#ETH走势分析 $200,000 reduced to just $5,000—this isn’t a joke.
A little after 1 pm, my phone suddenly buzzed several times. When I checked, it was a screenshot from a friend I hadn’t spoken to in ages. The account balance section showed a glaring four-digit number.
He sent a voice message, and his voice was totally different: “I’m really done for this time.”
I asked him to send over his transaction records. Man, during that SHIB pump to the top, he went all-in with 10x leverage. The trade history was even crazier—forty or fifty trades in a single day, and just the fees alone ate up a huge chunk.
Held on. Added more. Held again. Added even more.
He had only one thought in his head: “The bull market will definitely come back.” The result? Zeroed out.
Honestly, he just got driven crazy by FOMO. Saw other people posting screenshots of shitcoins going up 100x, got caught up in the hype, jumped in, and woke up to find his account nearly empty.
I didn’t comfort him. Because what he needed wasn’t “It’s okay, bro, just be more careful next time”—he needed a way to survive.
So I forced him to do a few things.
**Only trade what you understand.**
He used to stare at the one-minute chart, crazily opening trades and getting more and more reckless. I told him: From now on, it’s better to miss out than to mess around. Only make a move when a clear signal appears on higher timeframes; if it’s unclear, just ignore it.
**Add more only after earning, cut losses quickly when losing.**
Each time, he could only use 10% of his capital to test the waters—say, $500. Made a 20% profit? Take half off the table to lock in gains, set a trailing stop on the rest and let it run on its own. No more going all-in and holding on for dear life.
**Stop-losses are your lifeline.**
Every trade must have a stop-loss set. Lost more than 5%? Cut it. No bargaining, no hesitation. Two stop-losses in a row? Turn off the computer. Once your emotions break down, it’s just a chain reaction of blow-ups.
Two months later, he messaged me: “I’m back up to $100,000.”
It wasn’t luck—it was surviving by sheer discipline.
Here’s the honest truth for everyone still losing money: The prerequisite for a comeback is not dying first. Before your account hits zero, learning how to lose less is a thousand times more important than learning how to make more.
Discipline always comes first. 99% of liquidations happen because people keep hoping, thinking “if I just hold on a bit longer, it’ll come back.”
There’s always opportunities in the market. But only those who survive to the end have the right to smile and count their money.

Damn, ten times leverage on SHIB with fifty trades in a single day... This guy is really treating his account like a casino.
Honestly, most people just can’t stick to stop-losses, they can’t get past the psychological hurdle.
Discipline > luck, that’s true but few people actually listen.
FOMO is dangerous—seeing others make 100x gains just makes you jealous.
Surviving is winning, that’s the real essence of trading.

200,000 down to 5,000? This guy is really playing Russian roulette. All-in on SHIB with 10x leverage, plus fifty trades a day—the transaction fees alone are a bloodbath. This is a classic case of being completely brainwashed by FOMO and losing all rationality. However, the logic at the end of the article is actually correct: only if you survive do you have a chance to turn things around; if you're out, it's truly over. Setting stop-losses, strictly controlling position sizes, only making moves in major cycles—it’s easy to say, but really tests human nature in practice. That guy managed to recover 100,000 in two months, so I guess he’s reflected on it enough. At least he didn’t blow up again.

All-in on SHIB with 10x leverage? This guy is really bold, maxing out the odds. But honestly, stop-losses are truly a lifeline—you have to know how to survive to win.

Honestly, going all-in on meme coins ends up like this, serves him right. I saw that wave of going all-in on SHIB with 10x leverage too, and I thought he'd get liquidated sooner or later. But to be fair, managing to make back 100k in two months does show some skill—better than 99% of people. Stop-loss is really just having the courage to cut your losses; most people just can't do it.
