Three months ago, he was deeply trapped in 60,000 in online loans, unable to sleep all night looking at the mere 4000U left in his account. At that time, he only dared to hope for a double and first fill the hole.
I didn't give him a complicated strategy; I just let him do 'subtraction': quitting all signal groups, uninstalling social media, and deleting every source of 'wealth secrets.' In trading, he was only allowed to focus on four things: trend patterns, volatility cycles, position management, and compound accumulation. As soon as any distractions arose, they were immediately extinguished.
In the first seven days, he kept the leverage at the lowest, only entering and exiting within the most familiar candlestick patterns. The profits were as thin as a cicada's wing, but he finally managed to keep the daily losses firmly within 5%—a sense of 'not losing' that he hadn't felt in a long time.
In the second week, the market suddenly surged, and the screen was filled with "the bull market is here," making it hard for him to contain himself. I didn't discourage him, just sent a self-check form for him to write down the reasons for his last ten major losses. Once the words "chasing highs," "full positions," and "listening to news" were listed one by one, he silently reduced his planned position by 10%.
In the third week, he indeed missed a strong rise, but thus avoided a subsequent 40% crash. That night he sent a message: "It turns out that not trading has already surpassed most people."
In the fourth week, he began to practice rolling profits: when floating profits reached 10%, he would increase his position in batches, with each addition not exceeding 50% of the initial position, while gradually moving the stop-loss up to the breakeven line. The capital curve slowly climbed, and the drawdown never exceeded the previous high.
In the fifth week, he developed a new habit: writing trading notes daily, using traffic light colors to mark his mindset for the day—greed highlighted in yellow, anxiety marked in red. Whenever the red light came on, he would immediately close the software, stop trading, and take a break.
In the sixth week, the daily net profit exceeded 28,000 U, and for the next four days, he actively took profits and exited the market. There was no expansion, but rather a greater calm.
From 4000 U to 350,000 U, it took a total of 89 days.
Someone asked him, "Is it just good luck that he happened to encounter the market trend?"
He shook his head: "The market has always been there. It's just that money flows from the impatient to the disciplined."
To this day, people still ask:
"I only have 3000 U, can I still rise?"
"I've already lost everything several times, can I continue?"
His answer remained the same:
"Yes. But you must do three things—filter out all noise, control your hands, and strictly limit your positions. If you can't do that, no one can help you."
The market has never given up on anyone; it just calmly rewards those who follow the rules. If you execute self-discipline, profits will quietly happen.
In this trading practice, I only accompany those who truly wish to act with clarity.
