When I first entered the cryptocurrency world, I also experienced moments that completely shattered me, making me question my life. At that time, there was less than 5000U left in my account, and I had lost 200,000 in principal. Many people thought I would exit the market, but I refused to accept that; I wouldn't give up, nor did I believe in fate.
Those days felt like a nightmare. Continuous liquidations and frequent losses caused both my skills and mindset to collapse, and it seemed like even luck had been drained by the market. On the day when my account dropped to 5000U, I didn't even dare to open the trading software; my hands were shaking, my mind buzzed, and I didn't even have the courage to place the next order.
Some people say that cryptocurrency is all about luck, and I laughed—at the moment when I lost all my capital, luck was no longer on your side.
I decided to take a three-day break, shut down all trading software, block group chats, and mute market notifications, going out for a few laps to pull myself out of the emotional state of “having to turn things around immediately.” When I returned, I set three principles for myself: no gambling, no greed, no chasing.
For my first order, I only used 20% of my position to make a trend-following order on ETH at the hourly level, setting a take-profit point in advance, and I would not increase my position regardless of how much it fluctuated in between. This order steadily increased my 5000U to 6300U. It wasn't much, but that feeling of “finally stopping the decline” was more important than profit—I knew I was on the right track.
For every subsequent order, I strictly executed risk control, only making trend-following orders, only engaging with market movements I understood, avoiding guessing tops, not trying to catch bottoms, and steering clear of emotional trades. I immediately transferred any profits to a cold wallet, forcing myself to “take the profit and leave,” no longer fantasizing about the so-called “next order doubling my money.”
In 27 days, I steadily rolled my 5000U to 23000, and then in just one week, I surged through 200000. Although there were drawdowns and losing trades along the way, I avoided any liquidations, relying solely on rhythm, position control, and execution.
In fact, the method is not complicated; the hard part is whether you can resist temptation, control your hands, and stabilize your heart, achieving “making decisions for yourself and bearing the consequences.”
Looking back, losing that 200000 turned out to be a good thing; it taught me how to truly make money and roll over in the cryptocurrency world. Nowadays, many people panic at the first sign of liquidation, and when they miss out, they experience FOMO, getting deeper and deeper into trouble—one wrong step leads to another.
Turning 5000U back into 200000 relies not on faith, but on method—you must be able to pause and see clearly whether you are gambling or trading. By maintaining rhythm and strict execution, you have the chance to turn losses into capital for recovery.
