#以太坊大户持仓变化 From 200,000 down to 5,000, is there still hope for your account?

A friend who invests in the crypto space once lost sleep over this question.

Looking back at his trading account, the problem was crystal clear—full position leverage at high levels, frequent one-minute chart trading, stubbornly holding on after losses, FOMO chasing after gains... After this series of reckless moves, the account balance could only be described as "dismal."

My answer to him was straightforward: you can turn things around, but there's a prerequisite—you must completely say goodbye to your past self.

I proposed three "counter-human" correction strategies:

**First Trick: Stop All Fragmented Trading**

Delete the 1-minute candlestick chart. Don’t chase every small fluctuation; that only adds stress to your mindset. Only act when a high-confidence, truly understandable trend appears. If you don’t understand it? Then stay in cash and wait. Better to sit and count your money than to blindly trade and lose.

**Second Trick: Restart Your Account with "Ant" Position Sizing**

Use 10% of your total funds as your initial entry (which translates to $500 in his case). Once that position yields a 20% profit, lock in half of the profit and take it out. Keep the remaining position with a trailing stop-loss, so the gains continue to work for you. Remember: use profits to dream of the future, not gamble with your remaining capital like a reckless gambler.

**Third Trick: Treat Stop-Loss as a Survival Instinct**

Set a stop-loss point for every trade (for example, -5%), and exit unconditionally once it’s hit. This isn’t weakness; it’s survival instinct. Two consecutive stop-losses in one day? Don’t trade that day anymore. Staying alive is the only ticket to turning things around.

It may sound dull or even a bit boring. But after eight weeks, his account balance slowly climbed back into six figures.

The real logic of making money has never been about one big profit, but about avoiding those deadly mistakes.

If you’re also stuck in a losing streak, consider pausing that "quick recovery" mindset. Review your trading records and calmly ask yourself: where did that money go?

Taking it slow is okay; choosing the right direction is what matters. Survive first, and profits will naturally come back over time.
