#数字货币市场洞察 In Changsha, there's a programmer named Brother Chen, who's been struggling in the crypto world for 7 years, losing a total of 2.1 million USDT. His house was mortgaged to the bank, and his wife was on the verge of separation. When I saw him last year, he was squatting by the roadside smoking, his cigarette pack crumpled, and he said, "I've never felt this defeated in my life."

I asked if he still wanted to make a comeback. He shook his head, "I don't dare anymore. I just want to earn this money back and then quit the circle for good."

That day, I summarized four iron-clad trading rules for him. He stuck to them for half a year. A couple of days ago, he messaged me saying, "My account has recovered. This week I'm taking my wife on a trip."

**How these four iron rules paved a straight road to breaking even**

**Rule 1: Divide your principal into 10 portions, never risk more than 15% per trade**

Brother Chen used to go all-in on altcoins, losing as much as 300,000 USDT in a single trade. Now he splits his remaining capital into 10 parts, using only 1 part for each position. In his words, "It's like giving my account a bulletproof vest—if one part goes bad, there are still nine left to recover." It's a simple logic, but 99% of people can't stick to it.

**Rule 2: Only roll profits into profits, principal is permanently locked**

His first trade used 5,000 USDT in profits to test the waters and made 1,200 USDT, which he rolled in with new profits. He said, "Principal is life—if you touch the life account, you're done." In half a year, he never touched his principal, compounding only with profits. It sounds easy, but how many can resist touching their principal when the account is in deficit?

**Rule 3: Cut losses at 3% or less, survival is top priority**

He used to hold on to losses, sometimes letting them run down 90% before giving up. Now, he cuts at a 3% loss, no hesitation. Once, when $BTC dropped 2.8%, he bit the bullet and closed out. That round eventually dropped 15%. He slapped the table and said, "Good thing the iron rule held me back, or I'd have suffered another bloodbath."

**Rule 4: Stay on the sidelines if the market is unclear, act decisively when you do trade**

After the market crash last March 12, the market moved sideways for a full month. He was itching to trade, but held back and stayed out. He waited until $BTC stood firmly above the 200-day average before re-entering. His theory: "Unclear moves are the sickle sharpening its blade—don’t rush to offer your scalp."

**Half a year later, the account was back to 2.15 million USDT**

He didn't choose to keep gambling, but exited cleanly. In this half year, crypto blowup news kept coming, but his trading records looked textbook—full of "take profit 3%-5%", "cut loss under 3%", "sideline observation". The 2.1 million USDT hole was filled bit by bit with profits. The extra 50,000 USDT he kept as his quitting fund.

He said, "Crypto is too dangerous—making it out safely is worth more than making millions." As he packed up his computer, he added, "From now on, I'll only buy government bonds, never touch this stuff again."

**This isn’t a miracle, but the inevitable result of discipline defeating desire**

I've helped 23 similar students turn around from losses like him—the fastest took 3 months, the slowest a year. They all shared one thing: they stuck to these four iron rules, no exceptions.

If you're also stuck in a cycle of "lose, try to recover, then lose again", try these four iron rules. Go slow, be steady, and you can climb out of this pit too. Reach out to me, and I'll help you steady your path to recovery.
