I've been liquidated again. For many people, $100 might not mean much, but for me, it has a completely different significance.



Two years ago, my account was wiped out directly, and that was a big blow. After two months of reflection, I immersed myself in learning various trading strategies and reopened my positions. From $10 to $100, I didn't make any aggressive moves, and instead achieved seven consecutive days of stable profits. It was this winning streak that made me start to inflate my ego and become overly confident in my trading abilities.

Then I made a fatal mistake—opening a position without any logical basis. After realizing the mistake, I had already closed the position to cut losses, but due to the psychological pressure of the loss, I inexplicably opened another trade. This time, I didn't even have a basic reason for opening the position; I just wanted to recover the losses. The result was predictable—immediate liquidation and margin call.

The scariest part is, after being liquidated, I even considered transferring my spot account coins into the futures account to fight back. It was at that moment I realized my mindset had completely collapsed.

Now I’ve decided to stay quiet for a while, practice with a simulated account, and properly adjust my mindset. Thanks to everyone who has been with me during this time.
