At two in the morning, the phone vibrated $BTC

It was a message from fan Aya, with a crying tone: "Teacher, the 18000U heavy position contract has exploded, and there are only 1500U left. This is all my savings, I really have no way out." $BCH

I didn't make her rush to recover, just transmitted three trading iron rules:

First, when opening a position, always set a stop-loss. The bottom position's loss should never exceed 5%. For a 1500U position, if the loss exceeds 75U, exit immediately;

Second, never blindly average down. Only wait for mainstream coins to pull back to key support levels, and only enter with small positions when there is volume stabilization;

Third, only add positions in clear trends. Must wait for a breakthrough of previous highs with supporting volume before adding positions accordingly.

She followed this with the last glimmer of hope.

In the first month, she steadily increased from 1500U to 2700U;

In the second month, she found the right rhythm, relying on several steady average down and adding positions, her account surged to 6800U;

In the third month, with the ETH one-sided market starting, she strictly held her position according to the strategy, and when the market ended, her account directly soared to 42000U.

In three months, she multiplied her capital by 28 times, not only recovering the 18000U loss from the liquidation but also netting a profit of 24000U.

Later, she sent several voice messages, her tone barely concealing her excitement: "It turns out it wasn't the market that was harming me, it was that I previously never calculated how much I had lost, always thinking about making a big bet on a heavy position!"

In fact, this has never been luck. Starting from 1500U, she locked in the risks for every trade, did not greedily average down, and only chased certainties when adding positions. The slowly accumulated small profits finally concentrated and realized when the market arrived.

Recently, I’ve seen many posts in the crypto circle filled with the negativity of "another liquidation" and "the market harvesting retail investors."

I remembered her initial predicament with 1500U and understood that the core of trading is never luck, but letting go of wishful thinking. Some people can lose everything even with hundreds of thousands of U, while others can steadily recover with 1500U. The difference lies in whether one is willing to control risks and accept gradual profits.

The crypto circle never lacks opportunities; what it lacks are those who start with 1500U and respect the market, adhering to discipline.

Those with fate will understand, while those without it, even if taught hand-in-hand, will ultimately repeat the mistake of "making a big bet on a heavy position." @juice13
