#数字资产市场动态 Remember the intense volatility of that year’s market, $LUNA that plunge that wiped the account from two million down to less than fifty thousand. At the time, curled up in the bathroom, my head buzzing, spinning.
My phone vibrated—a message—"It's time to pay the kids' tuition."
That moment, I snapped out of it. This is not a game. It’s the real cost that can affect my family’s life.
Since then, I’ve completely changed. No more high-leverage gambles, no more daydreams of overnight riches. I treat trading as a survival skill, find my rhythm, and set rules for myself.
What are these rules? They’re not complicated:
**Position layering**—Gradually increase positions, resolutely avoid blindly adding. Progress steadily, keep psychological pressure low, and have room to respond to sudden market moves.
**Stop-loss rule**—Strictly keep each trade within 1%. If wrong, cut it decisively; there’s no need to hesitate. Stick to this habit to prevent a big loss from wiping out previous gains.
**Prioritize certainty**—Don’t chase every opportunity. Wait for signals where the four-hour and daily charts both show strength and volume clearly increases; only then act.
**Breakouts must be confirmed by volume**—Breakouts without volume support are false signals. Key support levels should hold for at least three days to be considered valid breakouts. That’s the standard for verification.
Keep following these principles. The team started with just a dozen people, now has grown to over a thousand. 28 consecutive months without a margin call. Some have paid off their mortgages, others have saved enough for family security—this is the power of stable compound growth.
Looking back, that crash was actually the most valuable lesson.
In crypto, there are no miracles, only rules. True success isn’t about accounts skyrocketing overnight, but about surviving steadily, feeling secure, and reassuring your family. Going solo won’t get you far; a team can go further. A solid system combined with mutual understanding—that’s real strength.
If you’re ready, join me in writing your own story with discipline and persistence. This path doesn’t rely on luck; it depends on execution, thinking, and the passage of time.

Two million to fifty thousand, this wave of operations is truly crazy, but the following words are the key.
I was also there when Luna plummeted, really, that feeling of mental breakdown is exactly how it feels.
I need to seriously remember this 1% stop-loss; it was only because I didn't have this strict rule before that I lost everything.
Honestly, the fact that the team hasn't been liquidated in 28 months is pretty impressive. How did they do it?
This layered position strategy is indeed reliable, much better than my previous reckless all-in bets.
Wait, why does the signal of the four-hour daily chart turning strong at the same time seem so common to me...
After reading this article, I believe that discipline is indeed a necessary condition for survival in this industry.
Making money is not the goal; surviving is. This really hit me.

Two hundred thousand to fifty thousand, can this wave really wake people up
---
I also went through Luna's plunge, but it wasn't this bad
---
It sounds good, but the key is whether you can really stick to the rules, that's the hard part
---
28 months without liquidation? Are you serious? This data is a bit outrageous
---
Stop-loss at 1% sounds simple, but in actual operation, many people get nervous and hesitate
---
The team grew from a dozen to over a thousand people, this growth rate is indeed possible
---
That's how the crypto world is, an information gap can almost bankrupt you
---
Adjusting your mindset is spot on, many people fail due to psychological barriers
---
The logic of confirming a breakout with volume is old news, but some people are actually doing pretty well with it
---
Paying off the mortgage and saving for a safety fund? Okay, at least it's more reliable than shouting every day that contracts will multiply by 100 times

Laughing and then crying, from two million to fifty thousand, this is what a real leek spinning wheel looks like.
I was also there during the LUNA crash. My mind was like a machine crashing, and even now I have psychological shadows whenever I see a toilet.
The 1% stop-loss trick is really brilliant, much more reliable than those big V influencers who draw lines all day. It just requires steel-like willpower to execute.
The team has gone 28 months without a liquidation. I really have nothing to say about these stats, but why do I feel that stories like this in the crypto world are always armchair generals in hindsight?

The Luna crash was truly devastating; so many people's dreams were shattered.
---
It sounds like a sales pitch, but the latter part really hit home.
---
From two million to fifty thousand, that requires a huge psychological adjustment.
---
A 1% stop-loss really needs to be executed; most people can't do it.
---
The team hasn't been liquidated in 28 months? That data is a bit suspicious.
---
That message from family is the real wake-up call, stronger than anything else.
---
I agree with the layered position sizing, but the certainty approach really varies from person to person.
---
It sounds nice, but implementing these rules is extremely difficult for beginners.
---
It seems like motivational chicken soup, but the lessons from Luna are truly blood-soaked.
---
Volume is indeed a good indicator, but the definition of supporting a level for three days is a bit vague.

The Luna crash really taught too many people a lesson; the feeling of account halving was unforgettable.
Exactly, the 1% stop-loss rule must be strictly enforced, or you'll lose everything in one go.
I'm also pondering the concept of layered positions; it's definitely more comfortable than all-in.
Breakouts without volume are all fake signals; I've seen too many false breakouts, wasting transaction fees.
This kind of stable compound interest is the right path, much more reliable than those dreaming of getting rich overnight.
Team operation can indeed go further; solo efforts are too risky.

nah the volume fake-out narrative hits different when you're staring at liquidation notices, tbh the real alpha is knowing when NOT to chase. mempool's been toxic lately anyway.
