Li Ming (pseudonym) first realized that he was "really running out of money" at three o'clock in the morning.
That day, he stared at the exchange balance, and only 800 USDT was left on the screen, his eyes bloodshot.
"If I blow my account one more time, I might just quit entirely."
He lit a cigarette, feeling mixed emotions.
In the past year, he had made money before. When the market was good, he once built his account up to several tens of thousands. Unfortunately, a few heavy bets, combined with weak stop-losses, turned profits into bubbles. Time and again, he watched his balance go to zero.
This time, 800 USDT was his last "lifeline."
At that moment, a friend told him: "Why not try position management? Don’t gamble your life anymore."
He was half-convinced: "Position management? Can that really turn things around?"
But with no other choice, he decided to give it a try.
Stage One: Self-Salvation Through Position Management
Li Ming forcefully split 800 USDT into 5 parts, only taking 160 USDT into the market each time.
At first, he was extremely unaccustomed. Clearly, the market was doing well, and others were going all in, but he could only test the waters with small positions. Watching others double their money overnight made him itch.
But when the market suddenly plummeted, he was grateful for not going all-in for the first time. At that moment, he began to truly understand the meaning of "controlling position size."
Stage Two: Profit Snowballing
Next, he set strict rules for himself:
Single losses never exceed 3% of the principal.
The principal remains untouched, and all profits are used to increase positions.
The initial profits were not large—dozens of USDT, even just over twenty USDT.
But Li Ming held back, not touching the principal, but letting the profits "continue to earn in the market."
Two weeks later, he was amazed to find that his account had grown from 800 USDT to 2400 USDT.
At this point, he fully believed in this rhythm.
Stage Three: Rhythm Recovery
With the groundwork laid in the previous two weeks, Li Ming's mindset completely changed.
While others were flustered by a wave of market movement, he was able to calmly manage positions, cut losses, and increase his investments.
He was no longer the retail investor chasing after high prices and selling at lows, but had his own "operational rhythm."
28 days later, he opened his account, and the number stood at 9.2 WU.
He stared for a full minute, repeatedly confirming that he wasn't seeing things.
"It turns out that turning your account around doesn’t rely on luck at all."
Li Ming let out a long breath and suddenly felt like laughing.
Now, he often shares this experience with beginners:
"The scariest thing in the crypto world is not losing money, but losing rhythm."
"There is only one real secret—position size. If you can diversify, cut losses, and roll profits, you can survive and turn things around."
