Regarding $RIVER and other cryptocurrencies trading, many people often ask me: I only have a few thousand U remaining in my account, can I turn things around?

Every time I hear this question, I think of a friend's experience. He lost 180,000 in three months, completely wiped out, trading with full positions every day, his mind filled with dreams of overnight riches. And what happened? The more anxious he was, the more he lost, and liquidation became a daily routine. In the end, he was so desperate that he told me, rather than keep messing around, he might as well go home and count his losses.

I asked him: Do you want to try if there’s a way?

He nodded. Okay, I said, I can help you, but it has to be according to the rules, no exceptions.

So, I guided him step by step back from the edge of the cliff. The process isn’t that complicated; it’s just four steps.

**Step 1: Stop Loss and Rest**

I told him to clear his account and stay away from the trading interface for three or five days, not even look at candlesticks. Then, only put in 20% of his total funds, with one goal: to stay alive. Don’t think about recovering losses first; just ensure you don’t get liquidated. During this process, your mindset will gradually calm down, and greedy thoughts will slowly fade away. Many people don’t understand why to do this; it’s actually to reboot your brain and return to rationality.

**Step 2: Establish a Trading Framework**

Avoid small coins and air coins; focus only on mainstream coins. Before executing each trade, write down three things: why you are entering, where to place the stop loss, and where you expect to exit. After each trade, review it—ask yourself why you made money or why you lost. Stick to this for a month, and you’ll notice an interesting phenomenon—losing money isn’t really a market problem; it’s because you have no rules.

**Step 3: The Art of Money Management**

Remember one thing: principal is life, profit is the bullets. What does this mean? Only use the profits to add positions; never touch the principal. If you lose two or three times in a row, immediately reduce your position size—don’t stubbornly hold on. Conversely, after a series of wins, force yourself to rest for a day the next day. This isn’t being fragile; it’s protecting yourself. The harshest punishment in the market often comes from those easy gains—pride can lead to trouble.

**Step 4: Build a System**

Stick with this for half a year, and you’ll find trading becomes a habit. Review your trades regularly each month, set clear numerical goals, and rely on discipline for entries and exits. It will feel like this process has been completely eliminated. Executing stop loss becomes as natural as breathing, with no psychological barriers.

Honestly, I can’t guarantee how much you’ll make using this method, but at least it will keep you alive until your opportunity comes. The market is right there, the opportunities are right there, the question is whether you are alive to seize that moment.

The abyss is right beneath your feet, I’ve turned on the light for you—whether you want to climb up or not, that choice is yours.
