#数字资产动态追踪 $ZEC People who are crushed by losses often die in a vicious cycle— the more they lose, the more they want to turn things around; the bigger their actions, the more they lose.

I've seen too many accounts shrink little by little like this.

I have a real story about a friend. His account was down to 20,000 USDT, just one candle away from liquidation. What happened after half a year? It grew to 140,000 USDT. No black tech, no insider info, just one core insight: markets are always there, but truly your opportunities are few and far between in a year. $TRADOOR $TAKE

Missing an opportunity is far more costly than making a wrong trade.

**Why are people who lose money so impatient?**

Observe those who keep losing—they almost all have the same problem: chasing every rise, rushing on every news, afraid to miss any candle. And then what happens when they lose? No stop-loss, stubbornly holding on, fantasizing that the next moment will rebound.

As a result, one wrong move and the account is gone again.

By the later stage, their mindset completely collapses: "Since I’ve lost so much anyway, I might as well gamble it all." At this point, it’s no longer trading; it’s purely emotional betting. And the market loves to harvest exactly these impatient, heavily leveraged traders.

**The first step to turning things around is actually learning to "not lose"**

I set three strict rules for that buddy:

First, position sizing.

Divide 20,000 USDT into 5 parts, only trade one part at a time. Once that part is lost, stop immediately—don’t give yourself a chance to keep trading.

Second, stop-loss must be enforced.

Maximum loss per trade = 3% of total funds. No feelings, no surprises—exceeding that is a mistake.

Third, only trade what you know best.

He’s good at swing breakouts, so he only trades breakouts. No matter how tempting other opportunities are, he ignores them.

After three weeks? The account went from 20,000 to 40,000. Not a huge profit, but losses were significantly reduced. Position sizing plus stop-loss directly broke the fear that "one mistake can wipe out the account." Once the mindset stabilizes, the hands naturally become steadier.

**What’s next? Two words: patience.**

Genuine profit opportunities never require full position every day. The market isn’t short of opportunities; what’s missing is patience—waiting for the right moment to act.
