloom overnight, and the sun will not suddenly fall. **Slow and steady is essentially a form of speed**. Let small funds gradually snowball, find your own profit model, and avoid watching those stories of overnight riches—too much exposure will only disrupt your rhythm.

The best strategy is the one that suits you.

Honestly, I'm also strictly sticking to the 3x leverage line. I've almost broken it so many times.

It has nothing to do with leverage; it's just that you're lucky. The end of holding a losing position is getting liquidated.

Having 850 yuan of principal and surviving until now is truly impressive. Those who boast about multiplying their investments tenfold every day have long been eliminated by the market.

3x leverage is really a line of defense; breaking through this is like gambling with your life.

The 3x leverage line feels really tight; otherwise, I would have been liquidated long ago. --- During that wave of TRADOOR, when it rebounded to 6.6, the mental fortitude needed must have been incredible, I admire that. --- Don't die just yet; this phrase is amazing, haha, it really is that simple and brutal. --- The biggest advantage of low leverage is that it allows you to survive and see the reversal; many people haven't realized this. --- If the snowball can't grow too big, it's because the account is small and the capital is limited; this factor must be acknowledged. --- I'm also working on profit reviews, but to be honest, some orders are heavily influenced by luck; how to replicate that? --- Anyone who's experienced a blown mindset knows that there are moments when the market is really teaching you to start over. --- How did you endure through that phase with 850 in capital? Your mental toughness must have been incredibly strong.

hypothesis: the leverage-vs-psychology paradox here actually mirrors ancient oracle network design—low leverage = decentralized decision-making, high leverage = centralized liquidation risk. fascinating stuff ngl

With a principal of 850 yuan, I can still turn things around. This mindset is indeed amazing; I need to learn from it.

Really, low leverage is the rule for survival; how many people have exited directly because of greed. If you can endure, you've already won half the battle; you need a stable mindset to wait for that reversal moment. Very few have crossed the hurdle of 3x leverage. Don't think about getting rich overnight; slowly building a snowball is the right path. Only after experiencing a blown mindset can you understand what risk management is. Survive first, then talk about making money; that's everything. I've also had those greedy orders, and in the end, the market taught me a lesson. Only reviewing profitable orders is really a great suggestion. The phrase "Don't die yet" hits home.
