In the 2022 LUNA crash, my account was directly wiped out by 1 million. In the end, holding only $30,000, I relied on a high-risk rolling strategy to recover to $1.57 million in half a year.

Honestly, this approach is extremely risky. I'll break down the tactics I used back then—see if it works for you—market never cares about feelings.

**Rule One: Lock initial position at 10%, cut loss at 5%**

With a principal of $30,000, the first trade only risks $3,000.

A 5% loss (which is $150) immediately triggers a stop-loss, no hesitation.

After the first trade profits, withdraw the principal immediately. For example, if $3,000 grows to $4,500, take out the $3,000, and continue with the remaining $1,500.

Why do this?

People who have suffered big losses are most prone to wanting to bounce back instantly—resulting in losing $30,000 in a few days, leaving no second chance.

**Rule Two: Only add to winning positions, never cover losses**

After a 30% profit on the first trade, add to the position = profit × 1.5 times.

For example: $3,000 earns $900, next time add $1,350, making the total position $5,250.

After two consecutive wins, I would put all profits into the position, but the stop-loss line must be moved up accordingly.

In October 2022, ETH rebounded from around $1,300. I rolled this strategy four times, turning $30,000 into $190,000.

Key point: Never add when in loss—only amplify when in profit.

**Rule Three: Trailing stop-profit, don’t hold through trend reversals**

For every 15% increase, move the stop-loss line up by 12%.

If the price falls below the trend line, even if the stop-loss isn’t hit yet, exit immediately.

Before the FTX collapse in November 2022, my account had grown to $370,000, but greed prevented me from taking profit, and the next day, it dropped to $120,000… I remember this lesson very clearly.

**Why can’t most people bounce back?**

Losing money makes them want to win it all back quickly (the more impatient, the faster they die).

When profitable, they’re afraid to add positions (missed compounding opportunities).

They lack clear operational discipline (driven by emotions).

**Does this method work?**

If you can execute stop-loss like a machine;

If you dare to keep betting after profits;

If you truly learn to risk with profits;

Then, turning $30,000 into $1 million is theoretically possible.

In crypto, no one will sympathize—it only rewards those who stay calm and disciplined.
