#数字资产生态回暖 After losing 2 million last year, I was really desperate. Smashing my phone, deleting apps, shutting myself off to reflect for two months. During that time, it felt like the crypto path had reached a dead end. But I just couldn’t swallow that breath.



By the beginning of the year, I was left with only 3400 USDT in my account. I made a promise to myself: either completely give up and exit, or use this small amount of capital to start from zero.

At this moment, an early user reached out to me for a consultation. Nobody expected that with just this 3400 dollars, we both repeatedly rolled over our positions, turning 120,000 into over 200,000, and later stabilizing at profits of over 500,000. Not only did we stop his losses and turn things around, but we also made a substantial profit in the end.

Does this sound like a story? But the three core principles that truly led to the turnaround are:

**First, Never go all-in, always reserve an exit route**
The previous margin call was due to greed and luck. Later, I strictly enforced: no single position exceeding 40%, always lock in 60% without touching, and cut losses immediately if floating losses exceed 15%. This way, even after several losses, the account always has a chance to recover. As long as you don’t get margin called, you can keep going.

**Second, Follow the trend, abandon bottom-fishing fantasies**
Don’t expect to perfectly catch the bottom or top. When the market moves, only do the strongest directions. In a bull market, go long; in a bear market, go short. Never counter the trend expecting a rebound. Many times, making thousands of USDT in ten minutes isn’t about being a master trader, but about catching the market rhythm correctly.

**Third, Take profits in layers, even when rolling positions, withdraw some**
Take only 30% of each profit to roll over, and firmly withdraw the rest to bank. This ensures the account grows while preventing a full withdrawal during a correction.

In the end, for small funds to turn around, don’t fear slow progress; what you should fear most is greed. Often, the problem isn’t trading skills but lacking a workable discipline and guidance from experienced people.

Now that the market is becoming active again, if you truly want to change your situation, don’t just envy others’ earnings. The key is to find a method that suits you and strictly stick to your trading discipline.

3400 bucks for 500,000? Sounds awesome, but I have to be honest, stories like this do come up a bit too often. But those three principles are fine; the most important one is never to be fully invested, as liquidation is truly game over. Seriously asking, does such stable compounding really exist? Or is it just luck that caught a few good waves? I support rolling positions and withdrawals; securing the gains is never wrong. Ultimately, it's all about execution—knowing what to do and actually doing it just comes down to mindset.

3400 to 50,000? Sounds pretty unbelievable, but that 60% never-moving setup is indeed clever.

3400 for over 500,000? Bro, your story sounds pretty solid, but it's a bit too textbook. --- Honestly, it's still a matter of stop-loss. Greed once and the account is gone. Everyone understands this principle, but nobody can do it. --- Following the trend instead of going against it, that's true. I used to try to catch the bottom every day and get slapped in the face. Later, just honestly riding the trend made more profit. --- I admit I haven't been good at withdrawing. Always thinking of rolling it over, but a single correction wiped everything out. I need to learn from your discipline. --- But honestly, a principal of 3400 can be wiped out with just a 20% correction. Luck really plays a big role, doesn't it? --- No matter how many stories of others turning things around I hear, it doesn't help. The key is to endure the psychological torment during the bear market.

This story sounds quite suspenseful, but I have to say that risk control is truly the truth. Going all-in has saved my life several times. --- Listening to 500,000 profit is fine, but the key is how that 3400 was turned around. Those details are the real value. --- I've used the method of closing positions and withdrawing funds before; it's more effective than any technical analysis, but execution is difficult. --- It's always about discipline, but how many can truly stick to it? Most still chase highs impulsively. --- Support levels, stop-losses—those are correct, but who in the crypto world really dares to cut at 15%? Easy to say, hard to do. --- Being bearish is one thing, but this time the analysis really hit the point—risk control always comes first. --- Fellow investors, wake up. Greed is truly a deadly trait. Account liquidation can happen in an instant. --- I have to admit, locking in 60% and not touching it is much better than my reckless operations. --- Basically, don’t go all-in, don’t go against the trend, don’t be greedy. Just following these three rules and surviving is already good. --- Technical analysis is all superficial; discipline is the real gold and silver. I agree with this logic.

3400 turned into 500,000, is this operation truly rolling or just a story? --- I'm supportive of not full-margin positions; only after a margin call do you realize what regret really means. Now I also strictly adhere to this. --- Going with the trend instead of against it, it's easy to say but hard to do... Too many times I’ve been proven wrong. --- The key is still mindset; greed is truly an omnipresent devil. --- So, finding a reliable person can really save your life, but how to find one? --- Those three principles sound like basic skills, but no one can stick to them. --- Small funds turning around rely on discipline, there's nothing wrong with that, but execution is the biggest pitfall.

3400 to 500,000 sounds outrageous, but discipline really can save lives. --- I deeply understand the feeling of being fully invested and then getting wiped out last time. --- Following the trend is truly more reliable than trying to bottom fish; I used to always want to go against the trend, and now I'm still losing. --- Honestly, greed destroys everything. I understand this principle but just can't do it. --- I need to learn how to secure profits properly; I keep wanting to go all-in, but in the end, I lose everything. --- Losing 2 million and bouncing back is really tough, but can this story be replicated? --- The problem isn't technology, but discipline—this really hits the nail on the head. --- Now, who hasn't lost 2 million? The key is whether you have the spirit to come back again.
