Once, I was liquidated at 3 a.m., but now I should be asleep early when the morning comes. This is definitely not luck, but the result of establishing my own trading logic.

Back then, a friend sent me a message—"Liquidated again. Third time this week." Just a few words on the screen, but they revealed endless exhaustion. His account shrank from hundreds of thousands to just a few thousand in a few weeks, and his life was completely thrown into chaos: sleeping during the day, trading at night, eyes bloodshot.

Having been in the crypto world for so many years, I’ve seen too many similar routines. Liquidations, repeated stop-losses, full positions bottom-fishing, mindless leverage—almost all beginners go through this. But on this path, those who can truly endure are never the ones with the best technical analysis, but those who can see through their losses.

**Why do we always lose? It’s not the market that’s the problem, it’s you**

When I first started trading, I also stared at the K-line, never leaving its side, afraid of missing a wave of market movement. And what happened? My mood fluctuated with the market, I took profits and ran, or held on stubbornly when I was losing. Ended up with injuries all over.

This is a common problem for most people: constantly checking the market, losing sleep over it, unable to hold onto profits, stubbornly resisting stop-losses. Why? Because we want to control the market, but we can’t even control our own fingers.

The market can never be predicted precisely, but your operations can be fully controlled. The later I realize this, the faster my trading account shrinks.

**From consecutive liquidations to finding a way out**

After experiencing round after round of liquidations, he came to me and said, "Help me think, I want to sleep well." I explained to him one thing—making money in the crypto world doesn’t rely on emotions, but on logic, strategy, and discipline. With a system in place, you can break free from being controlled by the market.
