#鲍威尔讲话 My cousin had a huge setback in the crypto market last year, losing 360,000 directly.

That night she sat in the living room, staring blankly at her phone screen, and finally deleted all the apps. The phone fell onto the coffee table, and the screen shattered with a sound.
"I liquidated everything." Her voice was very soft, but her eyes were red all around.

After that, she locked herself in her room and hardly went out for a full five days.
I tried to knock on the door to chat, but she only said she was reviewing, her tone calm to the point of being heartbreaking. The one who used to talk animatedly about the market at the dinner table now seems to have suddenly lost her voice.

By the time she truly stepped out, it was already spring.
We agreed to meet at the café outside the community, she ordered an Americano, and then opened her wallet to show me—account balance: 3600U.
"That's all," she took a sip of coffee, "but I still want to give it a try."
There is an indescribable stubbornness in the eyes.

I didn't expect that this money really worked out for her.
From a few thousand U to over a hundred thousand, not only did I fill the hole, but I also made a net profit of more than thirty thousand.
When I met her, I asked her how she did it, and she smiled and said, "It was all because I was scared after that loss."

She showed me a set of rules she had summarized herself.
First is position control: do not exceed 25% of total funds for a single position, and immediately cut losses if the floating loss reaches 10%.
"I used to think that holding on for a while could help me break even, but now I understand that preserving the principal is more important than anything else."

Secondly, it is to go with the flow.
She no longer attempts to accurately buy the dip or sell the top, but instead looks at the trend: if the market is going up, she takes a small long position, and if it is going down, she tentatively shorts.
Once, she caught a wave of a pullback and made over 5,000 U in a day.

What surprised me the most was her restraint.
Take only 15% of each profit for reinvestment, and transfer the rest to the cold wallet.
"Slow is slow," she said, "at least it won't reset to zero again."

She is not a tech genius, she just learned to control her desires.
Later, she also helped friends grow from 2000U to over 9000, and advised a few people who were about to be liquidated to cut their losses in time.

This market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks is the ability to survive.
Stick to the discipline, even if the principal is small, you can always wait for the day of turning around.

Many people are stuck in place, not because they are not trying hard enough, but because they lack someone who understands to guide them.
The market is always there, and opportunities do not wait for anyone—only by finding the right direction can one truly get out of the quagmire.
