After losing 1 million, I was truly on the verge of madness. LUNA went straight to zero, and my account dropped from a high point to the bottom overnight, leaving only 30,000 USDT. I sat in front of the screen for half an hour without moving, but it was at that moment that I decided to change my way of living, not seeking miraculous recovery, but just aiming to survive first.
I started playing with rolling positions, while others called it high risk, I insisted on it. After six months, I turned that 30,000 USDT into 1.57 million USDT, all relying on this mindset: never exceed 10% for the first trade. If I open with 3000 USDT and lose 150 USDT, I cut it. Whoever advises me to wait gets blocked. As soon as I make money, I withdraw the principal immediately and only roll with profits. This tactic is ruthless but incredibly useful, very stable.
You ask me how I flipped? During that round of ETH rebound, I rolled four waves. The first wave earned me 900 from 3000, then I added 1350 USDT to keep going, increasing the position all the way up, but I never rushed in blindly. Each time I increased my position, it was based on profits, not touching the principal. That way, even if things went south, it wouldn’t hurt too much. The key was the rhythm during the third position increase; if you miss it once, there’s no second chance.
Many people can’t turn things around not because they don’t know how to trade, but because they have the right direction but lack the courage to increase their position. When they make money, they panic; if it pulls back a little, they exit, resulting in profits never expanding. I’ve also learned to take profits smartly; previously, when FTX collapsed, I stood at 370,000 USDT and refused to leave, only to see it drop back to 120,000 in a day. That feeling was worse than a liquidation. Now, I only trust the rules: every time it rises by 15%, I move the stop loss up by 12%. The moment the trend breaks, I run without any fantasies.
I don’t talk about strategies or play with advanced techniques; I only believe in one thing: use profits to pursue more profits and use rules to protect the principal. Many people ask if this method can be learned, and I say yes, but you must be cold-blooded, not greedy, able to cut losses, push up positions, and hold onto trades. If you are still fantasizing about turning things around with the next trade while in losses, you will always be 'the next opponent in my liquidation.'
The crypto world never rewards emotional people; it only rewards those who execute effectively. You might currently be in the same state I was with my 30,000 USDT, but my current position might be where you can reach if you push a little harder.
