I know an old buddy who has endured since the bull market in 2021, and last year's wave of the market directly lost 25,000 dollars, leaving only 2000 USDT hanging on by a thread.
During that time, he told me that it took courage to open the trading software every day, watching others flaunt their profits felt like seeing an ex with a new lover—his heart felt stifled, but his finger couldn't resist pressing the loan button.
Later, he came to me and just asked: "Can it still turn around?"
I said: "First, give up the thought of 'breaking even', learn how to breathe in the market."
We established three iron rules:
Only do one deal a day, don't catch small fish, only catch big fish.
If the direction is wrong, cut immediately, act decisively without blinking.
Earned and added positions in batches, always keep some reserve.
In the first ten days, 2000 USDT slowly grew to 3700 USDT. There were two times when he hesitated to hold onto his positions, and I directly forced him to cut losses. He shook his head: "If I had been this ruthless earlier, I wouldn't have ended up like this."
When the rhythm stabilized, he started rolling over his positions. I remember when ETH surged to 2360, he bought from the bottom at 2390, safely pocketing over 80 points. I told him: "Getting rich is not a one-time deal; it's a long-term battle."
Just like that, the account went from 8600 to 14700, and finally, riding the wave of Bitcoin, it shot up to 25400 USDT—just enough to break even.
On the settlement day, he stared at the screen for a long time and said a heartfelt thing: "It turns out the hardest part isn’t making money, it’s how to not get eaten by the market."
This is not an inspirational story. Finding the right rhythm + controlling your hands + strict execution is the hard truth for a turnaround.
The market is hot again, are you ready to continue being a lamb to the slaughter, or will you choose a different way of living?
