From 1000U to 100,000U: A Newbie in the Crypto World’s 6-Month Comeback Record
Six months ago, my friend A Jie’s account shrank from 150,000U to only 1,800U. He curled up on the sofa in his rental apartment, his fingers hovering over the trading keys, trembling and unable to press them. He messaged me: “Bro, I know I'm inexperienced, but I really can't accept just giving up like this.”
I replied to him: “Don’t think about turning things around just yet; let’s focus on turning 1,800U into 5,000U first.”
He really took that to heart. During that time, he seemed like a different person.
1. Quit the Gambler's Mentality: Small Positions + No All-In
He used to always think about “recovering everything in one go,” but ended up losing even more. Now he uses only 10% of his position for each trade, with leverage never exceeding 3 times. When entering with 800U, he divides it into 8 parts (100U each), and on his first ETH trade, he opened a long position at 2,000U, took 200U in profit as a “safety cushion,” and then continued to roll with the remaining 8 parts. Over the course of 6 months, his position grew like a snowball, but he never suffered significant losses due to mistakes.
2. Only Trade Trends He Understands
He used to chase “100x coins” and “hot concepts,” but ended up going all-in on a new coin at 3,000U, which dropped to 200U the same day, losing half a year’s savings. Now he only trades the range fluctuations of BTC and ETH. In May, when BTC fluctuated between 28,000U and 32,000U, he made 4 swing trades, each time earning 8%-12%, which is more stable than those who change positions daily.
3. Stop Loss is Life: Cut Losses at 5%
He used to always think, “let’s wait for a rebound,” but ended up losing 80% when ADA dropped from 1.8U to 0.9U. Now he sets a rule before entering: “maximum loss of 5%.” For example, if he trades with 10,000U, he exits if he loses 500U. In June, he opened a long position on SOL at 120U, setting a stop loss at 114U, exited with a 6,000U loss, and that night SOL dropped to 105U, while someone held on and lost 50,000U.
4. Take Profit: Stop After Earning 300U a Day
He used to want to increase his position as soon as he earned a little, but ended up giving all his profits back. Now he has a strict rule: if he makes 300U in a day, he stops trading and never holds “overnight positions.” In the first month, he used this strategy to grow his 8,000U to 40,000U; by the third month, he capitalized on the AI narrative track and reached 90,000U; by the sixth month, his account surpassed 300,000U.
The Truth: Stability is More Important Than High Profits
The crypto world is not a casino; it is a game for those with discipline. If you find yourself stuck in a cycle of losses, try these 4 rules.
Small Position Testing: Use only 10% of your funds each time; mistakes won’t cause significant damage; Always Set Stop Loss: Cut losses at 5% to protect your capital; Only Trade Ranges: Don’t chase hot trends; only earn what you understand; Take Profit: Set daily profit targets and never hold overnight.
