#策略性加码BTC A trader confided in me a few months ago. He spent 100,000 USDT to dip his toes into the crypto world, only to see his account shrink to 5,000 USDT, and he was completely devastated.



This situation is all too common in the market. Most people who suffer losses share the same symptoms:

Placing dozens of orders a day, with transaction fees eating up half of their capital.

Jumping into a coin as soon as it takes off, only to wake up and realize they chased air.

Staring at K-line charts at 2 or 3 a.m., with green and red flickering alternately, becoming more and more anxious, and their accounts turning redder.

Eventually, he started to wonder: Am I just a living ATM?

When he came to me with the remaining 5,000 USDT asking what to do, I gave him an analogy:

Instead of mindlessly spraying bullets like a machine gun, learn the patience of a sniper.

I set three iron rules for him:

**First, Stop at Uncertainty**

Forget about minute-level fluctuations. Focus on true turning points on 4-hour charts and above.

Better to miss ten opportunities than to miss a real breakout. Trading isn’t about how often you operate, but about your hit rate. Set a limit of three trades per day; if your finger gets itchy, go for a run. Don’t flip the table for no reason.

**Second, Share the Gains, Cut Losses Immediately**

Always control the first position at 10% of your account (in this case, 500 USDT).

When you make a 20% profit, sell half immediately to lock in gains. Let the remaining position run with a trailing stop-loss, allowing profits to grow freely.

If the loss reaches 5%, don’t hesitate—cut it. Forget about comforting yourself with “wait until it recovers.” Stop-loss is life insurance; luck is the accelerator to bankruptcy.

**Third, Discipline is the Firewall**

After two consecutive stop-losses, shut down your trading software immediately. Not because the system is bad, but to prevent emotional explosions.

Write down every trade—know where you were right when you profit, and understand where you went wrong when you lose.

Months have passed. Following this approach, his account has begun to rise slowly but steadily. No explosive gains, no big losses.

He later asked me: “Why, after so many years of trading, has no one ever taught me this?”

I replied: “Because most people would rather blow up their accounts than face the fact that they’re gambling.”

The first step to turning things around is never about how to make big money, but about how to survive longer.

Before your account goes bankrupt, master the lesson of stop-loss.

If you’re also lost in the market right now or want someone to help you organize your thoughts, we can chat together. I’m willing to accompany you and turn this trading journey into a plan, with rhythm, and something you can do long-term.
