Three months ago, he was still struggling with credit card debt — a hole of 50,000 that wasn't filled, with less than 5,000 U in his trading account, staring at it until he could see sparks.
At that time, he complained to me, with one solid thought: "If I can double it, that’s enough, I just want to pay off my debts, and I’ll be grateful."
I directly had him do something drastic: block the group entirely, uninstall Twitter completely, and clear out all those so-called 'insider news' and 'big shot predictions' without mercy.
Just keep four things in mind: price structure, market rhythm, position management, and compounding interest.
Other thoughts? As soon as they arise, extinguish them immediately, never be soft-hearted.
First week: suppress your 'gambling nature' first.
In the first week, he obediently lowered his leverage to 1x, only tackling the market ranges he could understand.
The profits were as thin as a layer of paper, but the advantage was stability — he locked in a maximum drawdown of 3%, no longer experiencing roller coasters like before.
Second week: The market went crazy, and he almost fell.
In the second week, the market surged like it was on steroids, and he was so eager to act, his mind full of "all in for a thrilling win."
I didn't waste time talking with him, I threw over a review sheet and asked him to clearly write down the 20 liquidation records: what he was thinking at the time, why he leveraged, and where he set his stop loss.
As a result, after writing it down, he broke out in a cold sweat and cut his position in half.
Third week: Those who avoided the crash understand the profits of 'not gambling'.
In the third week, he did indeed miss the strongest bullish candlestick and regretted it too late.
But he turned around and avoided a 30% crash; that night he sent me a message with just six words: "Turns out not gambling also earns."
I knew it, this kid finally got it.
Fourth week: He understood rolling positions, and profits began to snowball.
In the fourth week, he completely grasped the essence of rolling positions: earn money and then increase the position, moving the stop loss up as well.
Profits grew like a snowball, but the drawdown never exceeded the previous high, remaining very stable.
Fifth week: put a 'brake' on emotions, shut down if the score is below 60.
In the fifth week, he started a 'self-discipline new operation' — daily trading notes, and even used emojis to rate his trading emotions.
As long as the score is below 60, no matter how tempting the market is, shut down and disconnect from the internet, never compromise with yourself.
Sixth week: earned 34,000 U in a single day, and secured profits for five consecutive days.
In the sixth week, he directly experienced an explosion — earning 34,000 U in a single day, and then took profits for five consecutive days, never being greedy.
From 5,000 U to 400,000 U, it took exactly 93 days.
Later, someone asked him: "Did you just happen to catch a good market, was it luck?"
He shook his head and said: "It's not that the market is paying, it's clearly that the market has transferred the money from undisciplined people to disciplined pockets."
Now there are still people asking every day:
"I only have 2,000 U, can I turn it around?"
"I've already been liquidated three times, is there still hope?"
My answer has never changed:
You can turn it around, but you must first do three things —
Shut down all the messy news sources, put the brakes on emotions, and fasten the seatbelt on your positions.
If you can't do these three things, even a deity can't save you.
The market never shorts anyone; it just pays out according to 'discipline'.
Once discipline is in place, money will naturally come knocking.
Too many people in the crypto circle have fallen; I only help those who are willing to save themselves.
