#数字货币市场洞察 The biggest paradox in crypto—the more desperate you are to make a comeback, the more likely you are to get liquidated.

I’m a case in point. My account started with just a few thousand USDT, a typical retail investor’s starting point. But looking back now, being able to roll that snowball up to the tens of millions all comes down to one core principle: Don’t always focus on “how much can I make on this trade”—ask yourself first, “Is this the right entry point?”

Take $LTC as an example. Instead of getting excited about your target price, it’s better to first analyze whether the current structure is truly clear. If you’re moving in the right direction, profits will naturally follow.

Here’s a practical operational framework:

**Initial Stage** — I split my initial 1,000 USDT into 5 parts, each 200 USDT, and traded them independently. For every trade, I set stop-loss and take-profit levels in advance, never relying on luck. If I didn’t understand the market, I stayed out. I never averaged down, chased highs, or gambled on reversals—never once fell into those traps.

**Rolling Stage** — Once my account hit 10,000 USDT, I kept each position to about 25% of total funds. If the market really moved with the trend, I’d scale in gradually, focusing on capturing the most stable part of the mid-trend move. I didn’t get greedy at the top or gamble at the end.

**Profit Locking Stage** — After breaking 200,000, I started withdrawing a portion of funds every week. Not because I feared the market, but because I feared getting overconfident. With cash in hand, you truly stay calm.

Where do most people lose?
- Random position sizing, no system
- Refusing to admit losses, holding to the end
- Getting the direction right, but failing due to averaging down on losing trades

A friend who followed my approach slowly grew from 800 USDT to 12,000 USDT and was so excited after withdrawing yesterday that he couldn’t sleep all night. He said something that really struck me: “Finally, it’s not just luck anymore.”

The market doesn’t care about anyone’s emotions. All you can do is break down every decision clearly, then keep repeating the right actions.
