Last month, a friend came to me—his account was down to just 2,000U.

He got hit hard by that ETH market move. He kept chasing longs, but it was all fake breakouts. He’s not a newbie, but he just couldn’t control himself—when it went up, he’d jump in; when it dropped, he’d panic. He could lose 2,000 or 3,000 in a single day.

He told me, “If this keeps up, I really don’t want to play anymore.”

I said, take a break. Don’t think about multiplying that 2,000U; it’s your stake to start over, not a bet.

I listed a few things for him:

If the market doesn’t give a clear signal, stay on the sidelines—don’t move if it’s not going up, don’t panic if it’s not going down. Keep each position under 400U—only risk what you can afford to lose. Always set a stop loss for every trade—take the loss, don’t stubbornly hold on. After the market closes, always review your trades; see where you went wrong, and your feel for the market will gradually come back.

I didn’t tell him to chase hot topics or go all in. Just take it slow and steady—if you make three to five hundred a day, call it a day.

Two months later, his account was up to 70,000U.

It wasn’t luck, and he didn’t catch some miracle trade. He just stuck to the rules, kept his emotions in check, and ground it out trade by trade.

There are plenty of people with just a few thousand U left, but not many can stay calm and disciplined. The market isn’t short on opportunities—it’s short on people who can wait for them and hold onto them.

A comeback is never made in one all-in bet—it’s built step by step, patiently.

The path is right here—it’s up to you whether you can keep walking it.
