Daily life in the leek field

Is there someone like that around you:


Charging into a bull market, but getting stuck in a bear market;


Chasing highs and selling lows, operating fiercely like a tiger, but looking back to find the account only has pants left;


Clearly calling oneself a "long-term investor", yet couldn't help but cut losses in three days.


To be honest, when I first entered the circle, I was also like this, being cut more than once.

At that time, I thought this market was a casino - relying on luck to make a living.

But later I realized that real experts make a living based on logic.


An 800U account

The incident happened last month.

A friend approached me, with only 800U left in his account, his overall state was - mindset shattered, completely giving up, ready to liquidate at any moment.


He said: "Brother, I just want to recoup my losses, is that possible?"

I smiled:

"Recouping losses is not about gambling, but about using the right logic and rhythm. Listen to me once, strictly follow my position rules, not a penny more or less."


He was half convinced but nodded anyway.


3. My only logic

I didn't give him anything too complicated, just one core logic - follow the trend, enter and exit in batches.

It sounds very ordinary, but most people can't do it.


The specific execution is as follows:

First, test the position with 30% of 800U, and once the market moves as expected, increase it to 50%;


Each time profits reach 3%-5%, lock in part of the profit first, don't be greedy;


If the judgment is wrong, decisively stop loss, never give the market a second chance to hurt you;


Never go all in, never put all bets on one throw, never blindly chase prices.


I told him:


"Your task is not to make a huge profit at once, but to survive time and again, keeping the account alive, only then is there a chance to double."


4. First wave: Small wins stabilize the mindset

In the first order, he followed my rhythm, and when he made less than 5% profit, I had him partially close the position.

He was a bit confused: "Is it really time to exit so soon? Shouldn't we take a bit more?"

I said: "You need to learn to harvest profits, not let them turn back into losses."


After the first wave, the account rose from 800U to 865U - not much, but the mindset stabilized.



5. Second wave: Acceleration period

In the next two days, the market moved in the direction we expected, and I had him increase his position to 50%.

Only take one or two opportunities each day, never act rashly.

The win rate for those few trades was very high - some profits and some losses, but the profits were always greater than the losses.

Three days later, the account reached 1100U.


At this moment, his eyes changed, no longer the eyes of a gambler, but those of a planned, rhythmic trader.



6. Outbreak: The market gave a gift

By the fourth day, a significant trend signal appeared.

I advised him to follow up with 50% of his position and set take profit and stop loss in advance.

As a result, this wave directly pulled up more than ten points.

We took profit in three batches - each time locking in profits, not giving the market a chance to reverse.


After this trade, the account jumped directly to nearly 1800U.

He was a bit excited, and I reminded him: "Remember, you are just getting started, excitement is the enemy of trading."



7. Cycle execution: Doubling doesn't rely on luck

In the following days, we repeated the same rhythm:


Strict position management


Discipline in taking profits and stopping losses


Only enter when there is a trend signal


There are no magical indicators, nor insider information - it all relies on rules and execution.


By the end of the month, his account was close to 5000U.

Yes, from 800U to nearly 5000U seems exaggerated, but the process is the result of accumulating small wins over time.



8. The truth of position management

Many people think doubling their money relies on a single lucky bet, but that way leads to quicker losses.

Real doubling is achieved this way:


Gradual management of the principal


Main position: Follow the trend

Testing the position: Confirming


Reinvest profits

Use the profits to increase positions, not to hard hit with the principal


Always leave some margin


You can be wrong, but you can't be completely wrong


9. Save the words for the end

I know many people will think after reading this story: "This is bragging, how can the market be so smooth."

That's right, there is luck in this story, but more is execution and rules.
