At three in the morning, I received a private message from a fan that struck deep: 'Analyst, I lost 274,000 stable assets, and now I can't even pay the rent. Can I still make a comeback?'
I stared at the screen and sighed. This is already the 12th retail investor this week asking, 'Can I break even overnight?'. My answer has always been the same: Yes, but the prerequisite is that you first throw the 'gambling mentality' into the trash, and treat trading as a skill to practice, rather than a lottery ticket to scratch.
As someone who has been in the crypto market for 8 years, I have seen too many people go from debt to profit, and I have also seen too many people turn 'buying the dip' into 'losing everything'. Today, I will sincerely share 3 key insights for a comeback. Understand them and follow them, and next time the market moves, we can all benefit together!
1. First 'survive': living is more important than anything.
The root of losses is never about having little capital, but about your uncontrollable urge to trade! I've seen too many retail investors fall into three traps:
Acting on impulse and going all in, calling it 'taking risks for wealth', only to be crushed when the main force pulls back;
Emotionally stubborn against the trend, buying the dip, and getting more trapped the more you buy, ultimately watching your account go from five digits to two.
Entering the market without understanding anything, following others saying 'this coin can multiply by 10', thinking you are picking up money, but in reality, you are just warming the main force.
Remember: you weren't defeated by the market, but by your own 'greed' and 'foolishness'!
The first step to turning the tables is to immediately cut your position! No matter how much you are losing now, keep your position within 20% — this is not being timid, it's saving bullets for opportunities. When in debt, don't think about 'recovering overnight', first think about 'how to avoid losing more'. The market is never short of opportunities; what's lacking are those who can survive until the opportunities come.
2. Follow the trend: don't go 'against the market'.
The dumbest operation I've seen is stubbornly holding 'long positions' in a downtrend and sticking with 'short positions' in an uptrend — this isn't trading; it's just giving your head to the market!
My trading iron rules are just three; remember them, and you can reduce losses by 80%:
Go with strong trends: if the market is rising, go long; if it’s falling, go short; don’t think about 'guessing tops and bottoms', the trend is smarter than you.
In a sideways market, take light positions: for example, if the price is fluctuating in a range, use 5%-10% of your position to test the waters; confirm the direction before adding to your position, take profits and don't be greedy.
No trend means stay flat: if you open the K-line and see that it’s been flat for half a month with no movement? Just close the software and binge-watch a series! Not trading is the most stable way to profit.
The market won't change direction just because you 'refuse to accept it', but the initiative is in your hands. Don't be a 'rebel' against the market; be a 'follower' of the trend — if you follow correctly, you can earn even while lying down.
3. Hard strategy: executing on the ground is the way to go.
Many retail investors understand technicals, can read MACD and Bollinger Bands, yet still can't make money — the problem lies in 'execution'!
The core of my fans' guaranteed profits lies in three 'dead rules': whoever breaks them will lose.
The stop-loss line must be clear: set it before entering, and cut losses immediately at 5%-8%; don't think 'waiting a bit will make it rise', what you’ll likely wait for is a zero balance!
Position ratios must be managed: single coin positions should never exceed 10%, even if you are optimistic about the project, don't put all your eggs in one basket;
Entry logic must be clear: don't enter just because 'others are buying'; it must meet the three conditions of 'trend + volume + support level', missing any of them means don't touch.
Stability is always more reliable than high profits! Those who tell you 'double your money in a day' are either scammers or gamblers. I've seen people clear 200,000 in debt in a year with monthly profits of 10%-15%; that's the path retail investors should take.
Lastly, let me say something from the heart: I understand that feeling of staring at the screen until your eyes are blind at dawn, losing a single trade that wipes out half a month's salary, and the suffocating weight of debt. Many people are trapped in a vicious cycle, not because they aren't trying, but because no one is showing them a clear path.
Follow me, and when the next market opportunity comes, we can feast together and recover all the losses!
