#加密生态动态追踪 # A Self-Transformation of a Liquidation Victim: From Bankruptcy to Turnaround in Trading
That moment, I made a decision — either smash the keyboard or wake myself up.
Having lost everything twice, 400,000 USDT vanished in a month of madness. When my account was down to 7,000 USDT, I began to understand what it means to be alive. I no longer dared to order dishes with eggs on the takeout menu, staring at the liquidation screenshot for two days and nights until my eyes dried out and I couldn’t open them. Only then did I realize a painful truth: my opponent was not the market, but that hand that always wants to gamble one more time.
So I did something crazy — wrapped my mouse with tape, wrote three sentences on sticky notes and stuck them on the screen: Don’t gamble on the market, don’t fight the trend, don’t dream of a comeback.
**Rebirth Starts with Calmness**
The first trade was very cautious — entered ETH at 1750, exited at 1820, with a 12% profit. I wasn’t earning money; I was proving to myself that I could still think normally. It felt like a drowning person finally stepping onto solid ground.
The second trade truly taught me what it means to follow the trend. During the week of September, BNB’s daily chart broke below the MA30, with trading volume surging 120%. I wasn’t excited, just coldly opened a 3x short position. During the decline, I only added 10% of my position, refusing to increase my position recklessly after a plunge. When my target was hit, I closed the position, earning 24,000 USDT. That was when I first realized — “stability” is the key to compound growth; “aggression” only accelerates explosions.
The third trade was even more critical. When BTC surged to 102,000, I wasn’t scared. Instead, I spotted a trick on the chain — a net outflow of up to 180 million USDT, clearly a manipulation to lure traders. I placed orders in advance, riding from 102,000 down to 96,000, and within three days, my account skyrocketed to 30,000 USDT.
**The Truth from 7,000 to 600,000**
Looking back now, there’s no magic involved. I simply locked in 10% of my position completely, automated stop-loss and take-profit, and closed my computer immediately after each trade. Missing out on a surge? No problem — holding no position became the norm. Futures are not an automatic ATM; they are a mirror — reflecting how afraid you are to lose, and how ruthless you can be.
Those who survive and even make money in the crypto world are always the ones who first attack themselves. Focus on core assets like BTC, ETH, SOL, BNB, and give yourself 3-5 clear signals daily for spot and futures trading, building your own system — saying goodbye to losses, keeping pace, and cycling profits, all essential.
In the crypto circle, survival depends not on luck.

The tape wrapping around the mouse is really brilliant, haha... But I think the key is still that line "Stability is the key to compound interest," it's so spot on.

The trick of wrapping tape around the mouse... buddy really understood it. Much more reliable than those signal-boosting accounts, at least admitting that the enemy is their own hand.

Taping the mouse like this, I need to learn it. But to be honest, flipping a 7000U to 600,000... this data is a bit questionable?

Taping the mouse with tape is a genius move, more effective than a psychologist... But going from 7,000 to 600,000, we all know how much of this is hype.

Taping the mouse with tape is genius... I really want to try it too, but I'm afraid I can't control that hand.
