If your account only has a little principal left and you want to turn things around, perhaps you should listen to my story.
At my craziest, I was fully leveraged, with funds spread across seven or eight coins. When the market turned, I was directly wiped out.
That year, I lost hundreds of thousands, using credit cards and borrowed money from friends, all invested in a bunch of unproven concepts, and in the end, I didn't even have the courage to log into the exchange.
On the day I truly hit rock bottom, I only had a small amount of money left in my account. It wasn't that I didn't want to increase my position, but I simply couldn’t afford it anymore.
At that moment, I told myself:
I can no longer rely on luck; I can only rely on a plan.
From now on, I will only use a rolling position system to climb back up little by little.
My approach has three main points:
1. Only trade mainstream coin contracts and clear all distractions.
I only look at the daily charts and key trends for BTC and ETH. I don’t look at, touch, or fantasize about other coins.
2. Strictly control the position and stop-loss for each trade.
I only use 10% of my principal for a single trade; if the direction is wrong, I stop-loss at 3%, and if the direction is right, I hold on. As soon as I make a 15% profit, I lock in half of it, and for the remaining, I set a protective stop to take profit.
3. Don’t be impatient when making profits, and don’t rush when losing.
Every time I make a profit, I withdraw once; I leave the profits to roll into the next trade;
Every time I incur a loss, I take a half-day break and reassess the direction.
I no longer chase news, join groups, or listen to calls.
I only believe in one thing: relying on a system and execution is much more stable than relying on people and feelings.
Changes in three months:
📌 Month 1: Small amounts gradually increase, settling weekly, not expecting to double, just wanting stable profits.
📌 Month 2: Compounding starts to kick in, the principal doubles, and the state stabilizes noticeably.
📌 Month 3: The account gradually recovers, every trade has a plan, and every profit-taking is more decisive.
Looking back now, that most difficult time actually helped me develop the strongest sense of discipline. When your funds are low and there’s no way out, it’s easier to focus on execution.
Real rolling positions are not about going all in; it’s treating every bit of unrealized profit as the next bullet.
If you are struggling:
Don’t randomly try to catch the bottom, don’t recklessly increase leverage, and don’t fantasize about “hitting the jackpot with one coin”.
The market has opportunities every day; the real problem isn’t that you can’t see them, but that you aren’t prepared to seize them.
In this market, what you lack isn’t effort or opportunities, but someone who can help you achieve stable profits in this market.
