Don't remind me again today

#ETH走势分析 What mistakes are newbies most likely to make when getting on board? The lessons I learned with 3000 bucks.



Do you still remember the first time you opened a contract?

There is only one voice looping in my head: "Others are fully invested in the market, why should I sit in cash and wait to die?"

At that time, I had 3000 yuan in hand, and everything looked like an opportunity. Go all in? Bet it all! Holding onto positions? Just hold on! If I get liquidated, I grit my teeth and swear I'll win it back next time.

Once, twice, three times... the account balance is like a bucket with a hole in the bottom, no matter how much you fill it, it never gets full.

Every time I blow up, I ask myself: Is my luck too bad? Or is the market targeting me?

Later I figured it out —

It's not a matter of luck; I simply don't have the qualifications to survive in this market.

There is no trading logic, no risk framework, and relying on a gambler's mentality to get on board, making it this far is already considered a big fortune.

The turning point was one day when I forced myself to review all my trading records.

Only by calming down can one realize: liquidation is never an accident, but an inevitable result of operational habits.

The so-called risk control is just empty talk in the face of unordered placing.

The real contract is not about courage, but about rhythm, system, and execution ability.

No matter how fierce the market is, if the mindset collapses first, everything goes to zero.

I started to deeply study technical indicators, especially the Bollinger Bands. It's not just about looking at the lines, but researching the market structure—what constitutes a true breakout? What is a false signal? What does a squeeze mean? How to judge a pullback confirmation?

When I first made a 30x profit using it, I knew I had finally grasped the way.

However, no matter how good the tools are, without the right mindset and position management, they are still useless.

Ask a few questions:

Do you have logical reasoning before placing an order, or do you guess the direction based on intuition?
Are you executing a system, or are you emotionally chasing up and down?
If you can't even be bothered to set a stop-loss, are you here to trade or to experience the thrill of liquidation?

Too many people talk about controlling their destiny, but in reality, they hand their fate over to the random fluctuations of the candlestick.

I now have a much lower frequency of opening orders, but each order has clear on-board rationale, stop-loss positions, and profit expectations.

This is the only way to survive in the long term.

Don't fantasize about getting rich overnight——

This market has never lacked wealth creation myths; what it lacks are traders who can survive three cycles of bull and bear markets and evolve steadily.

Don't be impulsive, don't gamble your life.

Trade steadily, and only by living longer can you laugh to the end.

I'm very familiar with this trap of going all in with 3000, it's quite embarrassing to think about it now.

I really can't go back to the days of going all in with 3000, now looking at my trading records from back then just makes me laugh.

That's so heart-wrenching. Back when I had 3000 bucks, it was just as explosive. Thinking about it now, it's really absurd.

This guy is not wrong, but 3000 yuan for this course is a bit expensive... I'm currently focusing on Bollinger Bands and feel like I've found the trick.

3000 tuition fees? I spent my life force, and I'm still in debt... I felt my eyes strain during that 30x Bollinger Band period, it sounds light and easy, but the reality is that most people don't even get a second chance.
