#数字货币市场洞察 account once evaporated 800,000, and people around me advised me to accept my fate and go back to working a regular job. At that time, I only had 2,000U left in hand, which became my last chip in the crypto market.

Many people think turning things around relies on luck or insider information. That's wrong. What I relied on was a set of rigid, almost boring trading rules—before every entry, I had to clearly mark my take-profit and stop-loss levels in advance, and write them in my trading journal. I never allow myself to change my mind on the fly during trades.

Every order is forced to set a stop-loss. If a loss triggers, I exit immediately—no wishful thinking. When there’s no clear signal, I’d rather stay on the sidelines and do nothing than make random moves. Made a profit? Immediately withdraw a portion, not giving the market a chance to take it back.

The first nine weeks of live trading: During that BTC rebound, I locked in my main position as soon as I made a profit; when LTC surged in the opposite direction, I exited in batches without being greedy for the final stretch. After four consecutive profitable trades, my account grew from 2,000U to over 30,000U, and eventually pushed up to a scale of 550,000U.

People ask me if I can accurately predict the market. Honestly, I often can’t see through the trends either. But what I can do is: exercise restraint.

In the crypto market, most people don’t lose to price action, but to themselves—they chase highs when the price goes up and panic-sell when it drops; they never set stop-loss lines or plan profit-taking points in advance; when they make money, they get cocky, and when they lose, they go all-in out of desperation. The problem never lies in the market itself, but in the lack of a repeatable trading framework.

Looking back now, the initial 2,000U doesn’t matter. What matters is whether you can stick to your rules; even if you only make a little each time, time will help you turn small profits into big numbers. Discipline may sound dull, but it’s the only weapon ordinary people have to survive in this market.
