This method helped a friend turn 4,200 USD into 137,000 USD. More importantly, it gave him the courage to face the candlestick chart again. Honestly, I'm no expert; I'm just a survivor who crawled out from countless liquidations. In the first half of 2024, I lost everything — 900,000 principal evaporated. Every day I chased the market up and down, buying the dips when I saw a rebound, and my account bounced around with my emotions, leaving me with only 4,200 USD. It was only when I stared blankly at that number that I understood: blindly making mistakes would only exhaust my last bit of capital, and I needed a different approach.

I deleted all the cryptocurrencies from my watchlist, leaving only BTC and ETH, and wrote three strict rules in my notebook, forcing myself to start over:

1. Only trade in the direction of the trend, avoiding consolidation, reversals, and oversold rebounds.

2. Do not exceed 20% position size when opening a trade, with a strict 3% stop loss, and do not manually adjust automatic closing orders.

3. Dare to add to winning positions (increase by 5% for every 10% gain), but never average down on losing trades; cut losses directly at the stop loss.

Progress was slow at first; I earned 1,800 USD in the first week without any pullback. In the second week, ETH broke through its range, and after adding to my position, my profits doubled to 9,700 USD. In the third week, I captured two main upward moves in BTC, and my account broke 30,000 USD.

By day 28, my total funds reached 137,000 USD, with net profits increasing 30 times. Throughout the process, I never joined a signal group or believed in any insider information; I relied solely on position control, timing, and focusing on technical levels to proceed step by step.

Some people ask if I’m good at reading candlestick charts, but I only focus on one thing: the money in my account is a one-time opportunity. Treat the account funds as your last chance; before opening a trade, always think, "Can I still play after losing 3%?" If yes, then I dare to act.

Turning things around is never about luck, and it’s definitely not about gambling. Too many people are still trying to double their money through aggressive averaging down, without considering: what if they are wrong? I have been through the worst phases and know the numbness that comes from watching an account shrink. I don’t want anyone to be trapped in the vicious cycle of "wanting to turn things around but only losing more".

If you currently have only a little principal left, don’t panic, but do stay steady. The market is never short of opportunities; what it lacks is people who can preserve their capital until those opportunities arise. In this industry, what you lack is not effort, but a set of rules that can help you survive steadily.
