#以太坊大户持仓变化 That guy lost $200,000 trading cryptocurrencies before he realized it.

He came to me when his account was only left with 5,000U, looking confused. I looked through his trading records—typical retail trader disease: chasing highs and selling lows, frequent operations, no strategy at all.

I just said one thing: "Trade less, trade steadily, first lock the risks in a cage."

He took it to heart. After adjusting his strategy, he would invest 10% of his principal each time he entered the market, never hesitating to take profits or cut losses, sticking to the plan and not making reckless changes. After three months of persistence, his account grew from 5,000 to 210,000.

He told me something I think is very right: "The real tuition fee is paid out of losses."

Many people are still losing money now, but actually it's just because they haven't found the right rhythm. It’s not about trading frequently, nor about going all-in. Discipline, patience, and respect for risk—these three are the foundation of account growth. Trading doesn’t need to be complicated; it just needs persistence.

Oh no, this is a classic case of "cutting the leeks first and then gaining enlightenment." Turning 5,000U into 210,000U is indeed impressive, but this story is a bit too perfect...

50,000 to 210,000? This guy has really woken up, but to be honest, most people still can't change this bad habit. This statement hits hard: "The real tuition is paid out of losses"—it sounds simple, but sticking with it is much harder than it seems.

That's right, it's such a simple thing, but most people still can't change. Going from 5,000 to 210,000 sounds pretty impressive, but the core is just one thing—discipline. I also paid a lot of tuition to understand this. Really, the words "stop loss" are easy to say, but when it comes to execution, you just have to endure. The biggest enemy of human nature is oneself.

A tuition of 200,000 dollars is a bit expensive... but this guy really wakes up quickly, otherwise he would have continued to lose money. The "move less, move steadily" approach is indeed foolproof, but most people find it easy to listen and hard to stick to. Going from 5,000 to 210,000 in three months, honestly, doesn't sound that exaggerated; in fact, it's more credible. Discipline is more valuable than any technical analysis, but unfortunately, not many people can truly achieve it.

This is the real deal. The guy who went from 5,000 to 210,000 truly understood it, much better than most people.

50,000 to 210,000? That's really impressive, but very few people can truly stick with it.

Really, this is what I often say—the lesson learned after losing 200,000, something others take years to learn. The process from 5,000 to 210,000 is simply about fixing those fatal flaws; stop-loss is truly a lifesaver.
