Coming from a background in foreign trade, he's been in the crypto space for nearly seven years. When the market was hot, his account once touched over a million. But the hardest years were when he kept hitting the wall, holding through losses, and getting liquidated—losing over 6 million in total.
Normally, most people would have blown up by then—leveraging up, going all-in, hoping for a quick rebound. But he didn't do that.
At that time, he came to me and didn't ask about market trends; he just said one thing: "I don't want to gamble anymore. I want to follow the rules."
For the next half year, I watched him embody "restraint" to the extreme:
For trades with confidence, he kept the position at 20%. No principal movement, only using profits to try. Set stop-losses early, exit when hit, zero emotion. When there's no trend, he stays in cash. While others get impatient, he's instead steady.
That period, the market still kept messing with people. Some would blow up three times a day, review, and push harder. But he was like a machine, executing trade after trade.
Nothing miraculous happened, but the results were solid—over half a year, he gradually recovered the 1 million+ he had lost.
Later, he told me one thing that left a deep impression: "The money is back, and I’ve woken up. I’m no longer greedy."
In this market, true turnaround stories never come from those miraculous operations. It’s about position sizing, stop-losses, and being able to control yourself. Liquidation is never because the market is too fierce; it’s because you can’t resist placing one more bet every time.
Friends stuck in the cycle of爆仓—恢复—再爆仓, stop relying on feelings and go all in blindly.

To be honest, this is what a true trader should look like. Not the kind of gambler mentality, dreaming every day of a big turnaround. The word "discipline" sounds simple, but actually practicing it is truly exceptional.

Damn, these are real traders, not those lunatics who boast about making a few points daily.

This is true trading wisdom, not something that can be taught with candlestick secrets.

This is true genius, not those who shout every day "I want ten times."

Really, self-control is the most difficult lesson, and most people can't do it.
This guy is the most disciplined trader I know.
