In the crypto world, luck is not what matters; it's the methodology.
I've been in this market for many years and have seen too many people swing between getting rich overnight and being wiped out in an instant. Recently, I met an investor whose story might give you some inspiration—not about advanced technical analysis, but about understanding the market and execution.
This friend named A Le previously lost over 80% of his capital in trading. When he found me, he only had $61,000 left. To be honest, his emotions were close to breaking down at that time. My first words to him were: Stop dwelling on the past; today's market is your opportunity.
**Finding Opportunities Ignored by the Market**
After analyzing the market, I found that the FHE asset was significantly undervalued. At that time, the price was oscillating around 0.033U, and the candlestick chart already showed a clear bottom formation. More importantly, on-chain data indicated that large funds were quietly accumulating, which is usually a signal.
But signals are just signals; how to enter the market is the key.
**Phase One: Light Position Testing**
On January 3rd, I advised him to open a small position at 0.033. Why keep it light? Because the initial position size directly affects your subsequent mindset. Too large, and fluctuations will lead you to make wrong judgments; too small, and you won't earn much. Finding that critical point is very important.
The market indeed started to warm up. By the 7th, FHE rose to 0.042. At this point, many would want to hold on for bigger gains. But I told him to take half profits. Someone might ask why not sell everything? Because we have plans for the future. This is not about perfect prediction but about following trading discipline—part of the unrealized gains can be added to the position, but the principal must be protected first.
**Phase Two: Patience and Re-entry**
After selling, I told A Le to pause. The most testing part of trading is not the buy or sell decision but doing nothing and waiting. On the morning of the 9th, the market pulled back, and FHE dropped back to around 0.038. From on-chain data and technical analysis, this was an effective support level. Re-entering at this point becomes much more confident.
For the second entry, I emphasized a key principle: each additional position should not exceed 50% of the previous one. Why? Because this allows you to hold chips across multiple price ranges while controlling overall risk exposure.
**Thoughts on Position Management**
The root cause of many failures is not wrong market direction judgment but placing wrong bets on the right direction. Going all-in can win big, but when you lose, it can be devastating.
The reason A Le was able to emerge from his predicament is not because the market was particularly good, but because he learned to build positions in stages at different price levels, gradually optimizing his holdings amid volatility. Starting with a principal of $61,000, through phased operations, he successfully kept risk within manageable limits.
The market will always give opportunities to disciplined traders. The question is, can you seize them?

That's right, discipline is worth much more than luck. I only understood this after stepping into some pits myself.

To be honest, choosing between all-in and conservative is really the difference between heaven and hell. Just looking at position management, most people simply can't do it; their mindset will break first.

To be honest, going all-in is the most exciting, but those who truly last are the quiet ones who fold in batches. Unfortunately, few can endure that boring waiting period.

Going all-in is indeed exciting, but those who actually make money are often the ones who patiently build their positions in small batches... It's easy to say but hard to do.

That's very true. Discipline is worth much more than luck. The all-in approach ultimately is mostly a self-destructive move.
