Mindset Breakdown#
Recently, I've been silent on Twitter, not updating my status, and many may have guessed the reason. Since the loss of $300,000 with TST, only $50,000 remains. I managed to rebuild to around $140,000 through PVP operations, but then lost $100,000 during the alpaca wave, returning to square one. Two consecutive years of losses (with a loss of $600,000 in 2024) have trapped my crypto operations in a vicious cycle: investment losses lead to a breakdown in mindset, emotional decay triggers anxiety, which in turn leads to worse decisions and exacerbated losses. This post is not a complaint but a serious reflection on the root causes, forcing myself to break free from the quagmire.
Review of Operations#
Looking back at this loss experience, it seems on the surface to be due to market fluctuations and bad luck, but digging deeper, I must admit that personal issues are predominant. My operations were completely unplanned, often based on intuition without setting stop-loss points, like a headless chicken. With even slight market fluctuations, I would stop-loss and chase highs and lows, losing track of my losses. After losing, emotional trading intensified; in a rush to recover, I blindly followed trends, chased popular projects, and heavily invested based on "insider" information, resulting in more chaos and deeper losses, completely driven by emotions.
The hardest part is that repeated losses have led to self-doubt. From initially being able to bounce back quickly, I became numb to losses and began to question whether I was being eliminated by the market, feeling unfit for investing. In endless self-blame, I fell into a state of decay, spending my days watching videos, playing games, and going out for fun, using dopamine to temporarily numb myself, unwilling to review my losses, thinking "If I lose, I lose; after all, it's just one life," resulting in even more uncontrollable losses.
One wrong step leads to another, and to this day, I still can't let it go. In the quiet of the night, I often think back to the countless big opportunities I missed.
After years of aimlessness in the crypto world, I have yet to achieve significant results.
What to do now? To be honest, I've started to give up on myself, completely falling into decay.
As I write this, I realize I can't continue like this. Short-term losses are not scary; what’s scary is being trapped in this state. I must pick myself up, redefine myself, and start anew!
This post marks my new starting point and is a commitment to myself. I no longer want to be held hostage by losses and decay; I need to take responsibility for myself. Investing is a long-distance race, and emotions and mindset are the gear; I must repair the gear first to run further.
If you are also experiencing a similar low point, I hope we can work together to overcome the difficulties. If you have successfully turned things around, please share your experiences and advice; I would greatly appreciate it!
Possible Issues#
- Is my position too heavy? The market is not short of opportunities; there’s no need to heavily invest in a single trade, and high leverage has little margin for error.
- Reflecting on the two major operations with alpaca and TST, should I consider a different approach and try to find opportunities in less crowded areas?
Lessons Learned#
- Reduce leverage and trading frequency; take profits when available. Initially, I would deliberately limit the number of trades, but now I no longer impose restrictions; trading feels like an annual opportunity. Full positions and no stop-loss have become the norm, but holding onto positions feels like dying once.
- Continue to study alpha and find a suitable track for myself.
- Position management is crucial; gradually accumulate by taking profits, which feels much better.
