#ETH走势分析 Last year, a friend of mine took a huge hit in the crypto market, losing 360,000 in her account. During that period, she barely went out, staring at her phone all day—her eyes were sunken in.

When we met again, her account had just over 3,600 USDT left. She told me she saw two options: either quit the crypto space entirely or take this small amount of capital and start over. In the end, she chose the latter.

Interestingly, over the next few months, that 3,600 USDT slowly grew to over 100,000. She not only made up for the 360,000 loss but even earned an extra 30,000 on top. I was really curious how she managed to do it.

She later summed up three trading disciplines she learned from her losses.

**The first is position management.** She used to go all-in, betting everything on the market, but now she changed—never investing more than 25% of her account into any single trade. She also strictly enforced her stop-loss: if a loss reached 10%, she would have to close the position. She put it simply: "As long as the account survives, there’s always a chance to make a comeback. Getting liquidated is the real dead end."

**The second is following the trend.** She gave up on trying to time the bottom or the top, and instead just went with the trend. If the market was going up, she went long; if it was going down, she took small short positions. With this approach, there was a day she made over 6,000 USDT in a single day, and the returns were much more stable compared to her previous frequent trading.

**The third is the toughest—restraining the desire for profit.** After every profitable trade, she only left 15% of the profits in to keep trading, withdrawing the rest to her wallet. It sounds simple, but very few people actually do this. Her logic was: "It’s okay to make money slowly—the real danger is losing your principal out of greed."

Interestingly, she later shared this method with her friends. Some went from 2,000 USDT to over 8,000 USDT; others who were close to liquidation got her timely reminder to stop losses and avoided disaster.

To put it bluntly, she wasn’t some trading genius—she just mastered the basics: controlling her actions and desires. In the crypto market, there’s no such thing as an absolute dead end; the key is to stick to the basic rules. Even with a small amount of capital, if you stick to trading discipline, you can gradually build up hope. Those successful traders are often just one step ahead in these details.
