$BTC took him from 1500U to 23,000U, but I deleted him as a friend

He previously followed group friends to invest in Dogecoin, and in two days, it went to zero three times, even putting in his rent

$ETH I didn’t teach him to read K-line combinations, just set three iron rules, who knew four months later, his account actually soared to 23,000U, but in the end, I still blocked him

The first iron rule is "Three pots of money, live separately"

I had him split 800U into three parts: three hundred for day trading, only opening one position each day, closing after a 5% profit; three hundred waiting for opportunities, absolutely not entering the market unless at support levels; finally, two hundred locked as "emergency funds", never to be touched even if the sky falls. At first, he mumbled, "How long will this little capital take to grow?" But after witnessing a colleague’s investment evaporate instantly, he silently opened the batch order interface

The second rule is "Only bite the main upward wave, do not gnaw on the oscillation bones"

The market is junk most of the time; I had him go to the gym directly during consolidation. One time ADA was flat for a week, and he asked me at midnight, "Should we ambush first?" I simply replied, "Wait for the volume." The next morning, a big bullish candle broke out, and we caught an 18% increase, and he finally understood that "not moving is ten times harder than moving chaotically." For every profit exceeding 15%, I forced him to transfer one-third to his bank account; the numbers on the screen are far less tangible than the SMS notification

The third and most crucial rule: "Let the system control the hand." Set a stop loss at 3% for each order, automatically close the position when the line is touched; move the stop loss to protect the capital immediately once profits exceed 8%. One time he traded LTC, and was 0.5% away from the stop loss point wanting to cancel the order, I directly sent him a screenshot of his liquidation record from three months ago. That night, LTC plummeted by 12%, and he stared at the only 1% loss in his account, finally realizing that "cutting losses is the protective charm."

But when the account broke 20,000U, he got carried away. He started mingling in signal groups, mocking others saying "Those who are timid won’t make big money," even leveraging fully to chase MEME coins.

After his capital retraced by half, he sent me a little essay at dawn: "If I had gone all in back then, I would have 50,000 by now." I flipped through the chat records where he once said, "Thank you, brother, for teaching me risk control," and suddenly realized: The market never eradicates the poor, it only eradicates the undisciplined gamblers.

Before deleting him as a friend, I sent one last message: "From one thousand five hundred to twenty-three thousand, it’s not the market, it’s the rules.

Rules can help you survive, but arrogance can bring you back to zero."

Discipline is the fundamental key to survival.
