Some time ago, a brother of mine reached out to me, saying that the ETH market was turbulent and his account had dwindled to only 2000 USDT. He wasn't inexperienced, but he always relied on his instincts to trade, chasing the highs and lows, getting emotional, and could lose two to three thousand in a single day, which directly wiped out his account. He helplessly said, 'If I can't turn this around, I'm going to quit the circle.' I smiled at him and said, 'This 2000 USDT isn't meant for gambling to double; it's for building a foundation for the future.' Many people mistakenly believe that turning things around relies on a sudden explosion; that's a big mistake—real turnarounds don't come from 'gambling it all,' but from steady and gradual accumulation.
I pointed out three paths for him, simple yet effective:
First, learn to stay calm and don't act rashly. In the past, he couldn't help but jump into the market whenever he stared at it, and his chasing the highs and lows always landed him in the pit of 'buying at high points and selling at low points.' I told him, 'If the market hasn't moved, just stay in cash.' Don't get anxious when it doesn't rise, and don't panic when it doesn't fall; it's better to miss opportunities than to blindly follow the crowd; staying in cash is the best protection for your capital.
Second, strictly control your position and maintain your bottom line. Each trade should have a maximum entry of 400 USDT, keeping the risks manageable. He used to lose 2000 in a single day, but now he can steadily gain 300 or 500; every trade must have a stop loss; accept losses and never stubbornly hold on until liquidation, extinguishing risks at the source.
Third, persist in reviewing trades and optimizing strategies. Initially, he doubted, 'Is it possible to turn it around so slowly?' I replied, 'Slow is the most stable.' After each trade, regardless of profit or loss, spend time reviewing to understand what was done right and where mistakes were made. Gradually, his trading logic became clearer, and his mindset more composed.
Two months later, his account grew from 2000 USDT to 90,000 USDT. There was no luck involved, no single explosive moment, just steady progress and gradual accumulation through rhythm and discipline.
You may only have a few thousand USDT left now, feeling disheartened and thinking the market is too difficult. But I want to say that turning things around is never an overnight affair; it's about taking one step at a time, enduring loneliness, and adhering to discipline. The market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks are people who can stick to the rules and control their emotions.
Don't rush to achieve results; just patiently execute. We are not afraid of being slow; we are only afraid that you will give up. The next wave of opportunities is right in front of you, and I hope you don't miss it again. Use discipline and patience to catch your own chance for a turnaround! @招财阿宝
