I lost 300,000 in a liquidation and had only 1 left. He asked me what to do.
A follower asked me: “I don’t understand candlestick charts, and I’m out of the loop on news. Is there any way I can make a profit every day?” It’s a good question. Here’s a real comeback story—but let me be clear first: there’s no way to make money every single day. If there were, it would be to stop trying to stay afloat.
A follower messaged me: “I got liquidated and lost 300,000. There’s only 10,000 left in my account, and I’m close to falling apart. What would you do? Go all in? Gamble on the news? Or leave trading altogether?” He took my advice and used the simplest method. In five months, he not only made his money back but also netted 50,000.
Stop trading first, then review your trades. I told him to close all positions for a week. His only task: go through every losing trade, one by one. It turned out that 90% of his losses came down to two things: chasing rises and selling into falls, completely driven by emotion; and treating stop-losses as if they didn’t exist—turning what could have been a small loss into a huge one.
Etch these hard rules in stone: no more than 5% loss on any single trade, and a daily loss limit of 10%. That way, the market can’t wipe you out in one fell swoop again. Those who set firm limits live to trade another day.
Let profits compound, but take your principal out. Only trade BTC and ETH at key support and resistance levels. Place stop-losses strictly just beyond those key levels. Once you’re up 5%, immediately withdraw your principal and trade with the profits. Even if you’re wrong, your foundation stays intact, and the psychological pressure drops instantly. With less pressure, your hand stays steady.
Split your position and lie in wait for the right moment. Take 2,000, split it into three parts, and use them to lie in wait for small-cap coins. Don’t buy at random. Look for two things: major on-chain holders haven’t sold yet, and the amount circulating on exchanges is decreasing. If you don’t understand these two things, don’t get in. Using this approach, he grew 10,000 to 150,000 in three months. Now his account is holding steady at just over 200,000, and his mindset has changed too.
Having just 10,000 left is never the end of the road. Most people who go under are in a rush to make their money back. The more they lose, the more they want to gamble—and the deeper they get. The people who truly survive don’t rely on being ruthless; they rely on staying steady. Keep your hands in check, stick to the rules, and time will give you the answer. If you’re impatient, you leave the answer up to the market.
I’ve written about whether to stop and how to cap each trade’s loss at 5% in @波段王龙哥 . If you’re still getting liquidated again and again and want to go all in to win it back, leave a comment with how much you have left. I’ll only talk about whether to open a position this Monday, not how much to make every day.
