Today I talked to everyone about that fan Xiao Zhang who lost one million in a single trade. He used to like to go all-in, buying heavily as soon as the market turned, and the result was predictable—there was a time when he lost so much that he didn't dare to open his account and directly deleted the app.
At the beginning of this year, he came to me with not much capital and said something very sincere: "I don't want to gamble anymore, can you teach me some real ways to survive?"
I told him: "Forget about doubling your money, first learn not to lose."
We didn't make any earth-shattering trades; we started from the basics: position management, strict stop-loss, and taking profits in batches. This time, he really settled down and followed along trade by trade.
The changes happened slowly. The account went from extreme volatility to gradually stabilizing, and his mindset shifted from anxiously chasing gains to patiently waiting for opportunities. Let's talk about this trade.
He opened a short position around 530 and held it until exiting at 380. This trade earned him 46,080U, with a return rate exceeding 475%.
Never open a position that exceeds thirty percent, no matter how good the market is, never go all-in.
Always set a stop-loss, exit on time, and don't let any losses spiral out of control.
Regularly take profits, transfer to the spot account—only the money that has been withdrawn is real money.
Now his total account assets are steadily growing, reaching the level of 670,000U. This is not a story of getting rich overnight, but rather a result accumulated trade by trade, with rules and patience.
In this market, what is rewarded is never the bold, but those who are disciplined, patient, and can wait as well as run. He was able to come out not because of luck, but because he finally understood the rules and controlled his actions.
If you have also traded frequently, often found yourself trapped, and earned only to lose it back, perhaps it's time to stop and think: is it time to change your approach?
