When my account went from half a million down to just five thousand U, I almost gave up. But during the most despairing time, I forced myself to make a change.



The first change was in my trading approach. I started focusing solely on those volatile coins—many of them experience rapid surges and drops. I looked for good entry points near the 20-day moving average, using 5x leverage to enter lightly. I would take a 5% profit and exit immediately, repeating this twice a day. Operating like a machine, neither greedy nor hesitant.

Next was spotting new coin opportunities. In the first ten minutes after opening, the order book is thin and prices fluctuate greatly. I placed low buy orders in advance, and once filled, I immediately set a 3% higher sell order. If the conditions are favorable, I take profits and move on, never chasing or tugging the market.

The most crucial tactic is profit management. After my account recovered to 20,000 U, I set a strict rule—every night at 8 PM, I withdraw half of that day’s profit to a cold wallet. Too many people double their holdings but are reluctant to take profits, ultimately losing everything after a failed attempt to hold on. Those who can preserve their profits are the true winners.

That period taught me that technical analysis is not the hardest part. The real core competitiveness lies in controlling oneself, executing trading discipline, and sticking to risk management rules. The market only rewards those who can maintain discipline in desperate times.

Turning the tide has never been about luck or miracles; it’s purely the result of strict adherence to principles.

honestly the discipline angle hits different... most people chase the pump, i just watch gas prices and execution windows. that 8pm rule? it's basically my MEV protection strategy but for profit—cut the noise, secure the gain. boring wins.

Losing from 500,000 to 5,000 and still being able to turn it around—this mental resilience is truly incredible.

The saying "cash out for safety" is really not nonsense; so many people get stuck at the step of being reluctant to withdraw.

Honestly, running with a 5% daily mechanical repetition is easy to say but really hard to do.

ngl the "withdraw half profits at 8pm sharp" thing sounds more like copium than actual edge... like yeah discipline matters but this reads like survivorship bias dressed up as methodology. where's the historical backtest data showing this actually works? based on historical data alone, most people executing this exact same ruleset prob still got liquidated lol
