#加密生态动态追踪 From a margin call at 150,000 to a turnaround in one year—A trader's review record
Last year, a crypto enthusiast's story was quite touching. He was liquidated with 150,000 USD, leaving only 10,000 USD in his account, and his mindset completely collapsed. But he took five months to not only recover his losses but also netted an additional 50,000 USD. Looking through his trading records, the problems are obvious.
Chasing rallies and selling dips, large trades smashing the account, stubbornly holding onto losses—these are the three typical traits of retail traders. After a week of review, two fatal flaws were identified: trading decisions relying entirely on emotions, and stop-losses being essentially useless. 90% of the losses stemmed from these two issues. $BTC
How to fix? Set two unbreakable bottom lines: a maximum loss of 5% per trade, and a daily total loss cap of 10%. Then simplify the strategy to the extreme—only lurking at key support and resistance levels for BTC/ETH, with stop-loss set just outside these critical points at 1.5%. Once profits reach 5%, immediately withdraw the principal, and continue trading with pure profits, directly cutting off the risk at the waist. $ETH
The third step is interesting. Allocate 2000 USD into three small coins, but not randomly. The filtering logic is strict: whether large on-chain holders are still holding, and whether the exchange's coin volume is continuously flowing out. Combining these two signals is basically a prelude to a major player preparing to push the price.
Result? With this strategy, 10,000 USD compounded over three months to 210,000 USD.
One of the most realistic truths in the crypto world: 10,000 USD is never the end of the road. The problem is that most people are stuck in the obsession of "desperately trying to get back to break-even." The more they lose, the slower they should go. Controlling oneself is more important than anything else. Can you truly follow the strategy? Can you embed discipline into your trading bones? If yes, turning the tide is only a matter of time.

To be honest, I've heard this logic many times, but the key is whether you can really stick to it. Most people fail at the words "control your hands," and I am no exception.

Basically, it's a mindset issue. Most people die because of greed... Controlling oneself is really harder than anything else.

Oh no, this is what we often call a mindset issue, really.
---
Controlling your hands is truly better than anything else; it's easier to say than to do.
---
I need to carefully consider the 5% stop-loss rule; I always feel this is my weakest point.
---
The "the more you lose, the more anxious" disease I had last year, and it was quite serious.
---
21,000 U? Large on-chain holders' positions are indeed a signal, but I'm worried about making the wrong judgment.
---
Turning 10,000 U into 210,000 U sounds a bit unbelievable, but the logic does make sense.
---
The phrase "surviving in the market" hits hard; I always die because of the obsession with "quick profits."
---
So the key is discipline, most people fail because of this.
---
I've tried chasing gains and cutting losses all before, and thinking back now, it still makes me a bit scared.
