That year is one I will never forget. My account dropped from 20,000 U to just 300 U. I collapsed in front of the screen, unable to sleep all night, watching the candlesticks fall. That feeling was like losing everything at the gambling table.

But the next morning, I decided to change. No longer relying on luck, only discipline.

**The first thing is to learn how to survive.** I set a strict rule: no full positions, no all-in bets, no illusions of turning things around. Even if only 300 U remains, it must carry me through today. I take 30% of each profit, and the remaining profit becomes the principal for the next trade. Looks slow? Yes. But this way, I can never die.

**The second thing is to learn how to read the trend.** Don’t try to predict the top and bottom—that’s a gamble with a high risk of failure. I changed to only follow the current trend. Take profits when it’s time, cut losses when needed. The market never rewards impatience, only those who can wait.

**The third thing is to learn self-control.** Small positions with little profit? Acceptable. But if your positions are chaotic and your mindset collapses, even the chance to survive disappears. A stable mindset is the most valuable thing.

After three months, 300 U became 30,000 U. It’s not luck, but the result of countless stop-loss reviews and self-reflection in the early mornings.

Someone asked me the secret to turning things around. I can only smile and say: it’s about not being greedy, not panicking, and not making reckless moves. The crypto world never lacks people who can make money; what’s missing are those who can survive until the end.

The market is always there; opportunities pass in the blink of an eye. Staying steady in this market is more important than anything else—just survive long enough.
