Ladies and gentlemen, I have to confess something—I went bankrupt.

Starting with an initial 27,000, I relied on a few good trades to grow it to 1.75 million, but within a few months, it was all gone. It wasn’t a margin call, it wasn’t technical issues, it was simply zeroed out. What’s even more heartbreaking is that this lesson shattered all my illusions about the market.

Why did this happen? Honestly, it’s not bad luck, nor was the market uncooperative. At the core, I was inflated with pride. Watching my account balance double repeatedly, I gradually abandoned the basic risk management principles, turning myself from an investor into a gambler living solely on adrenaline.

In the community, there are no shortages of stories of sudden wealth or tragic liquidations. But when this happens to yourself, from the peak to the bottom in an instant, the despair is unimaginable without firsthand experience. So I want to tell those still chasing their dreams: before you fantasize about 100x returns, you must first build a solid underlying asset base. This is not conservatism; it’s the fundamental rule for survival.

This 1.75 million tuition fee has made me seriously reflect—what is the truly effective way to outperform market fluctuations? It’s not about going all-in on a single bet, but about building an automated, continuously profitable system. Operating 24/7, no need to watch the charts all day, and it doesn’t rely on luck. Transitioning from "gambling" to "farming"—that’s the right path for long-term survival.

Real wealth accumulation isn’t about the gains from a single big gamble, but about the ability to steadily navigate through bull and bear markets.
