From 1250U to a turnaround of 23,000U: The blood and tears awakening of an old retail investor
I was once a gambler with bloodshot eyes staring at the charts, losing four to five W until my account was left with only 1250U, and even my brothers advised me to give up. But at the last moment, I decided to give myself one last chance to explain - this time it wasn't a gamble for my life, but truly trading with my brain.
I set strict rules: no chasing trades, no adding to positions on unrealized profits, no bottom fishing against the trend. For the first time, I used a 30-minute timeframe to trade ETH rebounds, taking a few dozen points and running. The moment 1250U turned into 1600U, I suddenly understood - it turns out you don't need to gamble big to make money.
Later, I rolled profits into profits, only trading in decreasing volume markets, and in just over 20 days, I surged to 23,000U. I had two major setbacks along the way, but with strict risk control, I didn’t even damage my principal. This method is actually simple, but 90% of people can't do it because they are always "working hard incorrectly": mistaking impulse for courage and luck for skill.
Now, looking at those who stubbornly endure losses, it's like seeing my former self. If you also find yourself trapped in the abyss, remember: turning around is not about miracles, but first stopping the flow of money, engraving the word "discipline" into your bones. If I had continued to mess around with that 1250U back then, it would have long gone to zero - and you still have time to change your way of living.
