That night, I stared at the remaining 32,000 USDT in my account, my fingertip hovered over the power button for a long time. From peak to trough, a loss of 200,000 USDT felt like a boulder pressing on my chest, but what truly suffocated me was the clear awareness that I was repeating mistakes, like a cursed roulette, telling myself each time that this would be the last game, yet betting heavier chips in the next round.

At three o'clock in the morning, when the clock struck, I had just closed my last position with a loss of 4,700 USD. The moment I turned off the power, the world became terrifyingly quiet. Lying in bed, the heartbeat thundered in my ear, my back soaked with cold sweat, yet I didn't even have the strength to turn over. At that moment, I finally understood that what trapped me was never the market, but the chaotic sprint without rules.

Finding order in the ruins

I began to review the trading records of the past year with surgical precision. Every liquidation feels like a mirror, reflecting the fatal weaknesses hidden in human nature:

Why does the stop-loss always collapse at the critical point? Is greed making the stop-loss level a mere decoration?

Why is the judgment correct but the actions are reversed? Is fear blurring the trading signals?

Why can't I hold positions in both rising and falling markets? Is it a lack of respect for market rhythm?


Until one day, I wrote this sentence in my notes scattered with torn papers: Real profit is never accidental windfall, but a continuous accumulation under precise rhythm. This sentence became the cornerstone of rebuilding the trading system.

The trading philosophy for ordinary people

In three months, I completely overturned my previous trading logic, keeping only three core principles:

1. Rhythm first: Only fight prepared battles
No longer opening positions based on feelings, but establishing a dual verification system of 'signal + structure'. Only when the price breaks through key resistance levels, moving averages complete a golden cross, and trading volume simultaneously increases, is it considered an effective entry signal. Just like a boxer waiting for an opponent to show a flaw, attacking only at the most certain moment.

2. Position management: Always keep the capital to turn the situation around
Divide the funds into 20 equal parts, controlling the risk of each trade to 1%-2% of the total capital. Even with 10 consecutive losses, there is still enough ammunition to wait for opportunities. More importantly, this discipline freed me from the obsession of 'having to recover losses', turning trading from emotional driving into a mathematical game.

3. Compound rolling: Let profits run on their own
When the account accumulates to a certain safety cushion, use the 'pyramid adding method': Initially opening a position of 2%, adding 1% after a 5% profit, and adding 0.5% again after another 5% profit. This strategy allows profits to grow like a snowball while strictly controlling the risk of drawdown.

From insomniac to controller

Now at the trading desk, I no longer pursue the myth of 'hitting the mark every time'. With 8-10 high-probability opportunities each month, hitting hard with 5%-8% positions each time is enough to steadily grow the account. Daily earnings of 3,000 USD are no longer an unattainable dream, and during market surges, they can even exceed 5,000 USD.

But more precious than numbers is the sense of control over life. When trading becomes a process executed according to plan, and profits become a replicable model, those restless nights finally transform into the peace of deep sleep.

Written for you who are still groping in the dark

Friend, are you also at this moment:

Staying up late watching the candlestick chart, still forcing myself to find the next order after liquidation

Clearly knowing I should stop-loss, yet sinking deeper in luck

Constantly wavering between trying again and completely withdrawing

Please remember, trading is not a gamble, but a meticulously designed system project. Those things that cause you pain are precisely the signals for growth. If my story can let you see a glimmer of light, perhaps we can talk about how to turn chaotic trading into a controllable rhythm of life. After all, what allows you to sleep peacefully is never the numbers in the account, but the sense of certainty about tomorrow.
