At the beginning of the year, I chased a high and got caught. That feeling was really unpleasant. After some painful reflection, I set a few strict rules for myself: no single position should exceed 5% of the account, and every trade must have a set take profit and stop loss—easy to say, but hard to stick to.

But the real turning point was here. Every time a major fluctuation came later, this discipline saved me. I didn't lose the principal; instead, I gradually recovered losses through a rhythm of accumulating at lows and selling at highs, even making extra profit. Using exchange depth charts and stop loss/take profit order tools, my execution efficiency skyrocketed.

Another unexpected gain was that I started to seriously research projects like Launchpool and Megadrop, and I managed to find a few 10x opportunities. Honestly, it’s not some secret skill; it’s just about removing emotion from the driver’s seat and letting the system and discipline take over.

The biggest takeaway after a year is actually four words: don’t trust intuition. Turning trading into a repeatable process is more effective than anything else. I hope everyone can maintain this patience into 2025.
