#MSCI未来或纳入数字资产财库企业 How does it feel for an account to drop from 100,000 USDT to 5,000 USDT? I have a user who personally experienced such despair.



Last year, he投入了10万USDT into the crypto market all at once, but after half a year of trading, he was wiped out. Multiple trades in and out every day, eyes glued to the 1-minute K-line, FOMOing into market swings, chasing meme coins, betting on rebounds... Transaction fees ate up more profit than gains. The more he fell, the more anxious he became; the more anxious, the more chaotic. In the end, he couldn't even tell which trade caused the loss.

When he came to me, he was already desperate. I told him one thing: stop being a "machine gun" firing wildly, and learn to be a "sniper" aiming precisely.

I set three unbreakable bottom lines for him:

**First: Only focus on high-confidence major trends.** Ignore all "noise" on the 1-hour chart, lock your attention on the larger structure of 4 hours and above. Limit yourself to a maximum of 3 trades per day; if no good setups, stay in cash and observe. Missing one opportunity won't cost you, but making a wrong trade can lead to big losses.

**Second: Be willing to amplify wins and cut losses decisively.** Do not risk more than 10% of your total capital per trade; once you gain 20%, take half profits to lock in gains, and trail the rest with a moving stop-loss; if losses reach 5%, cut immediately—no adding to losing positions, no gambling, no fantasies.

**Third: Discipline above all.** After two stop-losses, enforce a pause for reflection; review and record every trade; never let emotions dictate your actions.

After three months, looking at his account again, there was no overnight riches story, but the funds were steadily recovering. His entire trading rhythm had completely changed—from reckless to calm, from random copying to precision.

Opportunities in the crypto world are not lacking; what’s missing is the skill to survive and make money. Those who truly turn things around have always learned how to survive, not how to make quick money. As long as the principal remains, there is hope for a comeback.

100,000 to 5,000, this is what you deserve. Constantly making reckless moves on the 1-minute chart every day and still dare to say you're trading? --- Basically, it's about not controlling risk well. Going all-in in one shot doesn't lead to a long life. --- The analogy of a machine gunner turning into a sniper is pretty good, but honestly, very few people can actually execute it. --- 3 trades a day, 5% stop loss, locking in 20% profit... sounds simple but it's extremely difficult to do. A single limit-up can break someone's discipline. --- That's how the crypto world is. Living is a hundred times more important than making money, but some people still refuse to believe it and insist on going all-in. --- I believe this guy has steadily recovered over three months, but I still want to see his account after six months. Many people just rebound for a while and then start to go wild again.

A buddy who dropped from 100,000 U to 5,000 U, damn, how shattered must his mentality be. To be honest, those who constantly watch the 1-minute chart should have already given up.

100,000 drops to 5,000... Just hearing it sounds hopeless, but what does it mean that this guy can recover? It shows that he has truly let go of the "quick money dream."

This is what I want to hear... It's not about the MSCI inclusion story, but about the story of being alive.

This guy lost 100,000 to 5,000. Just thinking about it makes me hurt. Honestly, it's just that he couldn't resist changing things out of greed. But these three bottom lines really hit the mark, especially the one that says "Living is more important than making money"... It’s too heartbreaking. How many people have died over a single trade.
