I have seen the fiercest fan, starting with 2000U and rolling to 56,000 in 45 days. It's not about bravery, but about ingraining the fear of loss into the strategy.
On his first day, he wanted to go all in at the first sight of a price movement; I immediately told him to stop: first learn how to lose without pain, then think about making money.
I drew three red lines for him, and he didn't break any of them.
1. Split management, do not disturb the foundation.
Divide 2000U into three parts:
800U locked and untouched, treated as the last bullet;
800U used for daily liquidity, maintaining operational flexibility;
400U placed in a cold wallet, never to be used unless in extreme market conditions.
For each trade, use at most 20% of your liquid funds.
Even if you face a margin call, first lose the profits, and the principal remains untouched.
2. Lock in profits immediately, never let them evaporate.
For every 100U earned, withdraw 50U immediately, and keep the other 50U rolling.
Once profit turns into assets, it will never return to the market.
A snowball can grow larger and larger, but the core must be that unmelting 'ice core'.
3. Filter out noise, only look at signals.
I only trust the system.
Last week, when both sides were arguing and trending at midnight, he almost jumped in— I just closed the computer: sleep.
At 2 AM, with a clear signal of rising volume and price, we opened a long position with one click, taking 8% in twenty minutes. Margin call information flooded the screen, and we turned off the computer and went to sleep.
The vast majority lose because they 'can't wait': feeling that if they don't buy the dip now, they'll miss out on a fortune, and if they don't cut losses, they'll go to zero.
But the market is always there; if you miss this time, there will be another chance. But if the principal is gone, you really have nothing left.
Do you want to turn things around?
First learn to wait with an empty position, then talk about riding the waves.
Before the signal comes, patience is your best leverage.
