#Strategy加仓BTC Last year, a friend of mine lost 360,000 in the crypto world. She felt like she was falling from the clouds, smashing her computer, deleting apps, and isolating herself for nearly two months. When we parted ways, her eyes were vacant, her fingers trembling on the screen, and her account was almost wiped out.



But human resilience often shows itself in the most desperate moments. When we met in early spring, she suddenly said—"I have 3,600 U remaining in my account. Either I leave now, or I use this capital to start over."

At that moment, there was a glimmer in her eyes.

Three months later, I heard she turned 3,600 U into over 100,000. At her most reckless, she not only recovered her 360,000 loss but also made an additional profit of over 30,000. How did she do it? She shared three ironclad trading rules.

**Rule 1: Stop-loss always comes first.** She used to gamble all-in on market moves, but now she strictly follows—never invest more than 25% of her account in a single trade. If losses reach 10%, she exits immediately. "As long as the account is alive, there's still a chance to turn things around." It sounds simple, but greed is the easiest trap to fall into here.

**Rule 2: Follow the trend, don’t try to catch the bottom.** She no longer obsess over perfectly timing the bottom or top. Instead, she follows the candlestick patterns—buy on uptrends, reduce position or go short on downtrends. Once, she made over 6,000 U in a single day just by doing this—so straightforward.

**Rule 3: Know when to let go of profits.** She only reinvested 15% of her profits, withdrawing the rest. "What I fear is not slow gains, but greed that makes me give back all my principal in one go."

Later, she guided others around her to follow this logic. Some turned 2,000 U into over 8,000 U; others were stopped just before a margin call. In the crypto world, there are no dead ends—only rules and human nature. Stick to your bottom line, and any amount of principal can gradually grow into hope.

To be honest, I've heard several versions of this logic, but I don't know how many people can really stick with it. I've also taken notes on 25% positions and 10% stop-losses. The key is still execution ability—when a market wave comes, greed takes over.

To be honest, I find this story a bit hard to believe, but it really hit home. The key is still that 25% stop-loss rule. Really, most people die because of greed.

Ah, this story is another "leek's comeback" routine, always talking as if it's real haha. But that 25% stop-loss really needs to be taken seriously. Last time, I didn't stick to that line and got liquidated directly, a painful lesson.

Wow, this story sounds pretty crazy. 36,000 turned into over 100,000? Is that real? No way it's made up afterward, haha.

Oops, I've been playing with this logic for ten years, but no one listened to me back then hahaha. 25% position with a 10% stop loss? That's the most basic move for humans to stay alive and exit the market. The problem is that 99% of people can't do it; greed makes their brains break at that moment. The brother who managed to turn $3,600 into over $100,000 has understood that "living is more valuable than making money." I've seen too many old brothers whose accounts were wiped out, all because they believed in "just wait a little longer, you'll get back to break-even." The 15% rolling withdrawal trick is even more brilliant; many people can't even do this, always feeling safer with money in the account. In fact, the real annualized return depends on this kind of "small-frequency compound interest" mindset—don't fucking think about going all-in at once.

To be honest, I felt a bit uncomfortable when I saw the part where 360,000 was directly wiped out, but turning 3,600 into 100,000... this girl is really fierce. The key is to stick to that 25% stop-loss line; greed is indeed the number one killer in the crypto world.
