#以太坊行情解读 Despair and Turnaround with 5000U

When I was unemployed, mortgage and car loans were looming, and my partner left me. My monthly dead salary couldn't fill this gap at all, and the feeling of helplessness was more painful than losing money. I decided to go all-in and entered the crypto space with my only 5000U. Honestly, I was forced into a corner.

The first three months after entering the market were a nightmare. Watching the trends of $ETH and $BTC, I was possessed, opening ten or even twenty trades a day. As long as the market moved, I jumped in, never thinking about stop-loss, and kept adding positions. When the market reversed, it didn't even give me a chance to adjust; my account was wiped out directly. My mentality completely collapsed.

Later, lying in bed, I calmed down and reviewed everything for a whole week. I realized—it's not that I have exceptional insight, I was just reckless. Seeing others share screenshots made me itchy, and seeing my floating losses made me anxious. At that moment, I suddenly thought: nine out of ten people in the crypto world are actually making the same mistake: not afraid of losing, but afraid of doing nothing. The more idle you are, the more you want to trade. In the end, either the market cuts you off or you ruin yourself.

I set three iron rules for myself, and gradually from 5000U, I built up to 60,000U.

**First Rule: Abandon second-by-second trading, only fight the battles you can win**

I used to stare at 1-minute candles until my eyes blurred. Now I only look at 4-hour and daily charts. The benefit of this is that making two trades a day is already good, and before I understood the market, I preferred to stay flat. It sounds risky, but actually it’s protecting myself. Keep your hands steady, and the money won’t run away.

**Second Rule: Take profits quickly, cut losses decisively**

Strictly control position size within 10%. When in profit, keep adding; when losing, cut immediately. Once I hit 20% profit, I lock in half, and let the rest ride with the trend. No dreaming, no greed. This isn’t just talk; I embed this discipline into my bones.

**Third Rule: Discipline is always more valuable than signals**

If my mentality is off, I immediately close the software—don’t force it. If I lose twice in a row, I stop and rest. Daily review isn’t to show off skills but to force myself to face reality: am I profiting from the market or just gambling?

The opportunities in the crypto world are more than you can imagine, but few can survive. Those who can resist temptation and hold their positions are the real winners. In the world of contracts, **simply staying alive is victory**.

Seeing my account bleeding, many people's first reaction is to find the next trade to make up for losses. But you have to ask yourself one question: am I really trading, or am I gambling with my life? This answer is crucial.

The market is noisy; everyone needs a place to quiet their mind. I found this corner within my core circle—we don’t just execute strategies together, but more importantly, our thoughts on the market are synchronized. Now I want to share this approach with you. Are you willing to listen?
