#美联储重启降息步伐 From Liquidation to Recovery: The Survival Rules I Learned During a 30% Crash

Honestly, it's a bit embarrassing. I used to be the typical retail trader—chasing pumps, panicking on drops, doubling down when things fell even more. Then one day, the market suddenly plunged 30%, and I watched my account balance go to zero. How did it feel? Like someone stabbed you right in the chest.

After that, I started looking into this strategy called "rolling positions."

A lot of people think rolling positions means "keep adding to your position as you profit, go all in." Isn't that just asking for trouble? If the market pulls back just 5%, your account blows up. Later, I realized: the biggest enemy of rolling positions isn't market volatility—it's your inability to control yourself. As long as your principal survives, you still have a chance to make a comeback.

I've summed up three iron rules, all paid for with real money:

1. The principal must stay put; only let profits go into battle.
2. Only add to your position after technical levels are broken—never blindly average down.
3. Every time you add to your position, use at most half of your profits, and always leave yourself an exit.

The deadliest trap is trying to "buy the dip" to average down. Buying after a drop? That’s the most expensive form of self-comfort.

After I disciplined myself, I started over with 10,000 USDT. I’d test with a small position first, then gradually roll in as I made floating profits, letting profits cushion my position while the principal stayed untouched. When the market was strong, profits would generate more profits, and my position would snowball bigger and bigger. Once my floating profit exceeded my principal, I’d directly hedge in the opposite direction to lock in most of it. Even if another 30% crash came, no matter how hard $BTC and $ETH dumped, my principal would stay rock solid and my account value would still double.

Eventually, I wrote this logic into an automated script and ran it on a server. My phone could only view, not trade; I deleted the order button entirely. Because I realized, what the market fears most is an itchy trigger finger.

Stop staring at others catching 10x coins all the time. First, learn how to survive the next 30% crash. As long as you survive, profits will come to you naturally.
