#以太坊大户持仓变化 When your account is about to run out, put the matter of turning things around on hold



Recently, someone always asks me in private messages whether they can turn their few thousand USDT into a fortune. Every time I hear this question, I think of a friend's story.

That guy lost over ten thousand dollars in just three months during his worst times. It’s not laziness, but impatience — chasing hot trends with full positions every day, only thinking about making money back as quickly as possible. And what happened? The faster he acted, the more chaotic his mind became; the more reckless his judgments, the heavier his losses, falling into a vicious cycle.

Later, he came to me saying he might not be suited for trading. I didn’t comfort him but set a prerequisite: if he wanted to continue, he had to follow the rules.

First, clear all positions and stay out of the market for a few days to cool down. It’s not surrendering, it’s stopping the bleeding. Keep only a small amount of money for testing the waters, with a single goal — avoid making big mistakes again.

Once a person stabilizes, their mind can reset.

Then I asked him to redesign his trading logic, only trading mainstream coins with liquidity. Before each entry, he must think through three questions: Why buy, where to stop the risk, and what is the target price. If these questions aren’t thoroughly considered, don’t act.

Gradually, he realized that losing money isn’t really about the market, but about him having no boundaries.

The next most critical step: protect the principal first, and focus on growth later.

Cut positions when losing money; add positions only when making money. When adding, only use the profits earned — never gamble with the principal. If consecutive mistakes happen, reduce the size proactively. After making consistent profits, take a break to breathe — don’t let emotions hijack your judgment.

After a few months, his state completely changed. No longer worried about whether to enter the market, but started checking if each step was executed according to the established rules. Planning, action, review — these became habits.

Whether you can make big money is uncertain, but at least you won’t be eliminated by the market early. The market is always there, opportunities are always there — as long as you’re still in the game.

That's so true, stopping the bleeding is the most important. I used to be the kind of person who would go all-in impulsively, and of course, I ended up losing so much I doubted my life. Now I understand that only by staying alive can I turn things around; if I die, there's no chance left.

To be honest, after hearing this theory many times, only about one in ten can actually be executed.

Honestly, the hardest but most crucial step is to clear your positions and stay calm. Not cutting your positions won't kill you, but always being fully invested is a sure way to lose. As long as the account is alive, opportunities will always be there. Those who realize this the latest suffer the worst losses.

That's right, without capital, everything is pointless. I'm just a cautionary tale, haha.

That was really harsh, hitting so many people's pain points... stopping the bleeding is even harder than turning things around.

To be honest, this set of logic is indeed correct, but very few people can actually carry it out. --- The step of calmly clearing out positions is something most people simply can't do, always thinking about buying the dip again. --- The real reason for losing money is the lack of boundaries; this statement hits hard. --- The idea of not adding positions to protect the principal sounds dull, but surviving is truly the top priority. --- You should stop and catch your breath after making money, but unfortunately, greed is something no one can control. --- The execution of rules determines everything; it's not about the market conditions themselves.
