Last year, I lost 800,000. Those days were really tough. smashing my phone, deleting apps, almost cutting off all contact, I once thought the crypto journey was over. But I just couldn't give up.

At the beginning of 2025, my account only had $3,300. I told myself, this is the last chance to turn things around.

The results were unexpected. With this small capital, I gradually grew to 80,000, then 120,000, and continued to double. The whole process actually involved just three things.

**First: Controlling Position Size**

Most people who get margin called share a common problem — they always go all-in on each trade, reluctant to take profits, and hold on stubbornly when losing. My principle is very strict: never exceed 40% of the account on a single position, the remaining 60% is emergency funds, and I don’t touch it.

Every trade has a stop-loss set. If the drawdown reaches 15%, regardless of how the market moves, I exit immediately. As long as I don’t get margin called, there’s always a next opportunity.

**Second: Follow the Trend**

Don’t try to guess the top or bottom, just ride the most profitable segment of the market. When the market is bullish, focus on strong coins; when bearish, go short. Never go against the trend. It sounds simple, but earning $5,000 in 10 minutes essentially means standing at the right place at the right time.

**Third: Roll and Take Profits**

For every floating profit, I only take 30% to roll into the next wave of the market, and withdraw the remaining 70%. Small capital grows slowly this way — eventually not only recovering the 800,000 loss but also earning over 200,000 net profit.

Looking at ETH and BTC now, this rebound is definitely worth paying attention to. Market sentiment is recovering, and strong coins are performing clearly. The key is to stick to discipline, whether chasing gains or cutting losses, stay calm and steady.

As the market moves, those who stick to this system will survive the longest.
