Having been in the circle for less than five years, my account operation on a certain top exchange has been less than 900 days. Looking back on this period, the highest single-day profit occurred during the Trump market, but unfortunately, most of the profits were later wiped out on Solana spot trading. The losses during that time were indeed quite impactful, and my mindset fluctuated accordingly.
Since then, I have slowed down and become more cautious in approaching each trade. My New Year's goal is very clear: to continue optimizing the trading system, with two core words—control. Control risk, control drawdown ratio, control the proportion of single-loss trades. I don’t aim for big profits, but I must reduce unnecessary losses. The lessons learned this time are profound and have made me realize that steady growth is more worthwhile than rapid doubling.

That wave of SOL was really intense; profits came quickly, and losses came just as fast. Managing risk is easier to say than to do.

Sol's massive loss is really a moment of enlightenment; so many people have fallen here.

Sol's wave was really amazing, I even threw up the earnings haha
Steady growth is indeed the right path; rapid doubling is usually a sign of an impending explosion
Controlling drawdowns is easier to say than to do
Trump's wave wasn't maintained, it's a regret to think about
As long as the mindset is adjusted now, the next bull market is just around the corner

Bro, that wave of losses on Solana really hurt, I feel you.
The worst part is giving back profits, it really messes with your mindset.
Controlling the drawdown is half the battle; once you realize this, it's not a waste.
