A while ago, a brother came to me and said that the ETH market has been too volatile recently, and his account only has 2000U left.
He wasn't inexperienced, but his trading relied mainly on feelings, chasing highs and cutting losses, and when emotions got the better of him, he lost two to three thousand in a day, and his account was a mess.
He told me: "If I don't turn this around soon, I plan to quit this circle."
I looked at him, smiled, and said: "That 2000U is not for doubling; it’s for laying the foundation for your future."
Do you think turning around can rely on a single explosive move? You are very wrong.
Turning around isn’t about 'taking a gamble'; it’s about being steady, having patience, and accumulating little by little.
So I told him how to handle this situation:
First, you must learn to stay calm! Don’t act rashly.
In the past, whenever he looked at the market, he wanted to jump in, chasing highs and cutting losses, resulting in 'buying high and selling low.'
I told him: "When the market hasn't stabilized, just stay calm and stay out of the market." Don’t rush in if it doesn’t rise, and don’t rush in if it doesn’t fall.
Next, you need to control your position.
Each time he trades, he should only invest a maximum of 400U to keep the risk manageable. He used to lose 2000 in a day, but now he can steadily make 300 or 500.
Set stop-loss for every trade; don’t be afraid of losses, but be afraid of holding on until the end.
Finally, you must learn to review your trades and adjust your thinking.
At first, he was a bit skeptical: "Is it possible to turn this around so slowly?"
I told him: "Slow is the most stable."
After every trade, no matter whether he made a profit or a loss, he would take time to review and reflect on what he did right and what he did wrong.
Gradually, his trading mindset became clearer, and his mentality became steadier.
Two months later, he went from 2000U to 90,000U. It wasn’t by luck or a single explosive move, but by following a rhythm, maintaining discipline, and steadily accumulating.
You might also have a few thousand U left now, feeling a bit discouraged, thinking that the market is too difficult.
But I tell you, turning around isn’t something that happens overnight; it’s about taking one step at a time, enduring loneliness, and maintaining discipline.
There are many opportunities to turn things around; the market lacks opportunities, but what it lacks is someone who can stick to the rules and control their emotions.
What you need to do is not rush for success but patiently execute your plan. Your trading mindset is very important; we’re not afraid of being slow, we’re just afraid of you giving up.
The next wave of market movement is right in front of you, and I hope you don’t miss the opportunity again!
