A fan of mine got seriously schooled by the market last year.
His account went from peak to rock bottom, losing over 3 million. He deleted his social media, his family gave him the cold shoulder every day, and his buddies stopped answering his calls. Only those who’ve been through that kind of despair understand it.
Later, I chatted with him and casually said, "Losing all your money isn’t the end—when your spirit dies, that’s when it’s really over."
He told me he was sleepless that entire night, but the next morning, something clicked—since he was still alive, he’d give it one more shot.
His account balance was down to just 3,500 USDT—literally the last bit of money he could use.
But this time, he didn’t bet it all.
No chasing hype, no trading on rumors, no taking trades he didn’t understand. Every day he watched just a few familiar coins, only acting when the trend was clear.
He split the 3,500 into two parts: one for defense, one just for offense. He closed each trade after a 5-10% gain, cut losses immediately if things felt off—never hesitated.
After week one, his account was at 5,200. Week two, 8,600. By week six, it had jumped to over 40,000.
When he messaged me, he wasn’t ecstatic. He just said, "Finally fucking crawled out."
Looking at his trades, there was nothing fancy—he just fixed all his old bad habits.
No all-ins, no holding onto losers, no greed. Every trade followed the plan. If he was wrong, he admitted it. Never let emotions cloud his judgment.
So can you make a comeback with a small account?
Yes, but only if you truly change.
A comeback never comes from shouting slogans or blind faith. It’s about treating trading as a craft, honing it bit by bit.
Once your rhythm is steady, the money comes back on its own.
Opportunities are there every day—the real question is, do you still want to win?

Sometimes stepping back opens up broader horizons.
