Mid-July, I came across a story. A trader’s account had shrunk to the limit last year—losing 800,000 dollars and ending up with only 20,000 U. He asked me if he could turn things around in this market cycle. I told him very straightforwardly: First, delete the words "getting even" from your mind.

His initial idea was very typical—wanting to get rich quickly and turn the tide. But I told him that the premise of a comeback isn’t taking risks; it’s learning to survive first. We started from zero and built a system.

The account was divided into five parts, with each trade capped at 4,000 U. This seemingly simple rule is actually a battle against human greed. No more "all-in" approaches; instead, calmly distributing risk.

He experienced a stop-loss on ZEC. His first entry was caught, and he set a 3.8% floating loss to close the position. Of course, that was frustrating at the time, but four days later, ZEC dropped 14%. If he hadn’t stopped out, it would have been an even bigger blow.

Later, with COAI, he went from 0.16 to 0.47. But this time, it wasn’t forced holding; he sold in batches at 0.24, 0.33, and 0.42, capturing the main upward wave and successfully avoiding subsequent risks.

The most interesting change was that he started to accept "empty positions." After two days of indecision, I insisted he take a break. He was eager to act, asking whether he should trade. I only said: "Waiting itself is the strongest operation." And guess what? When the market finally started moving, he ended up catching even more opportunities.

After 28 days, his account surpassed 800,000 U. This isn’t a turnaround that can be explained by luck, but the result of executing rules step by step. No mysterious signals—just discipline.

His final realization was: "The secret to consistent profits is actually hidden in the simplest rules."

In the crypto market, it’s never about who makes money faster, but who can survive longer. The true winners are not the smartest, but those who can stick to their routines and keep a steady mindset.
