Annual account review revealed an interesting phenomenon—accounts with a profit of over 400,000 USDT rank only 67%, while accounts with only 120,000 USDT still lack 50% competitiveness. Even more heartbreaking, the spot trading lost around 100,000 USD, and ironically, many people say spot trading is very safe.

After experiencing this wave of market, I finally understand that the principle of "slow is fast" is true. It's not about trading speed, but about reverence for position sizing. Many times, accounts that earn more do so because they manage risk properly; precise position management can better withstand market cycles than aggressive heavy positions. The 2025 market cycle has proven one thing with real money: choosing the right direction is just the foundation; managing risk is the real moat.

According to data, the logic behind the 67% quantile difference is actually quite intriguing—an actual loss of around ten thousand in spot trading just verifies the boundaries of traditional risk management theories when applied to the crypto market. It can be analyzed from three dimensions: position respect > direction choice > trading frequency. Many aggressive accounts tend to lose not due to timing but because of irrational accumulation of leverage. The on-chain data from this wave of market movement has already made it clear—low-volatility strategies' Sharpe ratio indeed outperforms high-frequency heavy positions. The detailed analysis is as follows: a risk warning, the concept of "insurance" in spot trading itself is a fallacy.

Spot trading is a scam, those who talk about insurance haven't experienced a margin call. --- Only 670,000 yuan is 67%, this data is a bit brutal, indicating many big players. --- Position management is really the ceiling; it's not about how much you earn, but how long you can survive. --- Putting tens of thousands into spot trading must be really painful, I’ve been through the same. --- Slow is fast, this saying is harsh, but indeed, choosing the right direction still requires staying alive. --- By the way, how is this 67% calculated? The data feels quite competitive. --- Risk control is the moat, I totally agree with that; aggressive accounts would have been wiped out long ago. --- "Insurance" in spot trading, laughable, they just haven't lost money yet. --- Earning over 400,000 yuan and only ranking 67%, the market competitiveness is a bit scary. --- Using money in 2025 taught me a lesson; next time, I’ll go all-in and curse.

Spot trading with around 100,000 gone, hilarious, this is what "insurance" is haha Over 400,000 ranking 67% is also outrageous, indicating that this round is really competitive I believe in position management; heavy positions are fun, but getting back to break-even is difficult
