After watching a well-known trader's recent trading review, I found it quite interesting.

In last year's trading, the biggest losses actually came from the Meme token craze. Bought in after PUMP launched, and ended up being trapped very deeply. Conversely, TRUMP, this Meme coin, became the only profitable project. The main profits actually came from HYPE, BTC, PENDLE, and ETHFI.

The data is a bit heartbreaking—only 33% of trades were profitable throughout the year. Not a high ratio, right? But how did this guy turn things around? It’s all about strict position management. The average return on profitable trades was a full 8.5 times that of losing trades.

What does this tell us? Not every trade has to be profitable. The key is that the scale of single profitable trades should far exceed the losses. Stop-losses need to be tight, and let the profits run. The strategy for 2026 is also centered around this logic. For traders, this methodology is quite worth pondering.

PUMP-8,59%

TRUMP-1,65%

HYPE3,36%

A 33% win rate relying solely on an 8.5x return ratio to turn things around. In plain terms, it means risk management was aggressive enough. Meme coins are a deep pit; that PUMP wave indeed took a lot of people, but the core issue was failing to stick to the stop-loss line.

Is a 33% win rate still recoverable? This guy is definitely a ruthless stop-losser. I haven't even unlocked my PUMP traps yet. It's just an 8.5x difference that keeps it afloat. What does that mean? Don't TM be greedy, take profits when it's good, cut losses quickly. That's the way to go.

A 33% win rate can still turn things around, which shows that truly it's an art to cut losses and take profits. I've been doing the opposite all along.

A 33% win rate can still turn things around—how ruthless must one be to do that? Exactly, that PUMP move was really a killer, luckily I didn't bet it all. An 8.5x difference... that's why some make a million a day, and others lose every day, really. I'm worst at cutting losses; I just hold on all the way.

A 33% win rate relying on an 8.5x return to turn things around—I'm convinced by this logic. The key is really whether the stop-loss is strict or not. That PUMP wave indeed taught a harsh lesson, but TRUMP actually made money. Meme coins are just that magical. But honestly, knowing this principle and being able to execute it are two different things. Most people still stubbornly hold on and refuse to cut losses.

A 33% success rate can still turn things around; the key is really in cutting losses and letting profits run. What I fear most now is stubbornly holding onto losing positions.
