From 3000U to 70,000U: A 'Coward' Trader's Comeback Journey
In the cryptocurrency market, there are many stories of sudden wealth, but very few can actually hold onto their profits. Most people don't lose to market volatility; they lose to their own greed and fear. Today, I will share how this trader turned 3000U into 70,000U in 60 days, not through luck or all-in bets, but by embedding 'survival first' into his trading rules.
1. Account Layering: Always Leave Yourself an Escape Route
When he entered the market with 3000U, the first thing he wanted to do was to go all in on BTC. I stopped him right away: 'Learn to lose first, then think about how much to earn.'
I had him divide his funds into three parts:
1000U in a cold wallet: absolutely untouched, this is the last resort; 1000U for trial and error: allowed to be completely lost, used to test strategies; 1000U as the main trading capital: only this portion can be used for formal trading.
With this distribution, even if he incurs continuous losses, his account won't be completely wiped out. The market always has opportunities, but the premise is that you need to survive.
2. Profit Locking: Let the Snowball Roll More Stably
Many people, after making money, want to increase their positions for greater returns, only to end up giving back their profits or even incurring losses. My second rule for him is: every trade that profits by 20%, immediately withdraw half into the cold wallet.
For example, if he makes 200U, he withdraws 100U, and the remaining 100U continues to roll. This approach has two benefits:
Locking in profits: the market is unpredictable, securing profits is the real gain; reducing risk: once profits turn into capital, the mindset becomes more stable, avoiding impulsive actions.
3. Cold-Blooded Execution: The More Crazy the Market, the Cooler You Must Be
Emotion is the biggest enemy in trading. One night when everyone was calling for shorts, he almost followed the trend to short, and I directly confronted him: 'They don't care if they blow up; if you blow up once, you're going home.' As a result, the next day the market reversed, and those who followed the trend suffered heavy losses, while his account remained safe.
Those who can truly win are often the most 'cowardly' ones in the market:
They don't dare to go all in, fearing that a single mistake will wipe out their account; they don't dare to chase the rise, fearing they will be the last to hit the stick; they don't dare to bet on a rebound, fearing they will catch it halfway up the mountain.
But they have one thing in common: as long as the signal is right, they steadily take their own profits.
In the past, I was stumbling around in the dark, now the light is in my hands.
The light is always on, will you follow or not? @币来财888
