A huge loss last year made me collapse instantly—980,000 just disappeared like that. I smashed my phone, deleted apps, and during that time I almost gave up everything.

At that time, I really felt that the story of the crypto world was coming to an end, but deep down I was unwilling to accept it. By early 2025, there were only 3500 USDT left in my account. I gave myself an ultimatum: this was the only chance to turn things around.

You might laugh, but what happened next really did occur – going from 3500U to 100,000, then to 380,000, snowballing all the way up. Looking back, I adhered to three principles:

**Rule 1: Never go fully invested**

Why do so many people get liquidated? Most of it is due to over-leveraging. They can't bear to take profits and run when they earn a little, but they stubbornly hold on when they are losing. My approach is very simple: I never exceed 40% of my position in a single trade, and the remaining 60% of my USDT is always my "emergency fund", not to be touched.

Every transaction must set a stop loss, and if the drawdown reaches 15%, exit unconditionally. The key is - as long as you haven't been liquidated, there will always be another opportunity.

**Article 2: Only follow trending markets**

Don't guess the top or the bottom, just eat the fattest segment of the market. If the market is going up, trade strong coins, don't fantasize about any rebounds; if the market is going down, go short directly, no reverse operations. Many people earn eight thousand in ten minutes, simply put, they are just on the right side of the trend.

**Article 3: Rolling Out of Position**

Every time there is a profit, take only 30% to continue rolling into the next wave, and directly withdraw 70% of the earnings in USDT. With small capital, this is how it rolls round after round, and in the end, not only was the loss of 980,000 covered, but also a net profit of over 210,000 was made.

This logic is not complicated; the core is risk management and discipline execution. The market will always come, but not many people will survive to that moment.

Hey, this guy's mentality is really tough. Losing 980,000 and still able to get back up, I truly admire that.

Ah, really... is that true? 3500 turned into 380,000? Brother, your mental quality is comparable to a steel soldier. --- Full Position is indeed a harvesting machine in the crypto world, how many people have become long-term investors just because they couldn't bear to sell and got trapped? --- Stop loss at 15% and then exit? Sometimes it feels like this requirement is a bit strict, but thinking it over... staying alive is the most important thing. --- I've heard the saying about not guessing the top or the bottom many times, but those who can really do it are indeed as rare as a phoenix feather, easy to say but hard to execute. --- Rolling over to exit is indeed a strategy for small funds, but it tests execution ability, there are too few people who can hold onto profits. --- Did it really hold from 980,000 to 3500 without going crazy? If it were me, I would have probably just given up long ago, this rebound is almost despair literature. --- Risk Management sounds simple, but it's really just about not being greedy... but why are those two words so difficult?

980,000 disappeared in one night, this wave is indeed harsh. But to be honest, I've heard a lot about turning 3,500 into 380,000; the key is whether we can analyze the real logic behind it. I agree with not having a full position, but exiting at 15%? That feels a bit conservative. Risk management is indeed a prerequisite for survival, but the market doesn't always cooperate.
