The losses at this point are already quite a lot. Even just single-coin Ethereum is down by four thousand. Even though I’m still holding on, the big BTC is also showing an unrealized loss of two thousand. This isn’t loss in just one account—I'm running multiple accounts at the same time. Using my own, my mom’s, and my sister’s ID cards to open them. And to have more positions, I even opened a copy-trading account so I could get more capacity to open trades, and that’s how I get the entry points to be so accurate.

I’ll see for now. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll cut two accounts—holding the other two for now. As for the rest, I’ll do short-term hedging. For now, that’s all I can do. Some losses still have to be recognized. In terms of the time horizon strategy, all my quantitative trading approach has turned out to be a complete waste—the profits I managed to earn have been spit out with interest. But honestly, my technical skills are really terrible. In my account, the copy-trading one only made about one thousand in a year. Now the profit is down to just one hundred dollars. If it goes up a bit more, it’ll turn into losses. And that was the profit I had from my 2025 full-year operations.

I can only wait and see how this plays out. If it keeps breaking upward, I’ll keep waiting for a moment of sharp drop, then choose to exit while taking some losses. For this account, I won’t open copy-trades again later. I plan to wait until the losses aren’t too much, then exit. I’ll see whether, after not opening trades for half a year, they can return any rebates. Otherwise, if there’s no rebate, I probably won’t be willing to keep operating.

I don’t know what the end of trading crypto is. There is definitely sadness. My skills are poor to begin with. Every time I flat out and cut small losses—saving a few tens, a few more—then it all gets wiped out immediately. I need to spend this time thinking about what this final outcome has actually brought me, and I must completely switch my trading strategy. I was doing extremely long-term trading, but I need to go in every day to open larger trades for short-term moves, and keep the account in cash when there’s no trade. When the market moves, then I open positions. I also need to think again about stop-loss rules. If you’re not very smart as an individual, the path you take can end up taking far more time than it does for others.
