I remember that decisive moment very clearly. LUNA plummeted overnight, and the two million in my account evaporated to less than fifty thousand. I curled up in the bathroom, my mind a mess, unable to see clearly.



My phone vibrated—a message from Mr. Ye: it's time to pay for my mom's surgery.

That message woke me up completely. This isn't a game; it's a responsibility. Real money, real life and death for my family.

From that day on, I gave up the dream of high leverage. No more daydreams of tenfold overnight gains. I started treating trading as a craft, calming down, and redefining the rules.

The core principles are just a few—though execution can be unpredictable, persistence is the way to survive:

**Position size should be gradual**, layered deployment, gradually expanding the position, never greedily adding large positions all at once.

**Stop-loss is the lifeline**, strictly capped within 1%, cut losses quickly when wrong, no need to hesitate.

**Opportunities must be carefully selected**, only when the four-hour and daily charts both turn strong, and trading volume significantly increases, is it worth acting.

**Breakouts require volume support**, if the key support level isn't broken in the next three days, the breakout counts.

Our team started with just a dozen or so people, now there are over a thousand. For 28 consecutive months, we've never experienced a margin call. Some team members have paid off their mortgages, others have saved a safety fund for their families.

The pain from that crash now seems to be my greatest asset.

In the crypto world, there are no miracles—only rules. Success is never a fleeting glow; it's about stabilizing the account, feeling at ease, and allowing your family to sleep peacefully. Going solo is far less effective than a team moving forward together. True strength comes from a well-established system and mutual cooperation.

This path relies not on luck, but on discipline, persistence, and brains. Every step is laying the foundation for the future. If you're ready, join me in using rules to write our story.

Oh my god, losing two million down to fifty thousand was truly shocking. Just thinking about it is suffocating. But in the end, this guy didn't go to extremes; instead, he figured it out. This is the real ultimate comeback.

Oh my, seeing this story brought tears to my eyes. Losing two million directly was truly despair to the extreme, but that message... instantly brought me back. That's the real reason to keep on living.

Damn, the LUNA incident was truly a bloody lesson. Looking at this kind of sharing now, I feel a bit emotional. --- Two million down to fifty thousand... That must have been incredibly despairing. Luckily, I eventually came to terms with it. --- Honestly, compared to the dream of tenfold returns, what moved me was my family being able to sleep peacefully. --- The key is still the stop-loss. Most people die because they can't bear to cut their losses. --- A team of over a thousand people, twenty-eight months without a margin call. If this data is true, it's quite impressive. --- It's quite straightforward, but with so many "rules" in the crypto world, how many can truly be followed through? --- Since that moment in the bathroom until now, I have truly completed a mindset reshaping. --- Layered layout is indeed a viable approach, but execution is even more difficult than the rules themselves.

Damn, that LUNA wave was really crazy. Watching this guy's story now still gives me a bit of a scare. Honestly, two million disappeared in an instant. If it were me, I would also be devastated. But the news about his mom's surgery expenses really hit home. That was the real wake-up call. The discipline of a 1% stop-loss is something I need to learn; it's more reliable than any technical indicator.

Really, I was also in during the LUNA wave, feeling like two million evaporated into fifty thousand... That was the moment of clarity, damn it. The 1% stop-loss trick is brilliant; so many people die because they can't bear to cut their losses.

honestly this hits different when you realize trading discipline is basically like mise en place in a kitchen—everything prepped, layered, no rushing. the whole "farm-to-fork verification" applies here too, gotta trace back where each trade came from, nah mean?

Damn, that message was really on point. This is the best stop-loss signal ever.
