Don't remind me again today

The last BTC contract got me liquidated directly, and I was planning to completely exit the circle. As a result, a certain platform credited my account with 15u—fine, I'll take this money and gamble a bit; either I'll turn it around or get liquidated and accept my fate, at least it gives me some closure.



To be honest, I have had my moments of glory too. There was a time when my trading skills were really on point; I could hold onto losing trades for a week without worry, and I managed to double my stakes several times. Back then, I truly felt like I had figured it out—knowing exactly when to enter the market and when to take profits, everything was clear in my mind. My confidence grew to the point where I began to look down on the market, increasing my position sizes more and more, and at one point, I was all in with my entire account, with the liquidation price just two points away from my entry price.

I bragged to my friend: I would rather steadily earn 100u a month than the thrill of making a few hundred u in a day. After all, for an ordinary person, a few hundred u might be a month's salary. But the problem lies here – once you get used to making a profit, it's particularly hard to accept losses. When you see your account in the green, you can't help but add to your position to try to recover, and as a result, you get deeper and deeper into trouble, ultimately getting liquidated.

Later, I went to check the information and found that this situation is not an isolated case; it is a law of human nature. The saying in the "Tao Te Ching" "The reversal is the movement of the Dao" is too accurate - if you go along with human instincts, you are just an ordinary person; only by going against human nature can you possibly attain enlightenment.

In simple terms, if you can't overcome these flaws—disliking losses, becoming emotional, and having habitual thinking—then the money you make in the market is just due to luck, and in the end, it will also be taken back by luck. This time, it depends on whether you can truly break through yourself.

One should act according to their capacity when placing an order.
