The huge loss last year completely stopped me. I didn't have the urge to jump back in immediately; instead, I spent several months truly reflecting on my trading logic. When I restarted my account earlier this year, I only invested $21,000, and my mindset became more stable. Now, the account's net value has grown to 1.45 million. Looking back, the turning point wasn't about finding some secret, but about respecting risk.

A recent example of a typical AT long position trade: I built a position around $0.152, and closed it all at $0.198, with a single trade return of 30%, earning $11,400. I make a few such trades each month. It may not sound like much, but slow and steady, the account gradually grows.

Honestly, many traders fail because of greed. They rush to double their money, but end up getting wiped out. My principles are actually quite simple:

**First, never risk more than 40% of total funds in a single position.** This way, even if a judgment is wrong once, you won't be wiped out.

**Second, set stop-losses in advance and stick to them.** Most people don't lose much but hold on until they suffer a big loss.

**Third, follow the trend, don't try to predict.** Admit that you can't see the top or bottom clearly, which helps you survive longer.

**Fourth, after profits, reinvest 30%, and withdraw the remaining 70% regularly.** This way, you maintain the growth momentum of the account and truly consolidate gains.

Many traders who follow my approach have gone from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands, and some have slowly recovered from the brink of liquidation to stable profitability. The common point is that they all stick to discipline.

The market is indeed a bit cold now, but opportunities will always come. The key is, when the opportunity arrives, are your account and mindset ready?
