43,000 U lost to 3,000 U in despair, how did he climb back?
This fan saved money from his physical business, and at the end of last year, he entered the cryptocurrency circle and was repeatedly harvested — emotional trading, frequent margin calls, chasing highs and cutting losses, which drained two years of profits to just a fraction. At his worst, he wanted to delete the app every day as soon as he opened his eyes, but his hand couldn't help but click on the market, making him feel as if he were possessed.
In March of this year, he found me, and I said that to turn things around, he had to first forget the obsession with "breaking even."
Phase One: Only trade in strong trends on 1-hour or higher timeframes, keeping position size below 50%, rolling from 3,000 U to 5,500 U in 10 days;
Phase Two: During the ETH rise from 1,800 to 2,400, take profits in batches, stabilizing the account at 12,000 U in one month;
Phase Three: Waited 9 days with no positions until BTC broke through a key structure before taking action, capturing three segments of the market in 43 days, and finally bringing the account back to 44,600 U.
He was silent for a long time before sending a message saying "I want to cry." I understood — this was not just moving, but the shock of a person who had been knocked down by the market finally standing up again through discipline. Now he understands: trading is not about luck, but about establishing order amidst chaos. Those who are still randomly opening positions will eventually understand this principle, but by the time most people do, their accounts will have already gone to zero.
