#数字资产市场动态 Half-Year Turnaround Story: A Perseverer's Path to Self-Rescue
I have a trader under my wing who has been navigating the crypto world for three years, from full of enthusiasm to nearly despair, with their account shrinking by one million.
For most people, they would have given up long ago—either risking everything in a Hail Mary attempt to turn things around or completely quitting and never touching it again.
He chose the third path. One day, he came to me and only said one sentence: I’ll listen to you, I’m serious this time.
From that day on, he truly followed the plan and persisted for a full six months.
How did he do it? The core principles are these—
**Number one rule is position control.** Divide the principal into ten parts for use, never risking more than 15% per trade, completely abandoning the idea of all-in bets. It sounds simple, but in practice, it’s the toughest test of human nature.
**Profit management is crucial.** Continue trading with the profits earned, while keeping the principal solid and unmoved. This forms the basis of compound growth and also helps withstand large drawdowns.
**Stop-loss is life-saving.** Set a 3% loss limit per trade; only if you stick to this can you hope to survive longer. Many people die because they can’t bear to cut losses.
**Timing is everything.** When the market moves, dare to act; if unsure, stay on the sidelines and hold cash. No matter how tempting, don’t force trades.
How has the market been over these six months? Up and down. You see some get wiped out due to greed, and others get trapped because of impatience.
And he has been moving forward step by step, without big ups and downs, without panic.
Yesterday, he came to me and said something that left a deep impression: I’ve recovered my capital. The account has climbed back from the bottom, and that one million loss has been fully recovered. He now plans to leave the market, feeling it’s too risky and that he has already achieved his goal.
Honestly, not many can crawl out of the pit of liquidation. What’s the secret? It’s execution and patience, along with the resolve not to be swayed by short-term fluctuations.
This market is like that—recklessly rushing alone will eventually lead to a crash; having guidance makes the journey steadier.

Really? Made back a million? How tough must this guy be to withstand the mental torment of that half-year... When it comes to position control, he's right, too many people can't do it, it's still greed that gets in the way.

Execution ability is truly a special skill; most people fail because they can't endure these two words.

Really, position control sounds simple in theory but is deadly in practice. I used to get stuck because I couldn't bear to cut losses, repeatedly comforting myself with "Just wait a bit longer, I'll break even," but the more I waited, the deeper I got. This guy can stick to it for half a year without going all-in; his mindset is truly strong.

Position control is really a lifesaver. I used to die gambling everything before, but now I can stick to the 15% red line haha.

Stop-loss is really the lifeline; many people die because they can't bear to take this step.

Really, the stop-loss line is the watershed; what you can't let go of has all become historical relics.
