Recently, a trader shared his turnaround story, which was quite inspiring.

He took over an account with a principal of $90,000, which shrank to less than $30,000 in two months. What went wrong? Just look at the trading records — it’s clear — frequent chasing of highs and selling lows, getting cut repeatedly, taking profits and then running — classic emotional trading.

He decided to help this trader reorganize his strategy. In the first week, he strictly followed the plan, making only two trades. He bought ENS at 7.8 and sold at 9.2, and entered an ARB position at 1.12, exiting at 1.31. No overtrading; after a week, the account recovered to $41,000.

In the second week, he engaged with PEOPLE, entering at 0.078 and exiting at 0.113. There was some fluctuation in between, but no reckless moves. After this wave, the account grew to $67,000.

In the third week, he used a hedging strategy. Profits from ETH long positions, with short positions protecting the principal, combined with BNB holdings, the account surged to $109,000 in three weeks.

What’s the key to the problem? It’s not that the market is difficult, but that his own rhythm was not well controlled. Frequently switching directions, constantly watching the market, placing orders based on feelings — these are the sources of losses. Once a clear strategy and disciplined execution are in place, it becomes easier to hold gains.

Trading, in essence, is about first choosing the right direction, then taking it step by step.
