#数字资产动态追踪 The account dropped from 200,000 U to just 5,000 U—how to turn the tide?
When he asked me if he could break even after the case, I took a quick look at his trading records and couldn’t find the words to respond. An account started with 200,000, but was manipulated down to almost nothing.
The reasons for the crash are varied: chasing high SHIB with full position and 10x leverage, placing dozens of orders in a day, obsessively watching minute-level K-line charts, trading fees quietly eating away at the principal... The harder the fall, the more reluctant he was to cut losses, filled with the idea that "a rebound will free me," only to be met with continuous halving of the account; the most absurd was chasing trending meme coins, rushing in as soon as others posted gains, only to wake up and find the account unrecognizable.
My answer is straightforward: there is a way to turn it around, but the premise is to learn how to "stay alive." I set three strict rules:
**First habit—break the urge to operate:** Don’t treat short-term K-line charts as entertainment; wait for a clear opportunity before acting. Not understanding? Then take a break—no matter how good the opportunity looks, don’t force it.
**Second habit—try small amounts first, then add:** Cap the initial position at 10% (about 500U). Once floating profit reaches 20%, take half off the table, and set a trailing stop for the remaining part to let profits run.
**Third habit—no negotiations on stop-loss:** Cut losses at 5% per trade. If losses hit that, close immediately and shut down the trading app.
This approach may sound simple, but it’s very hardcore in practice. After two months, this brother’s account climbed back to 100,000 U.
To everyone struggling in the mud of losses: don’t think about turning things around overnight, focus on how to stay alive first. Most people aren’t lacking market intuition; they lack the courage to give up the illusion of "holding on a little longer to break even." If you’re still hesitating, we can chat—using systematic methods to grow small funds and achieve steady growth is the long-term game.

ngl the 5% hard stop rule hits different... feels like a proper risk management primitive, no cap. most people just lack the discipline to actually execute it tho, that's the real bottleneck

Really, setting stop-loss is easier to talk about than to do. How many people just can't resist a "wait a little longer"?

Honestly, after reading the story of the 200,000 dropping to 5,000, I was reminded of my own tragedy last year... I also went all-in on SHIB and was this reckless.
That said, stop-loss is easier to talk about than to actually do. When I see a limit-down, I just can't bring myself to sell. At that time, my mind was full of the curse "rebound to break even." Now I understand that holding on stubbornly is not as good as staying alive.
I am now strictly implementing the 5% stop-loss rule. Although sometimes I miss out on rebounds, at least I am still alive to keep playing. Isn't that right?

200,000 invested in 5,000, how ruthless is that... I see quite a few people like this around me, each more outrageous than the last.
Stop-loss is easy to talk about, but when it comes to actual losses, no one can do it; the mentality collapses.
The small-scale testing approach I find most practical, but the hardest part is execution. When Dogecoin rises, I can't help but go all in.
