He previously followed his friends to recklessly invest in Dogecoin, losing it all three times in two days, even using his rent money. When he was at his wit's end, he found me. I didn't teach him complex candlestick patterns, but established three iron rules.

## First Iron Rule: Split Your Capital

I had him divide his 1500U into three parts: 300U for day trading, making only one trade a day and shutting down after a 5% gain; 300U to wait for swing trading opportunities, never entering unless at key support levels; and finally, 900U locked as “emergency funds” that he wouldn't use even if the sky fell. Initially, he grumbled, "How long will it take to grow this little capital?" But after witnessing a colleague's contract evaporate in an instant, he quietly opened the screen for staggered ordering.

## Second Iron Rule: Only Bite the Main Uptrend, Not the Fluctuating Bones

The market is trash 70% of the time, so I told him to go to the gym or read during consolidation, not to waste energy staring at the charts. Once, when ADA was stagnant for a week, he messaged me at midnight asking, "Should I ambush first?" I replied with just two words: "Wait for volume." The next morning, a strong bullish candle broke the consolidation range, and we steadily captured an 18% gain. That’s when he understood, "Staying still is ten times harder than acting recklessly." More importantly, for every profit exceeding 15%, I forced him to transfer one-third to his bank card—numbers on the screen look good, but nothing is as real as the SMS notification.

## Third Iron Rule: Let the System Control Your Trades

Every trade must have a mandatory 3% stop-loss, with automatic closing when hit; no manual withdrawals allowed. If profits exceed 8%, immediately move the stop-loss to break even, leaving no chance for the market to reverse. Once, when he was trading LTC, he was 0.5% away from the stop-loss point, and I said, "If you want to withdraw, wait a bit more," sending him a screenshot of his liquidation record from three months prior.

But when his account exceeded 20,000U, he got carried away. He began mingling in various signal groups, mocking others in the group as "cowards who can't make big money," and even secretly leveraged his entire account to chase MEME coins.

When his principal was halved, leaving only 10,000U, he sent me a lengthy message at 3 AM: "If I had just listened to you and went all in back then, I would have over 50,000 by now. It’s all your fault for making me too conservative!"

I flipped through the chat records and recalled his earlier message: "Thanks, bro, for teaching me risk control; I’m finally not afraid of liquidation anymore." I suddenly realized: the market never eliminates the poor; it only eliminates the reckless gamblers. @crypt-森财
