Last August, I experienced something quite dramatic. A friend from Shanghai showed me his account—his ETH and SOL long positions were floating a loss of over $1 million USDT.

He asked me if he should cut his losses, and I could tell he was panicking. To be honest, his entry point wasn’t ideal; he basically bought at the top of a consolidation range. But after carefully analyzing the candlestick patterns, I felt the trend structure wasn’t completely broken yet, so I advised him not to rush to sell at a loss.

As it turned out, the market did rebound. We closed out at a relatively high point—not only did we avoid losses, we actually made over $500,000 USDT in profit. After that, he told me he’d follow my lead in the future, since he always felt uncertain when trading on his own.

Since then, we’ve researched quite a few opportunities together. Lately, we’ve been focusing on COAI, MYX, and similar assets, which have all performed pretty well. Our timing has been solid and the capital has grown quickly. His main account assets have now surpassed $20 million USDT, and he’s also kept 30 BTC in his spot account as a base position, while using the rest of the funds to seek new opportunities as planned.

I’m not sharing this to brag—everyone makes mistakes in the market. The key isn’t whether you make mistakes, but how you handle them afterward. Some people panic and cut their losses, some stubbornly hold to the end, and some can stay calm and find ways to recover. You can never earn all the money, but losing it all can happen in an instant.

If you’re also feeling anxious about floating losses right now, or want to find a relatively stable holding strategy, let’s talk. Steady and methodical is the way to go further.
