Some say that losing everything in the crypto world means you are done for. I once believed this—last year, due to a series of operations, a capital of 2 million went to zero overnight, with family blame and friends' ridicule piercing my heart like needles; during that time, I didn't even dare to open the trading software.
But deep down, I don't believe in fate. The most fascinating part of the crypto world is that even with only a breath of capital left, there is still a chance for a comeback. When there was only 4000U left in my account, I became calm: this time I won't gamble on luck, only trust in discipline.
1. The core of flipping the situation: rolling positions + dividing positions; being extremely simple leads to huge profits.
While others rely on technical indicators to chase highs and cut losses, I only use the most basic 'two-step strategy,' yet I rolled my 4000U back to over 2 million in 78 days.
1. Dividing positions: cut 4000U into 10 parts, only move 1 part at a time.
At the beginning, I set a strict red line for myself: divide 4000U into 10 parts, each part 400U. No matter how tempting the market is, I will never open a single order that exceeds 1 part.
When it drops, add 1 unit for every 8% drop (up to 3 times) to avoid emotional overtrading.
When it rises, sell 1 unit for every 10% increase, first pulling back the principal and using profits to speculate.
For example: buying a coin at 400U, it drops to 368U (an 8% drop), I add 400U, reducing the cost to 384U; when it rises to 440U (a 10% increase), I sell the corresponding position of 400U. At this point, the principal has been recovered, so I won't feel bad even if the remaining chips drop to zero.
2. Rolling positions: profits generate profits, the principal never moves.
Every time I make a profit, the first thing I do is not to increase my position, but to move the principal to a cold wallet and lock it up. For example, if I start with 400U and earn 40U, I will transfer the 400U away and only use the 40U to continue trading.
First week: 4000U → 5200U (lock 4000U, use 1200U to roll).
Third week: 1200U → 3000U (lock 1200U, use 1800U to roll).
Fifth week: 1800U → 15,000U (lock 10,000, use 5,000U to roll).
It's like rolling a snowball, the principal is always a cushion, and the profits keep growing. Even if I incur a loss on a certain trade, it won't hurt the foundation.
2. Avoid the pitfalls that 95% of people fall into: only trade in the 'middle segment', do not touch the tops and bottoms.
Only those who have experienced liquidation understand: catching the bottom and escaping the top are the most tempting traps. I set a strict rule—only trade in the mid-section of trends, do not guess the tops and bottoms.
1. Do not catch the bottom: wait for the 'stop-loss signal' before acting.
Never touch it when it drops, no matter how cheap it seems; you must see 'two consecutive bullish candles standing above the 10-day moving average' before entering. For instance, when a coin dropped from 100U to 60U, no matter how cheap it looked, I resolutely did not buy until a stop-loss signal appeared. When BTC dropped to 25,000U in 2023, many were caught trying to catch the bottom; I waited until it stabilized at 30,000U before entering. Although I earned 20% less, I avoided the risk of continuous decline.
2. Do not escape the top: wait for the 'break signal' before exiting.
Never be greedy when it rises, but also do not rush to take profit. Only when the price falls below the 20-day moving average and the trading volume increases should you gradually liquidate. For example, when ETH rises from 1800U to 3000U, I do not act during the fluctuations until it breaks below the 20-day moving average of 2800U, at which point I sell in 3 parts, capturing the main upward wave while avoiding a sharp drop.
3. Trade less: at most two trades a day, do not engage in more.
In the past, I would open dozens of trades in a day, with fees exceeding profits. Now I stipulate: at most two trades a day, regardless of profit or loss, I stop. Even if I miss an opportunity, I will never break the rules. 90% of fluctuations in the crypto world are noise; true big opportunities occur at most 2-3 times a week, and resisting the urge to trade is far more important than anything else.
3. Others laugh at me for being foolish, I laugh at others for not seeing through.
A friend said I was lucky, but they didn't see:
I made only 1 trade every day for 21 consecutive days, not being greedy even when the market was good.
For a trade that made a 50% profit, I still sold half according to my discipline; I have no regrets even if the remaining part gets eaten up by a pullback.
To avoid emotional trading, I give my trading password to my family, and only let them unlock it at the scheduled time.
The secret to making money in the crypto world is never about being clever, but about being able to endure. 95% of people fail due to two things:
Wrong direction: chasing when it rises, cutting losses when it falls, always acting against the trend.
Chaotic positions: leveraging when making profits, going all in to recover losses when losing, ultimately being driven to extinction by the market.
I used the simplest method to avoid these two pitfalls—dividing positions to control risk, and rolling positions to let profits grow, only trading in markets I understand.
Lastly, let me say something from the heart.
Now the market is just right, and many people are eager to 'recover their losses'. But I want to say: the crypto world is not short of opportunities; what it lacks are people who can 'maintain discipline after losing everything'.
If you have also suffered heavy losses, you might try my simple method: divide the remaining money into 10 parts, only move 1 part at a time, and let profits roll in by themselves. Remember: what can save you is not the market, but the self that no longer acts impulsively.
Next time someone laughs at you for being 'too conservative', just tell them: in the crypto world, living long enough allows you to wait for the day to recover your losses.
