Today, the account received a deposit of 470 bucks, and this feels even better than the previous unrealized gains of several thousand dollars.

How was I before? I used to open large positions, staring at a $1,200 unrealized profit without even blinking, always waiting for a $1,000 breakout before closing—only for the market to turn around, giving back all the profits and even exiting at a loss. There was only one thought in my mind: BTC must eat 3,000-4,000 points, and ETH at least 300 points to count as a win. Greed took over, I stubbornly held onto losing positions, and in the end, got completely liquidated.

I took a week off to cool down, and today I started again. I actually got excited when I made $35 on a trade—now that's how a normal person should react. My strategy has changed: take small profits steadily, cut losses quickly, and completely quit that suicidal Martingale position doubling.

My girlfriend took out 7,000 from her 13,000 and deposited it; I also quit my job, moving forward with debt on my back. Oh market, can you be a little kinder to me?

Debt repayment progress: 470/13000
