#美联储降息 From a margin call at 150,000U to a five-month turnaround, this trader's review notes are worth reading

Last year, a trader experienced the most embarrassing moment—losing 150,000U in chasing highs and selling lows, leaving only 10,000U in the account. Nearly on the verge of a breakdown, but over the next five months, they turned things around: not only recovering the principal but also netting an additional 50,000U.$BTC

His trading records are full of classic loss patterns: impulsive trades, emotional all-in bets, holding positions without stop-loss. He decided to pause for a week and review each losing trade. The data was laid out before him—the root cause of 90% of losses pointed to the same issue: almost zero trading discipline, with stop-loss execution being virtually non-existent.$ETH

The next step was a crucial turning point. He set two life-and-death lines for himself: a maximum loss of 5% per trade, and a cap of 10% on daily total losses. He also adjusted his strategy—only trading at key support and resistance levels of top coins like $BTC and $ETH , with stop-loss placed 1.5% outside these levels. Even more aggressively, he would exit the principal once a 5% profit was reached, taking profits and continuing to trade, cutting risk by more than half.

The third step was the real accelerator: deploying 2000U to stake on three small-cap coins. But this wasn't reckless all-in; the conditions were extremely strict—the on-chain data had to show large holders still involved, and the exchange wallet holdings needed to be steadily decreasing (a signal that a pump might be coming). With these three strategies, 10,000U grew to 210,000U in three months.

In the crypto world, 10,000U is never the end; 99% of people get stuck on the mental trap of "must quickly recover." Those who last longer have already won—controlling their impulses, embedding strategy into their trading instincts, and long-term discipline outweigh short-term passion. Mastering this, turning the tide is only a matter of time.
