When his #ETH巨鲸增持 account balance dropped to just over three thousand, he even felt guilty speaking. It wasn’t that he had never made money—the problem was every time he did, he got overconfident. He’d rush in when he saw a pump, hold on stubbornly when trapped, and eventually burned through all his principal going back and forth.



One day, he suddenly figured it out: he needed a different approach.

No more chasing the hottest trends, no more guessing price swings. First, slash position sizes—no matter how itchy his hands got, he’d only test the waters with spare change. Wait for a clear market signal before scaling in, and then add a little at a time.

With this change, his account started speaking for itself.

On his first trade, he shorted in line with the market’s weakness, entering and exiting decisively. The second trade, a leading coin suddenly pumped—he forced himself not to chase, waited for the pullback pattern to confirm before entering, and captured the whole wave of profit. Third trade, small-cap coins collectively dipped—he pre-set his entry points and built positions in batches, and his account balance jumped straight to just over forty thousand.

Three thousand to forty thousand in less than three days. It wasn’t a streak of luck—he finally controlled himself.

Looking back, he realized those losses were never because “the market was wrong”; it was his own reckless behavior: positions so heavy they were scary, always trying to win it all in one go; trading on broken emotions; jumping in blindly without understanding the trend, all based on gut feeling.

The market doesn’t care about your anxiety—it only respects discipline.

Control your tempo, keep positions light, and opportunities will naturally come your way. Many people talk about making a comeback every day, but really, they’re just one move away—stop messing around.

To be honest, it's much harder to control your actions than your words. This guy has really figured it out.

That's right, the hard part is "not making any moves." How many people can actually hold back?

honestly the discipline part hits different... if you look at the data, most degens blow up because they can't just sit with their hands tied. position sizing isn't sexy but it's literally the only thing that matters lol

Honestly, stop-loss and discipline are the real keys; too many people lose out because of greed.
