#数字资产市场洞察 34-year-old courier Ada, in four days, lost all 48,000 yuan he had saved over two years, his hands trembling so much he couldn’t click the mouse. He asked me, "Bro, am I just born not cut out for this?"
I told him, the problem isn’t the track, it’s the approach. He treated trading as a high-stakes gamble where you win or lose everything; once his mindset collapsed, everything collapsed.
Later, I taught him a set of "Practical Combat Trilogy," and in one month, he turned 48,000 into 97,000.
**First Trick: Divide and Conquer**
He used to try to reverse the trend with one big move, but the more impatient he was, the worse it got. I told him to split his principal into 6 parts, only using one part at a time for each operation. It sounds simple, but the effect is huge—losing 900 yuan won’t blow his mind, and making 700 yuan won’t make him chase the market blindly. The market’s rhythm slowed down, and he regained his feel.
**Second Trick: Keep a Position as a Radar**
During a bull market, he often watched from the sidelines. I taught him to always reserve a portion of his position in the market; if BTC shows any unusual movement, he should test with small trades. This way, he won’t miss big opportunities, nor will he foolishly put everything in at once.
**Third Trick: Sleep Test Method**
A very simple standard: does the market wake you up at night? If yes, it means his position is too heavy. Ada now maintains a half-position for the long term—he feels pain when it drops, but doesn’t panic; he’s happy when it rises, but doesn’t get impulsive.
The key mindset shift is this—stop obsessing over "where I messed up again," and instead ask yourself every day: "What detail did I handle correctly in this trade?" Once your mindset stabilizes, your trading skills can truly flourish.
Last month, he used the "half-position + strict stop-loss" combo to turn 48,000 into 97,000. The market didn’t change, the coins didn’t switch, what changed was him going from being led by the market to actively engaging in it.
To put it plainly: trading is just a ranking game, not a life-and-death situation. As your level rises, your principal naturally becomes extra gains. Still struggling to break even? It’s not that you can’t do it, it’s that you’re using the wrong method.

This story really touched my heart, losing two years of hard-earned money in just four days... But that trilogy at the end really has something to it, especially the sleep testing method, which is incredible. I also got scared awake by the market several times before I understood what it means to be over-leveraged.

Oh no, this tactic of splitting positions is indeed brilliant. Once your mindset is steady, your hands won't shake anymore.

nah tbh the whole "position sizing fixes everything" narrative is giving survivorship bias... empirically speaking, what's the actual success rate here beyond one anecdote? the data suggests most retail traders still blow up regardless of portfolio structure 🤓

The tactic of splitting positions is really clever, but I think the more important thing is the mindset. Many people simply can't turn back.

The tactic of splitting positions is truly brilliant; doubling your investment in a month is not a dream.

Wow, sub-accounts are really awesome. I used to go all-in until I blew up.

Ah... in four days, I lost two years' worth of savings. My hands are trembling for him. But to be honest, the strategy of splitting positions is really brilliant. When your mindset collapses, going all-in is truly asking for death. I used to do the same before, but I realized later that slow and steady wins the race.

Lost two years' savings in four days... This guy's mentality is really崩了. But to be honest, this method of position sizing does have some merit, but can it really double your gains just by sleep testing? I don't believe you for a second...

Lost 48,000 in four days? Man, your mindset really is something else. I've been using the split position strategy for a while now, and it really works.
