Last month, a friend came to me. He acted recklessly and messed around, losing his 100,000 USDT principal down to 5,000 USDT, almost breaking down completely.

You see, this kind of thing is all too common in the crypto world—90% of losers look like this:

Placing dozens of trades a day, unable to stop, with fees almost equal to the principal

Jumping into any hot coin, only to find the account in ruins by morning

Staying awake at 3 a.m. staring at the charts, with red and green K-lines flashing painfully, and the more he watches, the more he loses

He’s asked himself countless times: Am I trading, or am I being harvested?

When he came to me with only 5,000 USDT left, his eyes were completely hollow. I told him: Want to turn things around? Learn to strike precisely like a sniper, don’t just spray around with a Gatling gun.

From that day on, I set three strict rules for him:

**First: Only trade with certainty, don’t be a puppet of K-line patterns**

Drop those quick 1-minute trades; focus on key levels on the 4-hour chart and above. Better to miss ten opportunities than to make one bad move. Trading is about quality, not quantity—no more than three trades a day. When your fingers itch, go to the gym; don’t touch the trading platform again.

**Second: Take half profits when you win, cut all losses when you lose**

Always keep the first position at 10% (500 USDT). When you gain 20%, lock in half and let the rest run with a trailing stop. If losses reach 5%, close the position immediately—no averaging down, no gambling, no hesitation. Stop-loss is your lifeline; luck-based gambles are your death sentence.

**Third: Discipline above all, review every trade**

If you hit two consecutive stop-losses, shut down immediately—don’t let emotions influence your judgment. Don’t believe in the myth of “holding on until you break even.” After each loss, analyze what went wrong; after each profit, stick to your plan unwaveringly.

He followed this method for a few months, and his account gradually started to recover. One day, he asked me: “Why has no one told me this before?”

I smiled: “Because most people prefer to blow up their accounts than admit they’re gambling.”

The first lesson to truly turn things around is always learning to stay alive. Before your principal is completely lost, master the lesson of stop-loss thoroughly.

Are you feeling confused now? Stuck in this cycle? The solution is simple—it's not necessary to go in blind alone. Find someone experienced to help you clarify your strategy, turning trading into a methodical, rhythmic, patient long-term battle rather than a gamble.
