#数字资产动态追踪 Recently, a trader reached out to me, voice filled with helplessness: "Now I only have 4,200 USDT left in my account, I feel like there's no hope." You can feel the frustration even through the screen. Unexpectedly, over a month later, he excitedly sent a screenshot: "Oh my God! It’s grown to 68,000! This time I really understand that self-discipline is the true weapon for turning things around."



There are no magical indicators backing this up, nor have I heard any insider information. His comeback was solely based on strictly adhering to three bottom lines.

**Bottom Line 1: Limit the initial position to 20%, prefer missing out over risking everything**

The most dangerous thing in crypto isn’t misreading the trend, but making a wrong decision and being forced out immediately. The rule I set for him was very strict: the first position should never exceed 20% of total funds. When the market is unclear, test with small amounts; once the trend becomes clearer, add positions gradually.

This isn’t conservatism; it’s about surviving long enough.

**Bottom Line 2: Lock in stop-loss points in advance, exit immediately when triggered**

Many people understand stop-losses but are reluctant to admit defeat. "Hold on a bit longer, maybe it will rebound"—but small losses turn into big holes. My simple requirement is: before entering each trade, the stop-loss must be fixed; once triggered, exit unconditionally.

Stop-loss isn’t about giving up; it’s about preserving the fire for the next opportunity.

**Bottom Line 3: Only trade coins you understand clearly, avoid chasing trends**

Opportunities are everywhere, but you can’t catch them all. Greed leads to worse falls. I told him to repeatedly operate on coins he’s confident in and signals he understands well; ignore the crazy surges of others.

The profits that can ultimately be cashed out come from trades within your knowledge scope.

In a month, from nearly zero to surpassing 68,000 USDT, the turning point isn’t complicated. It’s not about suddenly skyrocketing technical skills, but finally learning how to "restrain your fingers."

The crypto world is never short of geniuses; what’s rare is surviving long enough. Those who make it to the end are often not the smartest, but the most disciplined in execution.

Damn, this guy really turned things around, from 4200 to 68000, unbelievable… To be honest, I agree most with the stop-loss part; too many people just hold on stubbornly, and in the end, go all-in and get wiped out. But the 20% initial position size is still something I think varies from person to person. Sometimes, even when you see the right direction, it's really hard not to go all-in, and that can be really uncomfortable…

To be honest, I haven't strictly followed the 20% initial position rule before, and the result was just a condensed version of that guy... Now I realize that discipline is worth much more than luck.

Honestly, stop-loss is really the hardest lesson. I've also experienced the tragedy of "waiting a bit longer" only to get liquidated directly. The phrase "restraining your fingers" is spot on, that's exactly how it is.
