That was three years ago. A huge loss of 360,000 almost broke me, smashing my computer, disappearing for half a year, with sunken eyes—I really thought my life was over.

But sometimes despair can be a turning point.

Later, I met an older brother in a coffee shop. He had only 3,600 USDT left in his account. He didn’t avoid the issue; instead, he looked at me with determined eyes and said, "Either completely quit or use this money to start over." I was shocked by his attitude.

What happened next was even more shocking—he turned that 3,600 USDT into over 100,000, not only filling the 360,000 gap but also earning an extra 30,000.

I asked him what his secret was, and he summarized three iron rules:

**First: Position Discipline**

"Full position is a dead end." He said straightforwardly, "Single trade size should not exceed 25% of the account. If floating loss reaches 10%, you must cut losses. As long as the account is alive, opportunities will always exist." It sounds simple, but most people can’t do it—greed always defeats reason.

**Second: Trading Logic**

"Bottom fishing and top escaping are gambling games." He switched to trend-following—buying lightly when the market rises, controlling exposure when it falls. He made over 6,000 in one trade, not because he guessed the right direction, but because he strictly followed chart trends.

**Third: Profit Handling**

"Only 15% of the profits are reinvested; the rest is withdrawn." This habit is crucial. "Making money slowly is fine, but greed will wipe out the principal." I’ve seen too many people earn 50% early on, only to lose everything in the last wave of market oscillation.

He’s not a genius; he just learned self-discipline. Later, people around him also tasted success—some turned 2,000 USDT into 8,000, and others avoided a wipeout when he stopped them just in time.

The crypto market has never lacked opportunities; what’s missing is execution and risk management awareness. Small funds can grow steadily if you stick to the rules and don’t let a single mistake ruin the entire account.
