The cold screen light shines on my face, as each candlestick ticks by. Over these nine years, I've seen too many markets shatter people's dreams back to reality. That night was no exception.
A bearish candle started as a slight drop on the 15-minute chart and turned into a four-hour crash. I watched it, not panicking, even feeling a bit amused. After holding on for so long, I've learned one thing—when everyone else is screaming, that's when you should make your move.
I decided to go the other way. Small position, stop loss set, slowing my breath.
At exactly 4 a.m., the price plunged like it was pricked by a needle, then—an explosive rebound. My order was filled right at the bottom, and in 15 minutes, it quadrupled. The coffee was long cold, but suddenly I was smiling.
A lot of people say contracts are gambling. That's wrong. Contracts are psychological warfare. It's about whether you can stay calm when the market goes crazy, whether you dare to crouch and wait when everyone else is chasing highs.
Liquidations, chasing orders, waking up to find your wealth evaporated—this isn't your problem, it's that you haven't figured out the rhythm of the market. $BTC $ETH $SOL, each one teaches you the same lesson.
Stick with it, and the market will show you what it's really like.

Still staying up late to watch the market after nine years, this mentality is truly remarkable. I only lasted three months before I started questioning life.

Quadruple at 4 a.m.? Dude, your psychological quality is really amazing, and I am still struggling with whether to close my position in the middle of the night

Is it really true that it quadrupled at 4 a.m., or is it just another made-up story after getting rekt?

Quadrupled at 4 a.m.? How lucky can this guy be? I tried to buy the dip in the middle of the night and ended up hitting the limit down. I’m still sleepwalking now.

At 4 a.m., I reversed and quadrupled my position. That's the difference between me and the liquidated retail traders.
