The most brutal truth in the #PIPPIN transaction: losses are never caused by the market, but by losing control.

Last Monday, a brother reached out to me.

His account went from hundreds of thousands U, all the way down to only 5 thousand U.

It wasn't a black swan, nor was he targeted by anyone, but it was a typical case of a complete rhythm collapse.

His state is actually something many people have experienced:

High-frequency trading, chaotic actions, with transaction fees being more "active" than directional judgments;

Holding onto unrealized gains, stubbornly enduring drawdowns;

While comforting himself that "a bull market is coming," he ended up receiving a liquidation reminder.

The most fatal part is emotionally driven trading:

Seeing others flaunt their profits, he heavily invested;

Seeing a decline, he fantasized about a reversal.

In the end, only a string of cold numbers remained in his account.

I only told him one thing:

The deeper the loss, the less one can shoot randomly; one must survive like a sniper.

Next, I had him do only three things.

First, only participate in deterministic markets.

Stay away from 1-minute noise, return to the 4-hour structure.

If the market hasn’t developed, it’s better to stay out.

No more than three trades a day; if you feel restless, missing out is a cost, making mistakes is fatal.

Second, roll over instead of going all in.

Always trade lightly for trial and error, using profits to bear risks:

The first order should not exceed 10%;

Take half of the profit when reaching 20%;

Move the stop-loss for the remaining position;

Immediately reduce the position if there’s a 5% drawdown, don’t confront the market head-on.

Third, discipline is above all technicalities.

If there are two consecutive losses, one must stop;

Review daily, analyze profits for methods, seek logic for losses;

Never harbor the illusion of "waiting a little longer for it to come back"—that’s the softest lie before a liquidation.

Later, this account gradually stabilized, slowly recovering from 5 thousand U.

He asked me: "Why didn’t anyone tell me these things earlier?"

The answer is simple:

Most people are not trading, but gambling.

Conclusion

The real counterattack in the crypto circle never relies on heavy positions turning around,

but rather on risk control, discipline, and time.

Stop-loss is the bottom line;

Rhythm is survival ability;

As long as the account is still there, you always have the next opportunity.

If you can understand this, you are already more awake than most.

Survive first, then profit will come to you.
