#大户持仓动态 From Massive Loss to Turnaround: Lost 1.7 Million, Recovered 500K in Half a Year—My Crypto Rebirth Story

At the end of last year, my cousin’s account blew up. A liquidation wiped out 1.7 million, followed by overdue online loans, maxed-out credit cards, and mortgage pressure that made him breathless. During that time, he almost vanished from the world, didn’t dare to go home for the Spring Festival to see relatives, smashed his phone and deleted the app, feeling like he had fallen into an endless abyss. He said he really considered giving up on the crypto world back then.

But some things are in the bones—an unyielding spirit. When he found me later, his account only had $2,000 left. We talked for nearly an hour, and the problem was quickly identified: **Too impulsive in trading, going all-in based on feelings**. I told him clearly at the time: "This is your last chance. You must follow my rules 100%, not a word can be changed."

With just this $2,000 foundation, we set a strict rule—$2,000 → $30,000 → $100,000, doubling again and again. Today, half a year later? The account has gained a profit of 500K.

What’s the secret? Simply put: **Stick to the rules**.

**1. Position size is crucial, never full position**
No single trade should exceed 40% of total funds; the remaining 60% is for survival. When extreme market conditions hit, this is the oxygen that keeps you alive. I’ve seen too many people go all-in on $BTC or $ETH, only to be wiped out by a single needle—then there’s no chance to turn things around.

**2. Stop-loss is like a knife—be ruthless and quick**
Don’t fantasize, don’t gamble out of anger, don’t wait for rebounds. Set your stop-loss levels and cut when hit. The market doesn’t owe you face; accepting losses is basic discipline for professional traders.

**3. Trend is the truth**
When the market is bullish, chase strong coins; when it turns weak, short. Don’t always try to bottom fish. Recently, I made nearly $20,000 in just 10 minutes by quick in-and-out trades—core skills are sharp intuition + ruthless execution.

**4. Take profits in stages**
After making money, 30% can follow the trend, 70% should be withdrawn immediately to lock in gains. What’s the benefit? Less psychological pressure, and it prevents profits from being eaten back. The biggest risk in crypto is unrealized gains turning into unrealized losses, then actual losses.

**5. Information and community are key**
Relying on oneself is slow and prone to pitfalls. High-quality information flow and a reliable trading circle can help you avoid three years of detours.

The most profound lesson I’ve learned in these six months is: **In crypto, it’s not about who makes the most profit quickly, but who survives the longest**. The lesson from losing 1.7 million and gaining 500K, plus this methodology, I think it’s worth it.
