#美SEC促进加密资产创新监管框架 witnessed a real comeback battle last month.



The protagonist was holding $800 and asked me if it was possible to come back from the dead.

Two months later—the account balance shot up to $7,400.

The assets involved included $ACE, $PUFFER, $1000LUNC, and the like.

I witnessed the entire process.

When he first came to me, he was already numb. Staring at that $800 balance, his eyes were full of hesitation about whether to delete the app.

I didn’t draw lines for him or push any indicators; I just threw out one sentence:

"For small capital turnarounds, direction only accounts for 30%, position sizing is the key."

He took it to heart. Then he started executing a strategy that sounded dumb but actually worked.

**Step one: He used $300 to test the waters.**

Not all-in, not gambling. Just using a small position to hone his judgment.

If he got the direction right, he didn’t get greedy; if he got it wrong, it didn’t hurt much. Gradually, he started to understand what “market feel” really means—not superstition, but muscle memory built from lots of trades.

**Step two: Profits started to roll.**

Every time he made money, he would immediately cut out 30% and lock it in a “safe zone.” The rest would go into the next round.

The most powerful part of this move: the principal was growing, but the risk exposure was always controllable. No full-position charges, no mindless leverage. It was like upgrading gear in a game, one piece at a time.

The day his balance jumped from four digits to five, he sent me a message with just three exclamation marks.

**Step three: After breaking $5,000, he maxed out risk control.**

No more trading based on gut feelings. Trend unclear? Don’t trade. No stop loss set? Don’t touch it.

His trading records started to look boring—because those “exciting” losing trades disappeared. Money wasn’t flying away like it had wings anymore; profits finally stayed in the account.

That’s how he crossed the line from gambler to trader.

Looking back now, his ninefold increase wasn’t luck or extraordinary talent.

It was just three things: position sizing, pace control, and risk management discipline.

The market never lacks opportunities; what’s lacking are people who survive until those opportunities arrive.

If you’re stuck at a certain number now and don’t know how to move forward—

Don’t rush to find the next moonshot coin. First, figure out your position sizing logic.

You can be wrong about direction three times, but if your position sizing is wrong once, the game is over.

You're absolutely right; position sizing is indeed the lifeline. I've seen too many people chase rallies and panic sell, ending up with a full position that gets wiped out completely—it's even worse than being on the wrong side of the trade.

Position management is key; it's normal to try and fail with directions repeatedly. Going all-in at once is a game-ending move.

What you said is absolutely right, but I think most people will still go all in after reading this, because greed is ingrained in our DNA.

honestly the position sizing angle hits different... seen too many bridge collapses happen cause traders yolo'd their entire stack instead of managing exposure properly. this guy's 30% profit-lock strategy is basically risk-adjusted returns done right, but ngl most people won't have the discipline to actually execute it when adrenaline kicks in lol
