How to Recover Losses — Step by Step (Spot Focus)
There’s no truly “risk-free” trade. But you can reduce risk sharply with strict rules.
1) Pause & Reset
Stop trading for a moment, breathe, and reset your plan.Promise yourself: no leverage/futures during recovery.
2) Trade Type & Targets
Spot only.Aim small: take profit at +4–5% and exit.Max 2 trades per day. More than that usually becomes emotional.
3) Risk Controls (non-negotiable)
Always place SL & TP when entering.Suggested structure: TP +4–5% / SL −2–3% (keep at least ~1.5:1 reward:risk).Set a daily loss limit (e.g., −2%). If hit, stop for the day.
4) Investor Mindset for Recovery
Think like an investor while trading: build back slowly.Choose coins with good volume/volatility, scalp within a limited window.Don’t chase; buy only at your planned levels.
5) Compounding the Right Way
Each time you book profit, add 60–70% back to your capital.Use the remaining 30–40% as a small mental reward—this keeps emotions calm.
6) Emotion Management
No revenge trades, no FOMO.If you feel emotional, walk away. Your patience protects your capital.
7) Start Small, Win Small, Repeat
Restart from the beginning: small profits, consistently.Over days and weeks, the discipline—not big bets—recovers the loss.
