After years of navigating the crypto market, I've experienced going from losing all the way down from 8,000 USDT to just a few hundred, and then working hard to reach 500,000 USDT. Honestly, this isn't about intelligence, but about a trading method I developed myself.



The core logic is actually very simple: win big when you can, and get out quickly when you can't.

When I first started, I thought I was pretty good. Watching candlesticks every day, studying indicators, analyzing structures, trying to buy at the lowest point and sell at the highest, even dreaming of keeping up with the big players. But what happened? I placed orders full of confidence, and when the market turned against me, I stubbornly held on, losing several times and being educated by the market.

Later, I realized one thing: there are many people in the market smarter than me. Instead of fooling myself, it's better to admit defeat. If I can't understand complex trends, I just focus on the simplest big trend; truly understanding the market isn't common, so I only take one or two confident trades, ignoring even the most tempting ones. I accept that I might be wrong most of the time, so once I get a negative signal, I turn around and walk away—mistakes are normal for me, but the key is not to fight them.

Sometimes I get it right, but I don't get cocky—it's just luck shining through.

But when I turn around and look, I never hesitate when making money.

There are only one or two truly smooth markets throughout the year. Once I find the rhythm, if I haven't made enough profit, I just exit. Where do I put the losses I took earlier? When the trend is right, I go all out, taking as much profit as I can.

Conversely, when I can't beat the market, I run faster than anyone.

Losing money is normal, but not running is suicide. I need to stay alive; I can't risk losing my capital due to a single misjudgment. When the market moves against me, I prefer to admit my mistake and never fight the trend.

I used to think I was pretty skilled, but the smarter I was, the more I lost; later, I accepted being "dumb," and that helped me survive step by step.

This approach isn't fancy, but at least it helped me stand firm in the crypto world. If you're feeling lost now, maybe this "silly method" is exactly what you need.

In simple terms, it's about the practical application of stop-loss and take-profit strategies. It sounds simple, but in reality, 99% of people can't do it.

Really speaking, admitting defeat is the only way to survive. I only realized this after losing dozens of times. That fierce determination when making money really has to be all in, otherwise it's just a waste of opportunity. From 8,000 to a few hundred, then to 500,000, this reversal was indeed intense. But I still want to ask, with the current market conditions, do you still dare to hold a heavy position? Enduring losses at that moment is really tough; many people get stuck there. Why does this logic sound so familiar to me... I do the same thing. Wow, you're basically saying that most people die at the greed hurdle.

To be honest, I've heard this logic too many times, but few actually survive. However, I have to admit, the process of turning a few hundred bucks into 500,000 is indeed intense. The key is that phrase "Not running is suicide"; many people have died right here.

Listen, brother, your logic is basically that you can only make money by staying alive, right?

You're being too honest; you just have to admit defeat to live a long life.

Wow, from a few hundred to 500,000, this wave of life reversal is truly amazing. Knowing when to admit defeat is the beginning of making money, I’ve realized.
