Looking back at these two ETH trades, I feel deeply moved. One long position opened at 2460.25 and closed at 2498.65, with 100x full leverage, gaining +137.97%. The other, I anticipated a turning point early and opened a short at 2593.71. The market stubbornly pushed up, so I painfully exited at 2717.26, losing -480.92%. The heaviest lesson since I entered the market. Trump was right: on the long road of life, you’ll find many unfair things. Trading is the same. The market won’t move according to my predictions or positions. Even if 90% of previous trades were profitable, just one countertrend hold can wipe out all accumulated profits. Market unfairness is the norm. Spotting trends and catching moves is luck plus thought. But the market can always take an unexpected step, and that must be accepted. Profits come from opportunities the market offers. That loss was because I was too eager to catch a turning point and pulled the trigger before the signal appeared. High win rate doesn’t mean you won’t take heavy hits. Even if 90 trades are all winners, one time of losing control over position size and leverage can be disastrous. When you really can’t hold on, complaining about the market is pointless. You can only lower your head and keep fighting, fighting, fighting. Never give up. But fighting doesn’t mean stubbornly holding on. Remember this pain: liking a trade doesn’t mean entering immediately; anticipation isn’t a reason to open a position. Don’t shoot all your bullets before the signal comes. All gains come with risks. To survive long-term, it’s not about winning every trade, but living through the unfair volatility.
