#数字资产市场动态 From $20,000 U to $800,000 U, I achieved it in 28 days—but this has nothing to do with luck at all.



In early July, a friend from Hunan reached out to me. His voice sounded very heavy:

"Last year I lost $800,000 USD, now I only have $20,000 U left... Can this market turn around?"

I didn’t comfort him, I directly said: "Don’t think about getting your money back for now, you need to stay alive first."

When he came to me, his mind was full of "quick turnaround" dreams, but I told him very realistically: "Getting anxious will only make you die faster."

We set three bottom lines that must not be crossed; if broken, there’s no point in continuing cooperation.

**First: Position Sizing — The foundation of survival**

I divided his $20,000 U into 5 parts, with each trade risking no more than $4,000 U.

Others might think this is too conservative. But you need to understand, this isn’t cowardice, it’s "if you’re wrong, you still have a chance to try again."

The biggest risk in crypto trading isn’t misjudging the direction, but making one wrong call and being completely out. The logic of position sizing is: no single trade should take your life.

**Second: Stop Loss — No such thing as 'wait and see'**

On the coin $ZEC, he entered the market and got caught immediately. When the unrealized loss was only 3.8%, I told him to cut and exit.

Many might ask, why not hold on since it’s only a small loss?

Four days later, ZEC plummeted 14%. If he hadn’t cut, his loss would have doubled.

Stop loss is never a sign of giving up. Quite the opposite, it’s telling the market: I’m awake, I’m saving bullets for the next opportunity.

**Third: Partial Exit — Don’t try to eat the last bite**

$COAI rose from 0.16, and we took partial profits at 0.24, 0.33, 0.42, finally clearing all at 0.47.

I never chase the dream of selling at the highest point. My goal is: within my understanding, to take the most stable part of the trend.

**The most challenging part is actually this**

The toughest moment for his mental resilience came from "waiting in cash."

When the market direction was unclear for two consecutive days, I insisted he not act. He got anxious, messaged me asking if he should enter. I replied: "Waiting is the smartest move."

It might sound a bit mystical, but when the market finally starts moving, he ends up catching more opportunities. Why? Because he’s not trapped in the wrong position.

**28 days’ result**

From $20,000 U to $800,000 U, about 20 trades in between.

This isn’t a story of overnight riches, but about someone finally understanding: how to use systematic rules to control their hands, how to use discipline to fight market volatility.

The most memorable thing he told me at the end was:

"The secret to consistent profits is actually hidden in those basic rules. There’s nothing profound, just doing simple things repeatedly."

In the crypto market, it’s never about who makes the most money in one shot. It’s about: who can survive longer, who can seize the right opportunities at the right time.

If you’re tired of chasing highs and selling lows, and want to replace luck with a systematic approach, try starting with these three key tactics: "Position Sizing, Stop Loss, Partial Selling."

Real turning points always come from daily discipline accumulation, never from luck.

Stop-loss really can save lives. My friend lost everything by stubbornly holding onto a coin. The strategy of splitting positions is brilliant; it's more reliable than any technical indicator. Holding cash and waiting is the hardest, but also the most profitable time. In four months, I turned around from the brink of bankruptcy, all thanks to discipline. This method, to put it simply, is about staying alive. The longer you survive, the more you can earn.

Hey, it's all about discipline, and that's really true. I used to chase gains and sell off quickly every day, but I later realized that sticking to stop-losses is more important than anything. The logic of position splitting I am now applying to every trade has indeed helped me live longer. Waiting is the hardest part, but missing out on losses is the real loss. This time, I think I finally understood. It's still about splitting positions, setting stop-losses, and selling in batches—I'm tired of hearing it, but it really works... Turning 20,000 into 800,000 sounds simple, but executing it requires a strong mental mindset. I admire that. I've tried this set of rules, but the key is to control that greedy heart of yours. It looks simple, but how many can really stick to it? That's the real challenge.

4 times in 28 days? Easy to say... I thought the same last year, and now my account is only the size of a palm.

Positioning, stop-loss, batch selling... You're right, discipline is the most valuable word. --- 28 days from 20,000 to 800,000, this story makes me think of my past foolishness of chasing rallies and selling in panic. --- "Waiting is the most brilliant operation," this phrase must be engraved in my mind. --- The hardest part is that knowing this theory and actually doing it are two different things. --- Stop-loss tests human nature the most. Clearly only a 3.8% loss, but I still can't bring myself to cut. --- Bro, these three bottom lines essentially mean not going all-in. Sounds simple, but it's deadly to do. --- Just take the most stable part of the market, don't chase the peak... I need to reflect on this. --- The key is the period of waiting in cash. Most people simply can't endure it. --- Looking at this case from a friend in Hunan, mental state management is worth much more than technical analysis. --- The limit of 4000 USD per trade is indeed very restraining.

The concept of position-based stop-loss has been known for a long time, but I just can't execute it... After watching, I still have to admit, discipline is really the biggest enemy.

Wow, this split position strategy is really awesome. It's much more rational than my previous all-in on a single coin.
