ac陨落修炼中

$KORU Do a half-year summary, and also show my losses.
In the first half of 2026, I lost 1.4wu on contract trading, and 6ku on event contracts; together that’s 2wu.
The losses mainly happened in February. At that time I went long Ethereum around 2250 and held on without stopping the loss. I happened to have a bit of extra money on hand, and as a result I lost almost 2wu within just 3 days. It drove me into hell in one go.
In March, I actually managed my first non-loss month since September 2024—maybe I made a few hundred u.
Back then, I thought it was the turning point where things would take off. I didn’t expect April and May to keep losing.
In June, the first 20 days were also losses all the way; only in the last 10 days did I start making some money.
In June, I only earned a bit more than 3000, which barely wasn’t enough to fill the holes from April and May.
My worst was actually June. At the time I had to pay back my Huabei of 8400, and I simply had no money left. I called to negotiate an extension on the repayment, but it didn’t work. I spent more than an hour on the call. Then friends and classmates kept asking me to borrow money—really, I had no shame. In the end, I didn’t borrow a single cent. After that, I was directly overdue. After becoming overdue, the collections calls came in several times a day. I originally thought I’d just give up. Later, for various reasons, I finally found an excuse and asked my dad for 30,000 yuan to repay the loan. Then, slowly, in the final 10 days I made a little money.
Throughout all of June, I slept less than 4 hours every night, and I kept staying up until 2 or 3 a.m. every day before I could fall asleep.
My family is an ordinary one—my parents are farmers. Even now I still can’t figure out how last year I could treat money so casually. No wonder everyone says gamblers don’t end up well. I truly feel like I deserve it—ten thousand times over.
The only reason I keep persisting in the crypto world is because there’s no way back anymore.

I hope my story can warn everyone: lucky people are ultimately very rare. Earning dozens of u every day is already better than 90% of ordinary office workers.

Also, I hope I can steady myself in the second half of the year, make money slowly, and pay off my debts.

If you want to scold me, you can just scold me directly—but don’t involve my family. I really should be scolded.

$SNDK This round didn’t bottom out at the lowest point, but it’s pretty much about the same.
I stayed up all night last night, falling asleep around 3 a.m. in a daze, then waking up around 5 a.m., and dozing off again, until after 7 a.m. when I finally couldn’t sleep at all. When I woke up, I saw that SanDisk’s high had reached 2273, while my stop-loss was at 2298.
This was purely luck.
What I need to reflect on is that the position size for this trade was still too big. I opened 10 at 2104. I only had a little over 3000 in capital. Then I added 5 at 2206, added 5 at 2228, and at 2239 I went all-in with another 5, bringing the total position size to about 12–15x leverage.
If I’d only sized down a bit and opened, say, 5x instead, I definitely wouldn’t have had to endure sleeplessness through the night.
Of course, it’s also because later I lost over 900 in total from some other “clones” and Micron, which increased the risk.
This morning, because there was no “空beat” I had to deal with, I temporarily added 1000u as margin.
In the past few days, some brothers have seen that I seem to have made quite a bit (one trade making 500 or 1000u is something I didn’t even dare to think about before), but if I think it through carefully, most of it is just luck. If anything had gone wrong in the middle, I would’ve been wiped out.
Looking back at 6.24 and 6.25 over two days, I directly lost 6000u. This week plus looks like I earned more, but in reality it was only just getting back the losses—profits aren’t much.
Not to mention that across several accounts I’m still down about 18u overall.
I lost 2u in the first half of the year.
Mainly, in 2025 I lost more than a hundred.
And I’m unemployed now.
I’ve got a bunch of loans and a bunch of debts.
My current life is a total mess.
These past few days, the profits are at least allowing me to breathe a bit.
Today is 7.1, and it’s also the first day of the second half of 2026.
I hope that going forward I can keep the same mindset and luck, keep making profits.
The road to getting back to even is long.
You and I, let’s encourage each other.

$SNDK Does it mean we can pump the market even on weekends?

$HEMI Are you trying to get back at me? I just joined and it already dropped. Forget it—forget it, I’m not playing with you anymore.

$HEMI It was too harsh to call back in the morning; even so, the entry points weren’t right—what a pity

$AKE I don’t know what to say. AKE loses money every time you do it once.
I took a look—Alpha’s coin only works for going long, because there’s almost no liquidity.
This AKE has a market cap of 240 million, but the pool is only a little over 2 million. You can’t even dump it enough to crash it—you’re basically dealing with a pure manipulation coin.
Nobody even knows how long they’ll keep pumping.
The maker has almost no costs either; it’s just wash trading with both sides.

$AKE and a bank are on the same side; I didn’t expect AKE to be this tough—it's on par with LAB.

$APR Is it sick or what? The more there is, the it falls; the emptier, the it rises

$CYS What does it mean? Is it all just deadlifts, and if it doesn’t sell we’re back to zero?

$BTW 5 ten million more long positions. Total open positions 70 million

$BTW That’s all I have—am I still being set up?

$CYS Yesterday baited shorts, today baited longs, stupid counterfeit, burn paper money for the dog fund house, damn it, it pisses me off.
Watch the beauty calm down

$BTW is driving me crazy, damn it

$CYS You TMD? What's going on

$CYS So strange—I cut my losses, and the drop has been so smooth. Is it just because of my little few coins?

$APR Unfortunately, a really regrettable trade. I was bullish, but because I kept staring at the chart, I didn’t hold on. I sold at 9.48, and then it surged to 9.49—I’m even wondering if I’m being monitored.
But it’s only a 5,000 position size; it shouldn’t be that serious, right? Forget it. I’ll take a good break today. After such a huge loss, I’ll rest for a bit and then fight on again.

$CYS In recent days, the largest single-trade loss. Yesterday the unrealized profit reached 1500 and I didn’t exit.
I need to reflect on this trade.
One is to pay more attention to the long/short ratio; we won’t short anything abnormal.
Second, if the unrealized profit exceeds 10%, we should cut back the position, then open a breakeven/zero-profit hedge.
Third, with altcoins we should reduce position size—no more than 2000; the maximum unrealized loss should be 20%. There must be a programmatic stop-loss; we won’t consider the subsequent price action.
For this trade, I’ll spend half a month seeing if I can recover it.

$CYS 典型的强庄币，参考btw。不论多空，参与都没有意义

$CYS I checked the chips and it looks like a lot of people who got trapped on August 5 haven’t blown up yet. Their positions are from 8.5 onward. The long/short ratio changed from 6:4 to 2.7:7.3.
Still not enough experience. After yesterday’s drop, the long/short ratio didn’t change noticeably. In fact, we shouldn’t have shorted. I guess we really are going to hit new highs. Tough. When does that dog-style dealer die? I’m going to burn paper offerings.

$CYS If this long-short ratio doesn’t turn into 1:1, it’s impossible for it to go down
