#数字资产动态追踪 From losing 1.5 million to turning things around in half a year, he only did one thing
There are many stories like this in the crypto world, but few people can truly climb out of the bottom. He was once the typical loser—losing all his principal, his confidence shattered, watching his trading account decline step by step, almost ready to give up.
People around him had long lost hope. At that stage, some chose to go all-in gambling, while others simply uninstalled the app. But he didn’t do that. When he reappeared to discuss with me, he only said one sentence: "This time I’ll follow your method, no more messing around."
Just this one change allowed him to carve out a path in the following half year.
**What exactly did he do?**
First, he restructured his positions. He divided his available funds into ten parts, using at most one part per trade, firmly sticking to this rule. Full positions had never even crossed his mind.
Second, he turned stop-loss from a theory into action. As soon as a single loss reached 2%, he would close the position immediately. No bargaining, no regret—just execution. Protecting the principal always came first.
Third, he used the profits to continue investing, but kept the principal separate and managed it independently. The benefit of this approach is that it curbs greed—the desire to turn a thousand into ten thousand is cooled down by cold, hard data.
Fourth, he only acted when there were clear signals. If there was no opportunity, he stayed in cash, waiting. He preferred to earn less than to mess around blindly.
**What happened during those six months?**
The market was very volatile at that time. Some people got wiped out due to greed, others chased highs and got caught in deeper losses, and many saw their accounts turn from green to red, then from red to black. Some had floating profits that looked good, but a shakeout wiped them out in an instant.
Only he, like a machine wound up, followed the routine. During market panic, he operated as usual; during crazy market swings, he became even calmer. When others chased highs, he waited. When a real opportunity appeared, he acted.
As a result, in half a year, he not only recovered the 1.5 million he lost but also achieved stable monthly profits.
**Why do so many people know this method but so few stick to it?**
Honestly, it has nothing fancy—no mysterious indicators, no chance of overnight riches, just basic fund management and mental discipline.
Many get stuck here because they don’t see the possibility of "getting rich quickly," so they can’t persist. They keep cycling through "loss → break even → loss again," always thinking the next time will turn around, but sinking deeper each time.
The ones who truly turn things around are those who give up illusions and choose to take steady, solid steps. No shortcuts, only execution and patience.
There’s nothing mysterious about this experience. The starting point of change is simply making the right decision—admitting you need to change, and then actually doing it.

That's right, the key is self-discipline. I used to be the type to go all-in with full positions, and I lost terribly. Now I've learned to split my investments into ten parts; although the gains are slower, my account has never experienced a bloodbath again, and my mindset is much more stable.
Human nature is greed; when prices go up, we want to go all in, and when they fall, we panic, always getting beaten down by the market. It's really impressive that this guy can stick to a 2% stop-loss; I still tend to be soft-hearted.
Why do I feel like I've heard this story many times in the crypto world, but every time I actually operate, I still fall into traps? Execution is probably the most scarce thing.
Losing 150K can be turned around; the underlying logic is to survive long enough. Those who stick to the rules ultimately win, while those seeking quick gains are already out.
Most people seem to know these principles, but just can't do it. I want to do it too, but it's really difficult.

It sounds good, but in fact, it's the market re-pricing the value of "discipline."
From a mechanism design perspective, his approach is essentially institutional constraints on human flaws—position sizing at 1/10, 2% stop-loss, capital isolation management, each one is a hard rule to block impulsive decisions.
But the real punchline is: 99% of people know these rules, yet can't implement them. Why? Because people automatically raise their risk threshold when floating profits, and automatically find reasons to break the rules when losing. Without an externally incentive-compatible design, relying solely on self-discipline can't hold.
It's like DAO governance—no matter how good the proposal process is, without mandatory constraints and feedback loops, it ultimately becomes ineffective. His turnaround isn't due to a unique method, but because he uses a "black box operation" of 'not giving himself a chance to regret.'
On the other hand, those still losing? Every time they gamble on "next time it'll be right," isn't that just a sign of poor governance efficiency?

That's right, I'm just worried that some people will package this method as some secret technique to scam others.
Getting back 1.5 million isn't difficult; what's really hard is how many people can withstand the boredom when there's no signal.
This is probably the cruelest truth in the crypto world: making money isn't mysterious, and those who can stick to it are truly rare.

Exactly right, but the biggest bottleneck is really execution. Many people understand these concepts.
---
The key to turning 1.5 million around is to lock up greed. It’s easy to say, but in reality, it’s extremely difficult to do.
---
Those who can stick to a 10% position stop-loss, making money is just a matter of time. The problem is, how many people can actually do that?
---
A classic "knowing doesn’t mean doing." This phrase is never outdated in the crypto world.
---
When the market panics, he manipulates it; when the market is crazy, he stays calm. Such mental resilience is truly rare.
---
Waiting on the sidelines for opportunities really hit me—I’ve been messing around and missed the big trend.
---
Reading this article, I started reflecting on whether I’m just going all-in again, haha.
---
Money management has been talked about countless times, but some people still go all-in with leverage. Who’s to blame?
---
From 1.5 million to 0 and back to 1.5 million, the emotional changes during this process are the most valuable.
---
The obsession with getting rich overnight must be broken. Otherwise, even a hundred chances won’t save you from losses.

To be honest, the 2% stop-loss rule has already discouraged half of the people.
Consistent monthly returns sound like a dream, but executing it requires full self-discipline.

That's right, but the key is persistence. That's the hardest part.
---
Once again, this theory—how many people can truly implement it? I tried for a week and failed.
---
1.5 million turnaround is indeed impressive, but it's rare to see a market that can sustain monthly income.
---
It sounds simple, but execution is hell, and the toughest part is maintaining the right mindset.
---
I've heard a thousand times about fund management, but the problem is, how can you stay truly calm when losing money?
---
Maybe this guy is one of that 1% of disciplined individuals. Most people just can't shake the gambler's mentality.
---
I agree with the 2% stop-loss rule, but waiting in cash really tests human nature.
---
The most heartbreaking thing is "not seeing quick wealth" and giving up. I’m the same way.
---
In the end, it's all about discipline and patience, but the crypto world makes you think slow means death.
---
This method isn't really innovative; the hard part is that others are making crazy profits while you're still waiting.
