I led him from 1500U to 23,000U, and in the end, I deleted him from my friends list.
He once followed group friends to aggressively trade Dogecoin, losing everything three times in two days, even using his rent money.
I didn't teach him to analyze complex candlestick patterns, only setting three iron rules. Who knew that four months later, his
account actually surged to 23,000U.
But in the end, I still blocked him.
The first iron rule is: "Split the funds into three parts, live separately".
I had him break 800U into three parts: three hundred for day trading, only opening one position each day, and shutting down after earning 5%; three hundred to wait for opportunities, never entering unless at crucial support; finally, two hundred locked as "emergency funds", which should not be touched even if the sky falls.
Initially, he mumbled: "How long will it take for this little principal to grow?" But when he saw colleagues trading
contracts and evaporating funds in an instant, he finally quietly opened the interface for placing orders in batches.
The second rule is: "Only bite the main upward trend, do not gnaw on the oscillating bones".
The market is in a trash state 70% of the time, so I told him to simply go to the gym during consolidation. Once
ADA was flat for a week, he asked me at midnight: "Should we ambush first?" I replied, "Wait for volume."
The next morning, a big bullish candle broke through, and we enjoyed an 18% increase. He finally understood:
staying still is often ten times harder than making random moves.
For every profit exceeding 15%, I forced him to transfer one-third to his bank card—numbers on the screen are
never as real as the SMS notifications.
The third and most critical rule: "Let the system control your hands".
Set a stop loss at 3% for each order, and automatically close positions when the line is touched; if profits exceed 8%, immediately move the stop loss to protect the capital. Once he traded LTC, missing the stop loss point by 0.5%, he wanted to cancel the order, and I directly sent him a screenshot of the liquidation from three months ago.
That night, LTC plummeted by 12%. He stared at the mere 1% loss in his account, realizing for the first time:
cutting losses is the true protective talisman. Four months later, his account rose to 23,000U, but he started to get carried away. He mixed in trading groups, chased MEME coins with full margin, and after a half drawdown, he still complained: "If I had gone all in back then, I would have made a fortune already."
Before deleting him, I left a final message:
"From 1500U to 23,000U, it’s not about the market, it’s about the rules.
Rules can help you survive, but arrogance can bring you back to zero."
Remember, the true life-saving factors are never the opportunities for quick profits, but the discipline ingrained in your bones.
