Last year, I suffered a huge loss in the crypto world, losing 1 million. That period was really tough, and I fell into self-doubt. But by the beginning of the year, I still had 3400U in my account, and I started to reflect: should I continue to lie flat or start over? In the end, I chose the latter.
Later, some people reached out to me to discuss trading insights, and I started trading with them. Starting from 3400U, I gradually increased the position size to 120,000, then doubled it. Eventually, this follower not only turned losses into profits but also earned over 500,000. This process made me realize that technology is not the biggest bottleneck—discipline is.
Here are the three core principles I summarized:
**First, never fully load your position.** No single trade should exceed 40% of your account; the remaining 60% must be reserved. This is not conservatism; it’s survival. Cut losses at 15%, stop before liquidation—only then do you have a chance to come back. Many people lose big money because they go all-in and stubbornly hold on.
**Second, follow the trend and never go against it.** This sounds simple, but execution is difficult. When the market surges, go long; when it drops sharply, go short—don’t try to predict the top or bottom. The market is always testing your psychological bottom line. Going with the flow is more important than guessing the right direction.
**Third, profit must be managed in layers.** Take 30% of the profits to roll over into new positions, and withdraw the rest promptly. This helps avoid emotional swings caused by unrealized gains and ensures real profits are secured.
Turning small funds into a big comeback is not a dream, but the premise is discipline. I’ve seen many people grow from a few thousand U to tens of thousands U, and even more who ruin good opportunities out of greed. The problem is never technology or luck—it’s execution and mindset.
