Three months ago, a female fan from Hangzhou found me:
"Teacher, can you say a word to me? I'm afraid I won't make it through tonight."
Her name is A He, born in 1993, a mother of two children.
Last year, her husband’s business failed, leaving them with a debt of 600,000 yuan. She invested her dowry of 80,000 U into a contract, hoping to "take a gamble," but ended up losing everything overnight, with only 3,000 U left in her account.
Today, her mother-in-law is waiting in the hospital with her feverish little daughter, but she can’t even come up with 500 yuan for the IV fee.
She sent me a voice message at the subway entrance, with the sound of rain in the background, mixed with her suppressed sobs:
"I don’t want to turn things around; I just want my child to not stop the medication tomorrow."
I sent her 12 characters:
"Go home first, open the umbrella, and I will give you a solution."
Then I gave her three strict rules—
1. Only trade what you understand
Turn off the 1-minute and 5-minute charts; only look at 4 hours and above.
If you haven’t broken through the key level, don’t lift a finger; missing out on ten opportunities is better than making a mistake once.
At most three trades a day; if you feel itchy, go for a run and lock your keyboard in a drawer.
Opportunities in the market are not snatched; they are waited for.
2. Rolling position method: Let profits run, let losses stop
Initial position always ≤ 10% of total funds; for 5,000 U, the maximum is 500 U.
Take profit on half at a 20% gain, and use a trailing stop to lock in profits, let the bullets fly.
Cut losses at 5% directly; do not add to positions, do not average down, do not fantasize.
Stop-loss is a life jacket, not a shackle.
3. Discipline is life
Write notes for every trade: entry reason, stop-loss level, take-profit level, emotional score.
If you have two consecutive stop-loss trades, shut down immediately and fight again the next day.
Weekly review, with only one goal: Understand losses, earn thoroughly.
The market never rewards hard work; it only rewards calmness.
She followed the advice. Three months later, her account returned to 105,000 U.
Last night she sent me a video: her little daughter was discharged from the hospital, holding a lollipop and sweetly saying, "Thank you, uncle."
A He quietly added off-camera:
"Teacher, it turns out the market never lacks opportunities; what it lacks are people who wait for opportunities."
If you are also staring at those green numbers late at night, don’t let the coldness of the account overshadow the warmth of home.
Write down these three rules, stick them to the edge of your screen, survive, and you will have another chance to pull the trigger.
