#数字货币市场洞察 Last year, I watched helplessly as someone close to me took a massive loss in the crypto market—360,000 just vanished like that.

In that moment, she was shattered. She smashed her computer, deleted her apps, isolated herself, and barely left her room for two months. When I knocked on her door, all I could hear was an eerily quiet silence. When we finally met again, her eyes were sunken, her hands shook as she held her phone, her account balance was nearly zero, and she laughed at herself, saying, “I might never recover from this in my life.”

But I knew she still had that unwillingness to give up.

This spring, she reached out to me. After we ordered coffee, she suddenly pulled out her phone—there were only 3,600 USDT left in her account. “Either I quit for good, or I use this little bit to start over,” and I saw that spark return in her eyes.

No one expected that these 3,600 USDT would become her comeback capital. In just a few months, she grew it from a few thousand to over 100,000, not only making up the 360,000 loss, but also earning an extra 30,000.

Later, she shared with me that it was all thanks to three iron rules forced on her by that painful loss.

**The first rule is position sizing**—she used to love going all in, but never again. Each trade never exceeds 25% of her total capital, and if she loses 10%, she immediately cuts her losses. “As long as the account is alive, there's always a chance to turn things around,” she repeated this to me several times.

**The second rule is trend trading**—she completely gave up on trying to catch tops and bottoms, and now just follows the market trend. She adds to her position when the market is going up, and stays light when it’s going down. Once, she made over 6,000 USDT in a single day just by sticking to this.

**The third rule is even more ruthless**—strict control over profits. Every time she makes money, she only keeps 15% of the profits to keep trading, and withdraws the rest to lock it in. “I’m not afraid to earn slowly, I’m only afraid of being greedy and losing my principal.”

She’s not some crypto influencer, she just learned to discipline herself.

Now, the people around her are following her lead. Someone turned 2,000 USDT into over 8,000; someone else avoided liquidation at the last minute thanks to her timely reminder to cut losses. The crypto market has never been a dead end—the real difference is in those willing to stick to the rules. No matter how little your capital is, you can slowly build hope, bit by bit.
