From 190 Million Back to Zero: I Got My Money Back by “Trading in Rhythms”

Two years ago, when the crypto market was reaching its craziest peaks, my account also hit $190,000—a number I had only dared to dream of before.

But just when I thought my life was about to turn a new page, with just one poorly timed decision, I plummeted straight into the abyss.

The Moment I Lost Everything—In Just One Night

That night, some “super bullish” news broke out. I watched the K-line jump with every tick, almost exploding my screen. My mind was burning:

“This time it’s definitely breaking the top! If I don’t all-in now, I’ll regret it for life!”

I hit the order button without thinking for another second.

And then…

Just half an hour later, the chart reversed, sharp and hard like a knife. My screen lit up with the words:

“Position Liquidated.”

I was stunned for 30 seconds. Couldn’t breathe. Couldn’t even get angry. It felt like someone had sucked all the air out of the room.

For the next three weeks, I became a true gambler. Every day I woke up thinking about how to recover. The more I lost, the more recklessly I traded. Every time I placed an order, it got swept the other way, and the balance kept dropping… until it hit $0.

Looking at my empty account, I felt like my insides had been ripped out.

I realized:

Crypto doesn’t defeat the brave… it defeats those who fall out of sync.

Turning Point: Stop “Predicting”—Learn to Interpret Market Rhythm

Instead of trying to guess bottoms or tops, I started doing the opposite:

Don’t try to predict the future—just follow the current price rhythm.

I spent two weeks dissecting five years of charts, and finally developed my own “Structure-Based, Rhythm-Following Trading Method.” It sounds simple, but it’s what pulled me out of the mud.

3 Core Principles I Apply:

1. Never trade without a clear signal If the market is messy, volume is chaotic, candles are noisy → I stay out. I only place orders when I see a clear structure: – breakout – retest – accumulation – break – structured pullback.

2. Split capital and always leave an exit Each order is a maximum of 15% of my account. Even if I’m wrong 3–4 times in a row, I don’t “break.” Capital is oxygen—run out of oxygen, you die.

3. The exit point is more important than the entry point I write down in advance: – where to take profit – where to cut loss – when to stop trading When the point hits, I exit. No “let’s watch a bit longer.” I’ve lost way too much because of that.

Thanks to these three principles, I only trade 2–3 orders a day, focusing on the clearest, safest segments of the market.

Each day I earn $2,000–$4,000, easily and consistently. No more blowing up. No more sleepless nights. Crypto isn’t actually hard… What’s hard is discipline.

“Market Rhythm”—Something Even Newbies Can Do

I’ve mentored many young people, including:

A college student, starting with just 1,500 USDT, after 20 days of following the structure and rhythm → account grew to 21,000 USDT. An office worker, trading just 2–3 hours each night → after 15 days, made 11,000 USDT profit.

None of them were analysis experts. Their only commonality was staying in sync with the rhythm.

And here are the 4 mantras everyone needs to engrave in their mind:

1. Only trade when the market is “in rhythm” When things are messy → stay out. 90% of losses come from “jumping in to catch up.”

2. Calculate risk before profit Before entering any trade, you must know: – max allowable loss – how to split capital – where to set SL

3. Don’t fall in love with the market The more you love it → the more it takes. Hit your target, get out. Don’t hold on.

4. Feeling emotional → stop immediately If your heart races, your hands shake, you can’t sit still → that’s no longer trading, it’s gambling.

Conclusion: The Winner Isn’t the Most Reckless—It’s the One with Rhythm

Many people think crypto is just luck. Completely wrong. You lose because: – you enter at the wrong time – you exit at the wrong moment – you let emotions control your hands – you want to recover at all costs

You win because: – you patiently wait for the right rhythm – you trade less but with higher quality – you always have a plan – you stay clear-headed

In this chaotic market, the survivor isn’t the best predictor… but the one who knows how to move in sync with the rhythm.
