#数字资产市场动态 After losing 2 million, why are some people able to turn things around in half a year?
There is a phenomenon in the crypto world that hits hard: most losers either go all-in and try to double down, or they simply sell off and exit. Those who lose badly often see no way out.
But there are also others who take a different path.
This trader once lost 2 million completely, almost giving up on the crypto scene. The turning point came the moment he decided to completely change his trading approach — no longer relying on gut feelings, but executing strictly according to a systematic risk management plan.
His turnaround looks "stupidly" simple:
**Position Allocation**: Divide the principal into ten parts, never invest more than 15% in a single trade, always keep ammunition for a comeback. No all-in gambles.
**Stop-Loss Discipline**: If a single loss hits 3%, close the position immediately, no matter how reluctant. Staying alive is the top priority for a comeback.
**Profit Handling**: Reinvest profits into the strategy, strictly freeze the principal. This way, you can amplify gains and avoid the risk of losing everything back from a single big move.
**Pace Control**: Wait for high-probability opportunities before entering trades; stay out of the market if conditions aren’t right. Better to miss ten opportunities than to force one.
That half-year coincided with the crypto market’s meat grinder mode. Liquidation waves, chasing highs and getting trapped, floating gains turning into floating losses… countless accounts turned from green to red, then red to black. But he, like an anomaly, used mechanical discipline to survive this slaughter.
While others panic-sold, he followed his plan; while others FOMOed into high prices, he reviewed data; while others mindlessly went all-in, he patiently waited for his signals.
Result? He recovered 2 million.
Seemingly simple rules, but they can filter out 99% of people in execution. Because they require you to give up the illusion of quick riches, overconfidence in the market, and high-leverage operations that spike adrenaline.
The crypto market is never short of lucky ones, but those who can truly survive long-term are often the most unremarkable, rigid traders who stick to their rules. They have no legendary stories, no overnight wealth myths, only respect for risk and discipline.
If you’ve also taken a tumble in the crypto market, this path is worth trying — find a system that suits you, and then follow the most foolish move: execute methodically.

It's the same story again, full of flowery words, but how many can truly stick with it?

To be honest, everyone understands this theory, but executing it is hell. I tried the 3% stop-loss method, but in the end, I couldn't resist and manually closed the position...

Honestly, I've heard of 3% stop-loss countless times, but I just can't do it no matter what. I always think I'll hold on a bit longer... and you know the rest.

Listen, I've been using the 3% stop-loss strategy for a while, but to be honest, executing it is really extremely difficult, especially when watching the coin surge upward, my mind just doesn't listen anymore.

A 3% stop loss sounds easy, but in reality, 99% of people tend to relax to 5%, 8%... due to the mental accounting effect, which is the source of liquidation risk.

Honestly, after seeing so many "counterattack" cases, this one is the most unpretentious and genuine. The 3% stop-loss sounds rigid, but being able to survive and see tomorrow already means you've beaten most people.
