I took him from 1800U to 8 times to 14,400U, but cleared to zero on the 29th day!\n\nRecently, a friend in crypto found me in despair, with only 1800U left in his account, saying "If I lose more, I will completely exit the circle."\n\nI pointed out his core problem: "To turn things around, you need to let go of the shortsightedness of 'taking the profit' and the obsession of 'holding on to the end.'\n\nDaring to take advantage of the trend and quickly cutting losses against the trend is the bottom line of trading." He nodded while holding his phone, with only a last bit of trust left.\n\nI had him split the 1800U into 10 parts, with no more than 10% of each position, and to withdraw half of the profits to a separate account when he reached a 20% profit.\n\nAt first, he questioned, "So slow?" I sent him past trading records: "The crypto world never lacks opportunities for doubling; what is lacking is the patience to avoid liquidation. Survive first, then talk about making money."\n\nIn the next 22 days, his execution was full on: he carefully analyzed the market before trading, strictly set stop losses and take profits, held onto positions that were in line with the trend, and immediately exited when touching stop losses against the trend.\n\nThe account steadily climbed: 2300U, 3700U, 6900U… on the 22nd day, 1800U had increased 8 times, reaching 14,400U.\n\nChanges started on the 23rd day.\n\nHe no longer synchronized trading plans, secretly increased his positions, reasoning that "the market can go higher." I repeatedly reminded him not to lose discipline; he verbally agreed, but on the 25th day, he unexpectedly went all-in on altcoins behind my back.\n\nWhen the account retraced by 38%, he panicked and sought my help, wanting to average down the cost. "Immediately stop loss, this is the last reminder!" I was firm in my attitude.\n\nBut he hesitated for a while and ultimately did not act: "Wait a bit, it will definitely rebound." This is the most fatal misconception for retail investors—mistaking holding on against the trend as persistence and treating luck as hope.\n\nOn the 29th day, as the market continued to plunge, his account cleared to zero.\n\nFrom 14,400U back to the starting point, it only took 4 days. I didn’t block him; I only sent one sentence: the hardest part of the crypto world is not doubling your money, but remembering why you could win after you’ve doubled.\n\nDoubling from 1800U relies on iron laws; clearing to zero stems from greed and luck.\n\nIf you are also struggling in trading, remember: daring to take advantage of the trend is the foundation for making big money, and quickly cutting losses against the trend is the bottom line to avoid liquidation.\n\nDiscipline is the largest capital; once lost, no matter how high the profits, they will ultimately be illusory. @juice13
