When the account fell from 500k to 5k U, I didn't choose to gamble again, but instead forced myself to calm down and executed three things.
**The first is to focus on pinning opportunities.** Only pay attention to those cryptocurrencies with high volatility, wait for the price to drop back near the 20-day moving average and then take action, entering with a light position at 5x leverage. As long as you can make a 5% profit, exit, and repeat this twice a day, like a robot. It sounds simple, but not many can really stick to it.
**The second is the window for the opening of the Kaxin coin.** Ten minutes before the new coin goes live, the market is very thin, and there is a large price jump space. I place a buy order in advance, keeping the position a bit lower, and once it is executed, I immediately place a sell order 3% higher. I take the profit and run, never being greedy.
**The third key point - profits must be withdrawn.** After my account returned to 20k U, I set a strict rule for myself: to withdraw half of the day's profits to a cold wallet at 8 PM every night. This habit saved me because too many people watch their accounts double but are reluctant to cash out, ultimately losing everything back.
During that time, I realized that technical skills are not the most scarce resource. What truly determines life and death is whether you can stick to the rules you set for yourself during the toughest times.
The market never shows sympathy; it only rewards those who can calmly execute their plans in despair. Turning the tide is not about luck, but about whether you can still adhere to discipline in the moments when you most want to give up. Walking alone is too exhausting; having goals, boundaries, and mutual supervision makes the path steadier. Staying alive is the first step; everything else comes after.

To be honest, compared to technology, I admire this guy's execution ability even more. The despair of falling from 500k to 5k, if it were me, I would have gone all in to make up for it long ago, but he instead locked in the new coin window and withdrew fiercely every night at eight... Isn't this the difference between those who come back to life and those who died inside?

You are absolutely right, discipline is indeed the most expensive. I understand the despair of losing five thousand on a five hundred thousand investment; many people lose everything in that moment, resulting in even worse outcomes. The three paths you mentioned essentially turn gamblers into workers, and mechanical execution can actually lead to a longer survival. The most heartbreaking part is still the third one, how many people fail because they are unwilling to lock in profits, watching the numbers return to zero... that is the most brutal part.

When it was 50w to 5k, I could still calmly execute the plan. This mental resilience is really strong... By that time, I had already all in to recover my losses, and the results you all know.
The detail of withdrawing at eight o'clock every night is incredible. Just this one habit can save so many people, but unfortunately, most people just can't do it.
I have also tried the Long Wick Candle opportunity, but I couldn't stick to it for two days before getting itchy to trade. It seems that discipline really is the most expensive thing.

To be honest, execution is indeed a weak point for most people. I'm also the kind who easily breaks down; when I see the account falling, I want to all in to recover, but it just gets worse. The most painful part is the last point, this habit of withdrawing at eight o'clock every night, I'm now forcing myself to develop it, it's too easy to be consumed by greed.
