Seeing the topic of #Gate广场新手村第五期 , I have mixed feelings. This sentence — "Stay sober in a bull run, stay calm in a Bear Market" — is now my motto, but three years ago when I first entered the market, it was a lesson I bought with real money.

My bull run "frenzy":
Do you remember the last bull run, watching the asset numbers soar every day, the feeling was like sitting on a rocket. My "strategy" at that time was no strategy: I chased whichever coin was rising fast, with FOMO (fear of missing out) driving all my actions. I jumped in at the peak, thinking I could double my investment, but then the market corrected, and I instantly lost more than half of my profits, even damaging my principal. It was then that I realized that being "sober" in a bull run means restraining greed, knowing when to take profits, and not putting all your eggs in one basket.

My Bear Market "Valley of Despair":
When the bear market arrives, the shrinkage of accounts brings not only financial losses but also a collapse of confidence. Looking at the full screen of red, I once wanted to "cut my losses" and leave, never to play again. But it was also during that most difficult time that I forced myself to calm down. I did three things:

1. Systematic Learning: No longer just relying on rumors, but starting to study white papers, understand technology, and learn position management.
2. Dollar-Cost Averaging: For the high-quality projects I am optimistic about, I start setting up weekly/monthly dollar-cost averaging, ignoring short-term fluctuations, and accumulating cheap chips.
3. Focus on the ecosystem: During the market lull, I take the time to study new projects on platforms like Gate to prepare for the next cycle.

This journey has made me realize that trading is not just about buying and selling, but a game with one's own human nature. The market is always fluctuating, but our knowledge and mindset can continue to grow. I am very fortunate to be able to learn continuously through various activities and information on the Gate platform, and I have also seen many valuable shares from members of the "Gate Family". This atmosphere of mutual growth is very rare.
