#ETH走势分析 2800U to 140,000U: How a Trader Made a Comeback with Three Iron Rules

Last winter, I witnessed the meltdown of an ordinary retail trader—380,000 RMB wiped out in 90 days.

The night his account was liquidated, he deleted all trading apps, quit every signal group, and went offline for 47 days. Friends said it was like he disappeared from the face of the earth.

When we met again in spring, he only had one trading account left: 2,800U.

“Either I quit for good, or I prove I can get back up with just this money,” he said at the time.

From that day, he set three unbreakable rules for himself—not even one could be broken.

**Rule 1: Single position limit at 20%, must cut losses at 8%**

Small accounts rely on reaction speed, not stubbornness. If you’re wrong, admit it—no dragging it out.

**Rule 2: Don’t guess the bottom, don’t catch falling knives, only trade with the trend**

Is the direction unclear? Don’t enter. Is the market volatile? Stay away. Only act when the market gives you a clear opportunity; otherwise, just watch.

**Rule 3: Keep only 20% of each profit, withdraw the rest**

He treated the market as an ATM, not a piggy bank. Money earned had to be secured first.

The turning point was so ordinary you might not even notice the setup—

**First Trade: ETH’s Second Confirmation**

In the early morning of May 18, ETH formed a second retest confirmation pattern on the four-hour chart, and trading volume suddenly spiked.

He went long around 2360, set a stop loss at 2328, and committed 560U (exactly 20% position size).

That night, the price surged to 2590 and triggered his take profit. He made 1,120U on that trade, immediately withdrew 900U, and his account balance jumped to 3,820U.

**Second Trade: BTC Funding Rate Trap**

On May 21, BTC bullish sentiment soared and the funding rate spiked to 0.085%—a classic “bull trap” signal.

He flipped short with a light position, still keeping to 20% of his account.

Once the funding rate returned to normal, he closed the position and netted 740U, withdrew another 600U, and his account grew from 3,820U to 4,960U.

**Third Trade: SOL’s Overheated Pullback**

In early June, SOL accelerated upwards and became clearly overheated. He looked for a short around 163, set a stop at 165, and kept single-trade risk under 160U.

That night, SOL fell back to 154, netting a single-trade profit of 2,200U. His account instantly broke through 7,000U.

He never broke a single rule. Now his account is over 140,000U—not only recovering the 380,000 RMB loss, but also making an extra 36,000 in profit.

The market never lacks opportunities—what’s lacking is the ability to survive until the next one.
