He went from 9000 USDT to 70,000 to 80,000 USDT, while I deleted him from my friends. Previously, he made a small profit when following the short-sellers, but in a moment of impulsiveness, he went all-in on a low-quality coin, resulting in total loss after a short time.

Later, he found me, and I didn’t teach him how to analyze candlestick patterns, but I set three iron rules. Who would have thought that four months later, his account actually surged to 23,000 USDT, but I still ended up blocking him.

The first iron rule is to split the money into three parts and live separately.

I had him divide the 9000 USDT into three portions: 3000 for intraday trades, opening only one position per day and shutting down after making 5%;

3000 to wait for opportunities, never entering the market unless it reaches support;

The last 3000 is locked as emergency funds, not to be touched even if the sky falls.

At first, he claimed that this small amount of capital would take ages to grow,

But when he saw his colleagues making all-in trades evaporate in an instant, he finally quietly opened the interface for placing orders in batches.

The second rule is to only bite the main uptrend and not chew on the choppy bones.

The market is in a garbage trend 70% of the time, so I told him to hit the gym directly during consolidations.

Once, when ADA was sideways for a week, he asked me in the middle of the night whether he should set a trap. I just replied to wait for volume.

The next morning, a big bullish candle broke out, and we caught an 18% increase; that’s when he understood that staying still is ten times harder than acting recklessly.

For every profit exceeding 15%, I forced him to transfer one-third to his bank account; the numbers on the screen are not as real as the SMS notifications.

The third and most crucial rule: let the system control your hands.

Set a stop loss at 3% for each trade, and trigger automatic liquidation when the line is touched; for profits over 8%, immediately move the stop loss to break even.

Once, when he was trading LTC, he almost pulled an order back when it was 0.5% from the stop loss, and I directly sent him a screenshot of his liquidation record from three months ago.

That night, LTC plummeted 12%, and he stared at the mere 1% loss in his account, realizing for the first time that cutting losses is the real protective charm.

But when the account broke through 20,000 USDT, he got carried away. He started mingling in various signal groups, mocking others for being timid and not making big money, even leveraging to the max to chase MEME coins.

After his principal was cut in half, he sent me a little essay at dawn: "If I had gone all-in back then, I would have had 50,000 by now."

I flipped through the chat records and saw his previous message, "Thank you, Uncle Nan, for teaching me risk control," and suddenly realized: the market doesn’t actively swallow people, it only eliminates rule-breaking gamblers.

Before deleting him from my friends, I sent the last message: "From 1500 to 23000, it’s not about the market, it’s about the rules.

Rules can help you survive, but arrogance can lead you back to zero. Discipline is the foundation of survival.
