In a volatile market, some people lose miserably, while others turn the tables. Three months ago, the crypto world experienced a severe adjustment, and one trader's account retraced over 40%, with a maximum loss of 200,000 U. During that time, there were voices around him urging him to back off, but he did not close all positions and rug pull; instead, he focused on reviewing his trades.

Recently, when BTC started a major upward wave from $84,000 and rose to $89,000, he relied on a trading discipline honed through painful lessons, not only turning his account from loss to profit but also setting new highs. This methodology seems simple, but it is accumulated from real losses.

**He summarized 5 iron rules:**

The first rule is to trade with a light position for trial and error. Only use 10%-15% of your funds for a single position, and only increase your position with floating profits after the trend is confirmed. The principal amount should never be touched. The benefit of this approach is that you can withstand fluctuations, and if you're wrong, you won't suffer significant losses.

The second rule is to strictly control drawdowns. Set the stop-loss level before entering each trade, and if a single trade incurs a loss of more than 3%, cut it immediately, without giving yourself a chance to cling to it. Stop-loss is like insurance; its value lies in execution.

The third rule is to roll over positions in a trend. When there is profit, don't rush to withdraw; convert everything into margin for the next order. Use the money earned from the market to go for the next wave of profits, thus shifting the risk cost from your own pocket to the portion earned from the market.

The fourth rule is to only follow the trend. In mid-December, when BTC was still hovering below $88,000, his choice was to remain in cash and wait. Not all fluctuations are worth participating in; sometimes, staying out of the market is the best trading decision.

The fifth rule is to take profits in batches. Never close all positions at once. Last week when BTC surged to $89,000, I first sold 30% of my account positions to lock in some profits, then sold 50% after a pullback, leaving 20% to continue to benefit from the extended market.

**The real reversal process:** In the first week, I made a steady profit of 8000U by catching small fluctuations in ETH; in the second week, I rolled over the floating profit just in time for the TON market to rise by 4.08%, directly tripling the profit; in the third week, I timed the main rise of BTC perfectly, and the account started to take off.

The total market value of the crypto world is currently at an 8-month low, but opportunities are never lacking in the market; what is truly lacking is execution power and risk control awareness. This trading framework was earned by this trader as a tuition fee of 200,000 U. Only those who can truly implement it may seize the windfall when BTC breaks through 90,000 USD next time.
