After the margin call, I remained silent for a long time.
Not because I was heartbroken over the money — that money had already evaporated in the needles.
What truly troubled me was a sense of shame:
I lost to myself once again.
That day I turned off my computer and silenced my phone,
sitting on the edge of the bed, like a novice who had been knocked back to square one.
I suddenly realized:
A margin call is not just a loss;
it is a complete denial of your entire way of thinking.
It was from that day on that my turnaround truly began.
01. Step one: Accept reality — no one can gamble and live at the same time
In the past, when I faced a margin call, I would always think:
"I'm sure I can win this time."
"This time, the market is just too abnormal."
"I was just unlucky."
It sounds like he's trying to comfort himself.
But in reality, it's a refusal to grow.
After that explosion, I finally realized:
✔ I wasn't manipulated by the market.
✔ I'm not "unlucky"
✔ I didn't misread the direction.
✔ I don't have a single trading system that can survive.
In the past, I traded based on emotions, on impulse, and on feelings.
It would be strange if they didn't get liquidated.
A true turnaround begins with admitting defeat.
It is acknowledged that—
It's not the market that has wronged me; it's me who has wronged my principal.
02. Second step: Establish a position system that "won't explode".
Many people can't turn their lives around because:
Margin call → Trying to recover → Margin call again
Like reincarnation.
And the first thing I did after turning my life around was:
I swear—
From now on, none of my orders can possibly go out of business.
My new rules only have three:
① A single position shall not exceed 20% of the principal.
The same applies to even more certain opportunities.
② Stop-loss orders must be written before entering a trade, not after a loss has occurred.
Stop-loss is not about "only trying to recover losses after you've already lost money."
Instead, it means "determining the maximum loss before entering the market".
③ Always avoid consecutive losses (stop trading after two consecutive losing trades)
What you can't stop isn't the market trend, it's your emotions.
Just these three points alone,
I never had another one after that.
Notice:
Turning your life around isn't about learning how to make money, it's about learning how to avoid dying again.
03. The third step: From "betting on the direction" to "building a system"
I used to trade like I was buying lottery tickets:
Seeing green indicates FOMO (fear of missing out) and going long.
Panic and short selling when seeing red.
Go all in as soon as you see the message.
Seeing others get rich quick makes them impulsively place orders.
Later, I realized the truth:
Winning is a systemic victory; losing is a human failing.
I started breaking down the trades into models:
① Trend Model: Only trade one direction, avoid catching falling knives.
Don't buy during a downtrend; don't try to buy the dip during an uptrend.
Only trade on the right side; it's slow but steady.
② Position Model: Place orders only at key price levels.
Don't chase the highs or the lows, only buy on pullbacks and rebounds.
③ Risk control model: Stop loss per trade 1-3%, maximum daily loss 5%.
If it exceeds the limit, it will be forced to stop.
I transformed trading from an "emotional" approach to a "structural" one.
Since then, I have stopped being swayed by market trends.
04. Fourth step: Make rolling over positions "mathematical," not "impulsive."
The key to turning your life around is not getting rich overnight.
Instead, it allows the principal to grow steadily.
I started using my own rolling position method:
⚡ 1. Use profits to grow, not principal to grow.
The principal remains unchanged; only the profits fluctuate.
⚡ 2. The rolling position ratio should not exceed 40% of the profit.
The remaining 60% are all pocketed and will not be used in the next round.
⚡ 3. Roll only once a week, without accelerating due to emotions.
Rolling positions is not a "passionate game".
It's a compound interest project.
I used to dream of getting rich quick, but I ended up losing everything.
Now I'm thinking about surviving and making money.
That's the difference.
05. Fifth step: I stopped being a "market commentator" and started being an "opportunity executor."
I used to always study:
Why did the major players make this move?
Will this news affect the market?
Is someone manipulating the market?
Later I discovered:
These thoughts do not help in making money.
There are only two key things to making money:
● When should we go?
● When should I download it?
Others study trends, I study positions;
Others chase news, I chase probabilities;
Others gamble on tomorrow, I only focus on the present.
Turning over is not a sign of intelligence.
It's about focus.
06. Step Six: I turn trading into "discipline," not "excitement."
Honestly—
I lost everything in the past because I liked excitement.
It's not because I like making money.
Ask any seasoned veteran who has consistently made a profit over the long term.
They will all tell you:
Making money is boring.
Stimulants are expensive.
There is only one way to truly turn your life around:
You treat trading like a job.
The market treats making money as a reward.
I started doing three things every day:
✔ Post-mortem
✔ Write a trading log
✔ Control your emotions (don't get excited, don't act impulsively, don't hold a grudge)
Unexpectedly, in just three weeks,
My losses began to be gradually wiped out.
Then it starts to grow upwards.
At that moment I knew:
I rolled over.
It's not just about turning your account around, it's about turning your life around.
07. After the margin call, I was no longer the "gambler" I used to be.
I only understood after my account was liquidated:
What the market fears most is not experts.
He is a disciplined ordinary person.
You don't need talent.
All you need is:
No more wishful thinking
No more impulsiveness
No more full positions
No more lingering in battle
No more self-deception
No more running away
After my account was liquidated, I realized two things:
The market has no obligation to save you.
But you have the ability to save yourself.
And I did it.
