When Ajie found me, his account balance was 1003.7U, and his chat window was full of selfies with red eyes: 'Brother, this is my last bit of money; if I lose again, I really have to delete my account.' I didn't show him K-lines, didn't explain MACD, only replied: 'Don't think about getting rich quickly; just follow me for 7 days of stable trading, and we can talk about tripling your money afterwards.'
On the morning of the 8th day, he sent a screenshot of 3802U, his voice choked with tears: 'It turns out you don't have to stare at the market until dawn to make money, and you don't have to guess the rise and fall!' This is not a miracle; it’s him following my rhythm, making 'position control, timing, and profit-taking' a reflex—someone who doesn't even understand technical analysis managed to avoid the pitfalls that retail investors often fall into.
1. The 'life-saving rhythm' of 1000U: only practice 'not losing' for the first 7 days.
On the first day, Ajie wanted to go all in on altcoins, but I held him back. The first instruction I gave him was to 'divide 1000U into 5 parts':
Trial position of 200U: only open 1 position per day, using 40U each time (not exceeding 20% of the trial capital);
Roll over 300U: only act when in profit, stop when in loss;
Reserve 500U: resolutely do not touch it for the first 7 days, to break the 'gambler's mentality.'
The first 3 days he traded were bumpy:
On the first day, he used 40U to buy BTC long, ran away after earning 8U (I set the profit-taking line at 20%);
The next day, the direction reversed, and according to the rules, he lost 3U and stopped loss, without averaging down;
On the third day, he hesitated until market close to open a position, wasting a whole day.
By the 7th day, the account only grew to 1120U, and he was anxious: 'This speed is worse than Yu'ebao!' I had him review the trading records: in 7 days, he didn't face liquidation, the maximum single loss was 3U, and the fees were only 5.2U—taking the first step with small funds is learning 'not to lose big money,' which is 10 times more important than 'making quick money.'
2. The explosion on the 8th day: earned 2800U with the '3-second rule' of market feel.
On the morning of the 8th day at 8 AM, BTC suddenly dropped 5%, and everyone in the group was shouting 'below 10,000 USD.' Just as Ajie was about to cut losses, I stopped him: 'According to the timing rules, it's time to try a position now.'
He followed my instructions and performed 3 actions:
Use 40U for a trial position: open a 10x leverage long position, set stop-loss at 0.8% (maximum loss of 0.32U);
Wait for 3 K-lines: confirm it’s not dropping anymore, then add 40U (total position 80U, less than 10% of the principal);
Sell half after a 2% rise: after one hour, when BTC rebounds, he first closes 40U to earn 16U, and waits for the remaining 40U to take profit.
By noon, this trade made a total profit of 280U. Even better, he used the rolling funds to add to his positions 3 times, achieving a total profit of 2800U that day—not because the technique was amazing, but because he didn’t trade chaotically during panic, hitting the market's 'breathing rhythm' just right.
Ajie later said in the review that the key is the '3-second rule':
When the market drops, wait 3 seconds before acting (to avoid impulsive cutting losses);
When the market rises, calculate the profit-taking before opening a position (for example, if 40U can earn a maximum of 8U, that’s sufficient);
If you can't understand the market, just close the software (in 7 days, there were 3 days he did nothing, yet he didn’t incur losses).
3. The 3 'clumsy actions' against technical analysis are 10 times more reliable than indicators.
Ajie used to study technical analysis every day, but the more he learned, the more he lost. These 3 actions allowed him to completely break free from 'guessing the rise and fall':
Only open positions at two time points:
At 8 AM (when the main players just start work) and 8 PM (when retail investors are most active), he deleted the trading software during other times. He found that '90% of the fluctuations are noise,' and his win rate for opening positions during these two times increased from 40% to 65%.
Use 'risk-reward ratio' instead of 'accuracy':
Calculate before opening each position: lose a maximum of 5U, earn at least 10U (2:1 risk-reward ratio). In 7 days, he got 4 trades right and 3 wrong, yet his total profit was 120U—retail investors always think 'every trade must be right,' while experts know 'getting one trade right can cover three wrong ones.'
Profit means 'pulling the plug':
Stop after making 50% of the target, for example, if he aimed to make 200U that day, he would close the software at 100U. On the 6th day, Ajie could have made more, but he followed the rules and stopped, avoiding the evening's pullback and preserving an 80U profit.
4. The 3 stages of tripling 1000U, a foolproof operation table.
When Ajie reached 3200U in his account on the 15th day, he withdrew 1000U of principal, leaving 2200U to roll over. He said: 'Looking at the money credited to my bank card, I finally understood what you meant by 'first ensure survival, then make money'—I used to always think about how much to earn, now I only calculate how much I can lose.'
Fifth, why do those who understand technology end up losing? These 3 pitfalls should be avoided.
When reviewing, Ajie listed his previous 'self-destructive operations':
Use technical indicators to find 'precise points': for example, if you predict BTC will drop to 18,000 USD, but it rebounds 100 USD below that, and you hold on until liquidation;
Change strategy upon making a profit: used method A to earn 500U, felt it was not fast enough, switched to method B and lost it back;
A person trading blindly: no one stopping him, opening positions at 3 AM, fully invested in chasing hot spots, all emotional decisions.
Now, he has joined our 'Stable Trading Community,' sending plans before opening positions, and if he incurs 2 consecutive losses, he is forced to stop—what retail investors lack is not technique, but 'someone to call a halt when you feel impulsive.'
Finally, here are 3 big truths for players with 1000U:
Don't believe 'technical analysis can get you rich'; Ajie can’t even understand K-lines, yet he earns more than those who draw trend lines every day;
Change 'how much to earn daily' to 'how much can I lose daily': 1000U can lose a maximum of 50U daily, yet can earn 200U instead;
One person can't compete with a team: 70% of our community consists of newcomers like Ajie, relying on mutual monitoring and forced stop-losses, achieving a win rate 40% higher than trading solo.
Ajie now spends only 20 minutes every day trading, while the rest of the time he works and spends time with his family. He says what he is most grateful for is not the method, but that he understands 'making money in the crypto circle can be as stable as clocking in for work.'
In the next market cycle, we are preparing to bring 1000U new students for practical operations, sending daily opening times and profit-taking points. Those who want to escape the nightmare of staring at the market can follow me @bit多多 —1000U can triple; it’s not about technique, it’s about whether you dare to put down your 'cleverness' and repeat simple actions.
Remember: what can take you from collapse to profit is never a complex indicator; it’s having someone help you hit the brakes and set the pace.
