After losing 3 million, I returned to the crypto world with only 50,000 left.
The hardest part isn't losing everything, but whether you can calmly face the market after losing it all.
At my peak, my account had seven digits; I was used to heavily investing, chasing highs, and stubbornly holding during downturns. As a result, I often saw the right direction but ended up losing more and more, finally crashing at BNB's lowest point. That day, I threw my phone and spent the entire night downstairs smoking, feeling for the first time that I should stop.
But I didn't leave. I told myself: use the simplest and most stable method to try again.
I set rules:
Never exceed 20% position;
Every trade has a stop-loss, plan to exit first, and keep emotions aside;
Don't cling to profits, lock in gains at 20%;
Blacklist all altcoins and only trade BTC, ETH, SOL.
At first, it was slow, with at most two trades a week, but my account stabilized, and my mind did too. My first recovery was during the LTC rebound, where I made 8,000 with 20x leverage. I wasn't excited, but I understood: it wasn't the market that changed, it was that I finally stopped being reckless.
For each subsequent trade, I approached it like defusing a bomb—first checking the structure, then emotions, then data; I'd rather not make a move than gamble on luck.
I turned 50,000 into 500,000, not relying on luck, not on tips, not on sudden strikes, but on two words: stable, decisive.
When the market is unfavorable, I can endure the itch; when the opportunity arises, I'm willing to hit hard with profits. Don’t envy those who get rich overnight; many of them earn 1 million today and lose it all tomorrow.
Those who can truly recover are not the clever ones, but those who can “bow their heads”: those who can endure, wait, and stop. If you are also losing and want to turn things around, don't think about getting rich quickly; first, ask yourself one question: can you control yourself? Can you truly be stable this time?
Only if you can do that, do you have the qualification to turn things around.
If you don't want to keep going in circles, then plan with the white bear; the current market is a great opportunity to recover and flip your position.
