I have also experienced moments when the market 'pierced my soul.' But later I realized one thing: those who survive in the crypto world are not the smartest, but the most disciplined.
Last year, I started over with 3400U, and in the end, not only did I recover my losses, but I also made an additional profit of over 500,000U—not through miraculous operations, but through three rules etched into my bones.
First rule: Never go all in; this is the bottom line. I divide my funds into three parts, and I never open a position exceeding 40% of my capital. The remaining 60% is firmly locked away as 'emergency money.' If losses reach 15%, I cut my losses immediately; I never hold onto losing positions. As long as you don't get liquidated, you will always have the right to sit at the table.
Second rule: Follow the trend, do not speculate on tops and bottoms. In an uptrend, go long; in a downtrend, be brave enough to short; never operate against the trend. When profits reach 12%, I will take profits on half and set a trailing stop for the remaining portion. Catch the fish in the middle, leaving the head and tail for others.
Third rule: Profits must be taken. Every time I make a profit, I withdraw 30% to my cold wallet. No matter how good the account numbers look, they are just numbers; only what is in the wallet is real money. Many people get liquidated after doubling their capital because they are unwilling to realize their profits.
The cruel truth in the crypto world is: you don't need to get the market direction right every time, but you must execute the right operations every time. Set stop-loss points; when they hit, you must cut; when planned profit targets are reached, you must exit. Use rules to lock in emotions and use discipline to conquer the market; this is the only right path for small capital to turn around.
