$BTC from 200,000 U to 5,000 U,
You think you're trading, but in fact, you're just providing heads for the market.
In February, a brother found me: “Li Zi, my account only has 5,000 U left.”
$PTB I opened his records, and there was three seconds of silence.
Dozens of trades a day, fees higher than profits;
Rising without selling, hoping for a double.
Falling and stubbornly waiting for a miracle;
In the end, it directly crashed to the bottom.
I only asked him one question:
Are you trading, or are you gambling with your life?
You might be the same.
Three must-dos for retail investors:
1. High-frequency random trading
Staring at one-minute candlesticks until dizzy,
Thinking you're a day trading god,
But in reality, you're just a fee knight.
2. Belief in holding positions
Shouting “the bull will return quickly,”
But your account first returns to zero.
3. FOMO all-in
Seeing a hundred times profit dog and going all in, waking up with just a single digit left.
He was still staring at the market at three in the morning,
Finally, he broke down and asked me: “Li Zi, have I been slaughtered by the market?”
I said: No, you handed over the knife yourself.
I only made him change three things.
First cut: sniper trading
Delete all short cycles, only look at 4-hour breakouts or higher.
At most 3 trades a day, if you feel itchy, leave the keyboard.
Second cut: win big, lose small
First position no more than 10% (500 U).
When it rises 20%, sell half first,
Move the stop-loss on the rest;
If it loses 5%, cut immediately.
Third cut: discipline above all
If you have two consecutive stop losses, turn off the computer;
If emotions run high, stop trading;
Review every day, understand your losses.
Turning around relies not on all-in, but on calm + discipline + repeated execution.
Later he told me: “Li Zi, no one taught me before.”
I replied: It’s not that no one taught you, it’s that you refuse to admit you are gambling.
Remember: Those who get liquidated, 99% die from one sentence: “Just hold on a little longer and it will come back…”
Now, do you dare to open your trading records and see if you are really trading or just giving heads?
