#数字资产市场动态 Some time ago, I helped a trader who was about to give up by reviewing their account. Honestly, there’s nothing mysterious about it—just strictly follow five rules. In three months, they went from a loss of 200,000 to reaching a new high.
How did they do it? Let me tell you—
**Step 1: Don’t go all in right away.** Start with only 10%-15% of your initial capital. Use small amounts to get a feel for the market’s temperament. Once the trend truly stabilizes, use the floating profits to add to your position. The benefit of this approach is that even if your first few trades lose, your principal remains intact. Many people break down at this stage.
**Step 2: Setting a stop-loss is more important than setting a take-profit.** Before entering a trade, determine your loss limit. Once the loss hits 3%, turn around and exit. Don’t hope for a market rebound, and don’t hold onto losing positions. Losing money isn’t scary; what’s scary is losing without understanding why or losing endlessly.
**Step 3: Don’t rush to withdraw profits when you’re in the green.** Before confirming floating profits, keep rolling them over to seek bigger gains. You’ll find your mindset becomes more stable because you’re not losing your principal—just the market’s money. Your initial capital is always protected.
**Step 4: Focus on one thing: the main upward wave.** During sideways consolidation, take a break and don’t participate. Avoid the beginning and end of the move; focus only on the most certain middle segment. Missing out is okay—mistakes are the real danger.
**Step 5: Take profits in stages when the price rises.** Exit in three parts: one-third, one-third, and the final third. Lock in profits while leaving some room for further gains. Greed at the end usually results in losses.
This friend started with small gains in the first week to build confidence, then rolled over profits in the second week, and finally caught a major upward wave in the third week, bringing their account back to life. Opportunities are everywhere in the market every day; what’s truly scarce is the discipline to wait and the rules to hold onto. Slow is fast, and stability is the key to success.

Wait, I need to track the flow of funds in this account. A 200,000 loss in three months and then a complete turnaround? Can on-chain data show such a level of fund movement...

Stop-loss is really the Achilles' heel for most people. It looks simple, but very few can actually execute it.

Stop-loss is really a lifesaver; so many people have lost their lives because of the phrase "It will definitely rebound."

Once again, it's the same old "discipline wins" rhetoric, I've heard it too many times... But this time, there's actually something to it, especially that strict 3% stop-loss rule, which is much smarter than those who hold on during blue-chip projects' collapses that I've seen before.
