That crash made me question something for the first time — not the market, but why I always die halfway up the mountain

During that brutal month when BTC dumped from 120K all the way to 80K,
I sat in front of my screen watching my life get sliced apart tick by tick. At 105K, I still had hope. At 100K, my heart went cold. At 90K, 85K, and finally 80K… I was so numb I almost laughed. Across different exchanges, my positions weren’t even related — yet they all got liquidated around –60%, like they rehearsed it together.

At that moment, a sharp thought hit me: These years… maybe I wasn’t losing because of bad judgment, but because the platforms were pushing me off the cliff before the market ever did.

The market is cruel, yes — but what truly crushed me was a liquidation mechanism that doesn’t even let you wait for a rebound.

That night, for the first time, I understood: Liquidation isn’t destiny — it’s a mechanism problem.

I only realized I was fighting on the wrong battlefield when I heard: “SunX has a fixed 10% risk rate.”

After that crash, as BTC hovered around 80K, I didn’t dare open a single position. A veteran friend couldn’t watch anymore. He said one sentence: “Try SunX. The risk rate is fixed at 10%. You only get liquidated when you’re down close to –90%.”

I froze. Most exchanges use tiered margin, meaning the lower the price goes, the heavier your burden becomes — the harder it is to survive. But SunX did the opposite. It gave your position another life — not encouraging reckless trading, but giving your strategy room to breathe. For the first time, I felt trading didn’t have to be suffocating.

As I researched SunX, I realized how different it was:

• They upgraded their matching engine to millisecond-level execution.
• Order book depth was solid — no random wick spikes during volatility.
• They even offer slippage compensation for non-user reasons (up to 5 times/month, just message support).
• And with 200× leverage, Perpetual Futures, European Options, quant strategy bots, and a clean UI…

I thought: “Okay… this platform actually wants you to trade properly.”

My first trade on SunX — I wasn’t afraid of drawdown anymore. When BTC returned to 90K, I almost teared up.

I opened a BTC long at 83K. The market chopped violently again. My position went deep into the red. But for the first time, I didn’t suffocate. Because I knew: I wouldn’t be force-liquidated at –60% anymore. That sense of safety wasn’t as exciting as profit — but it was more important.

It was the feeling of: “I can wait. I can adjust. I can survive to the next candle.”

Two weeks later, BTC moved from 82K → 86K → 88K → and then one decisive candle pushed it back above 90K. I stared at the screen for several seconds. Not because of profit — but because I suddenly realized: If I had been on my old exchanges, I would’ve been dead long before this rebound. All my strategies, my patience, my correct judgment —
would’ve died at that same –60% tombstone.

My nose stung. Not from money — but because this was the first time I truly experienced the meaning of survival. SunX’s fixed 10% risk rate doesn’t make you gamble harder —
it prevents the market noise from burying your future. For someone who has been force-liquidated for years, this is worth far more than short-term gains.

The more I used SunX, the more I realized:

Its core strength isn’t features — it’s the underlying logic designed not to betray you.

SunX’s “stability” isn’t a slogan. Their self-developed matching system is different:
orders Fill instantly, no 1-second delays, no “thinking…” spinning wheel. Even during extreme volatility, there are no random wick spikes pretending nothing happened afterward.

The slippage compensation actually works — support processes it, and it arrives within 3 business days. My jaw literally dropped. This kind of thing is a museum-tier feature in crypto. Then add the 200× leverage, the derivatives matrix (Perpetual Futures, European Options, Quant Strategies, Copy-Trading), and a clean, noise-free interface…

For the first time, I felt: “This is a platform built to help traders survive — not to harvest them.”

Why did I ultimately move my main account to SunX?

I thought about it a long time. The answer is simple: I don’t need a platform that sends me to the moon. I need a platform that doesn’t throw me off the boat during a crash. SunX gives me confidence — the kind where even if I lose, I know I lost to the market, not to the system. If I pick the wrong direction, at least I know the death is my fault — not because of a liquidation mechanism designed to kill me early. That sense of survival, is a hundred times more important than short-term profits.

The market will always be wild —

But you should at least stand somewhere that won’t stab you in the back. BTC is testing 90K again. I don’t know if it will run to 100K or fall back to 80K. But I know one thing: I’ve stopped being that person, who’s too afraid to open a position, because the system might kill me early.

The market will continue to shock, crash, pump, and scare — but if you stand on a platform
that lets you live, you can survive until the next opportunity.

For me, that platform is SunX. It isn’t magic. It isn’t a miracle. It’s simply a place that won’t stab you during a crash, won’t betray you during a liquidation, and won’t cut you down when you’re already hurting.

And in this industry, a platform like that is rarer than a bull market.
