#数字资产市场动态 A Trader’s Half-Year Turnaround Record



After experiencing a devastating liquidation of 120,000 USDT last year, reducing the account to just 10,000 USDT and nearly breaking his spirit. But in just half a year, this trader not only stopped the bleeding and recovered his losses but also earned an additional 60,000 USDT. The logic behind this is worth pondering for all crypto enthusiasts.

Reviewing his trading history, the problems are clearly exposed: chasing highs and selling lows, emotional heavy positions, and holding onto losses. The key turning point was a thorough one-week review and pause—only analyzing losing trades. The results were shocking: 90% of the losses stemmed from two fatal flaws—impulsive trading and stop-losses being ineffective.

To address these issues, he set two inviolable bottom lines: a single trade loss not exceeding 5%, and a maximum daily loss of 10%. He also adjusted his trading approach, with a core shift to only position at key support and resistance levels for BTC and ETH, setting stop-losses 1.5% outside these critical points. An even more important step was to withdraw the principal immediately upon a 5% profit, then only trade with profits. This instantly minimized risk.

The third method was the real turning point—allocating 2000 USDT to diversify and position in three small-cap coins. But this wasn’t random shooting; the coin selection had strict standards: on-chain data showed large holders still holding positions, and exchange holdings of these coins were steadily decreasing (indicating an upcoming price rally). With these three strategies, he grew his 10,000 USDT to 180,000 USDT in six months.

Most collapses in the crypto world stem from one thought—rushing to recover losses. But those who survive in this market understand: sustained stability is a thousand times more valuable than short-term quick gains. Those who can control their impulses and embed strategy into their trading instincts, turning their fortunes around is only a matter of time.

This is the truth of the crypto market: it’s not about who makes money fastest, but who can survive the longest.

Really, the key is to stay alive. I've seen too many cases where the value multiplies tenfold in a week and then gets liquidated directly, but this guy instead calmly has 180,000... To put it simply, it's four words: control your hand.

To be honest, I've heard this logic too many times. The key is still in execution; most people simply can't do it.

Stop-loss is truly the key; watching him go from liquidation to a comeback makes it clear. The key is not how much you earn, but how long you survive.

Stop-loss is really a watershed moment. I used to hold on all the time, but now I strictly follow the 5% rule, and I feel much more comfortable living.

Basically, it's a mindset issue. Only disciplined people can truly survive.

Well said, stop-loss is truly the highest wisdom. I previously fell for this myself.
