#MSCI未排除数字资产财库企业纳入范围 Losing 210,000 in one day and unable to sleep all night—this has been the darkest period of my trading career.

In the first few years of entering the circle, I was mostly contributing to the market. Every time I opened my trading software, it was a nightmare. Those nights, lying in bed, tossing and turning, struggling to breathe. At the most desperate moments, I couldn’t even bring myself to press the 60U stop-loss, and I would turn around and place trades impulsively—classic "desperate measures in a panic," resulting in losing more and more, and wanting to turn things around only to lose even more fiercely.

When my account dropped below 2000U, I finally let go. Not because I gave up, but because I understood a truth: this market has never been about luck.

What did I do next? Study the fundamentals. Not some advanced candlestick techniques, but the simplest questions:

How to manage position sizes? What truly constitutes a trend opportunity? Which market conditions can I participate in, and which ones must I wait for? How to treat risk control as if it were my life, just like professional traders?

I spent a month transforming my entire trading system. No more full positions, no more reckless moves, no more gambling on luck.

In the following three months, I used a minimalist model to push my account from 1800U to nearly 60,000U. Now, my daily routine starts with earning at least 1000U, and during favorable market conditions, I can easily surpass 3000U. The most valuable thing is—I can finally sleep peacefully.

In my circle, there are those who have recovered from losses of tens of thousands by adjusting their mindset, and beginners who patiently roll their positions with three-figure amounts. Their common point is: take it seriously and be willing to listen.

No matter what stage you are at now, making money has never been about luck, but about whether you have found the right method. Going it alone will eventually lead to trouble; having someone guide you can indeed help you avoid detours.

It's the same old story... Why is it that those who truly make money are so low-key?

210,000 lost in one day? Oh no, this is the consequence of not understanding stop-loss, caught in the crossfire.

210,000 gone, this feeling is indeed tough... But being able to turn 2000U into 60,000 later on shows that there's definitely something to it, indicating that it's really a matter of mindset and strategy.

Oh, it's the same old script again, I see it every day. Nice words, but actually just want to sell courses.

Ha, it's that same story of "turning things around in a month" again. I'm a bit tired of hearing it. From losing 210,000 to consistently earning $3,000 per month... those numbers are incredible. What a coincidence. And that last sentence, "Someone guiding the way can help you avoid detours"—wait, are you trying to recommend something? The part about not being able to set stop-losses was written pretty well; it really hits home. What's the relationship between the MSCI headline and the main text? It feels a bit like riding the coattails of trending topics.

Another story of "realizing the truth after hitting the bottom," just listen, only a few can truly survive. Account from 1800U to 60,000? I feel like I've heard this rhetoric a hundred times... Can't bear to cut losses at 60U, I understand this psychological torment, but the hype afterward is a bit overwhelming. So ultimately, it's the old story of position management, nothing new. If it were really stable and earning 1000U, there wouldn't be a need to tell stories here; I would have already given up.

It's the same story of "I lost hundreds of thousands and then had an epiphany" that I've heard too many times haha. But honestly, I can't bring myself to cut losses during those moments, and that really hits home. Many people have gone through the same.

It's the same story of "I turned losses into gains" again... Bro, I've heard this spiel too many times. People who truly sleep well at night don't bother explaining themselves like this. Losing 210,000 in one shot and still being able to summarize it so clearly shows that it didn't really hit them to the core.

I also experienced the 210,000 once, and it really can drive people into depression. But to be honest, this "minimalist model" sounds too amazing, kind of like a post-hoc armchair strategist.
