Not long ago, a friend came to me looking worried and said, 'The ETH market is too harsh this time; I only have 2000U left in my account. If I can't turn this around, I might as well quit the game.

He's not a beginner, but he has always relied on his instincts for trading, constantly chasing highs and lows. When he gets too emotional, he makes random trades, losing two to three thousand in a single day, and his account is completely wiped out.

I laughed when I heard this and told him, 'That 2000U you have is not meant for a gamble to turn things around; it's meant to pave the way for your future.

Too many people think that turning things around relies on one big bet, which is completely wrong. True recovery is never about 'gambling'; it’s about steadily moving forward and patiently accumulating little by little.

I pointed out three paths for him, simple but useful:

First, learn to stabilize yourself; don't act recklessly.

In the past, he couldn't help but rush in whenever he saw market movement, always buying at high points and selling at low points. I told him to stay in cash until the trend is clear. Don't panic when the market rises or falls; it's better to miss out than to follow blindly. Staying in cash is the best way to protect your capital.

Second, strictly control your position size and protect your bottom line.

Use a maximum of 400U per trade; always keep the risk in your own hands. He used to lose 2000 in a day, but now he gradually makes three to five hundred on a single trade. Every trade must have a stop loss; if it loses, accept it, and never stubbornly hold on until liquidation, cut the risk off at the beginning.

Third, persist in reviewing trades and refining your thought process.

At first, he complained that this was too slow, wondering how long it would take to recover. I told him that slow is the most stable route. Regardless of profit or loss, review each trade carefully to understand what went right and what went wrong. Slowly, his thought process will become clearer, and his mindset will stabilize.

Two months later, he grew his 2000U into 90,000U. It was not luck, not a sudden explosion, but all about rhythm and discipline, accumulated bit by bit.

Maybe you currently have only a few thousand U left and feel the market is too tough, feeling like you're about to break down. But turning things around is never a one-day affair; it's about taking one step at a time, enduring loneliness, and sticking to the rules.

The market always has opportunities; what it lacks are those who can control their hands and steady their hearts. Don’t rush to achieve everything at once; as long as you patiently execute and move forward steadily, we’re not afraid of being slow, just afraid that you’ll give up first.

The next wave of the market is already on its way; don’t miss it again. This time, use discipline to seize the turnaround opportunity that truly belongs to you.
