At 2:17 AM, my Discord popped up a message: "Brother Tian, can we voice chat?"
After connecting, the background noise of a pile driver came through my headphones. His name is A Qiang, 27 years old, working in an electronics factory in Dongguan. Three months ago, he followed the "Master" to trade contracts, and his savings of 100,000 have dwindled to 3,857 U.
"Brother Tian, I can’t even afford next month’s rent..." The electrical noise couldn't cover the tremble in his voice.
Week One: Quit Gambling
I asked him to do three things:
Uninstall all contract apps (screenshot for verification) Transfer 3,857 U to a cold wallet (cut off the possibility of impulsive trading) Copy ten times daily: "Leverage is the meat grinder for the poor"
He sent me a photo—his oil-stained fingers holding the copy note on the assembly line.
Week Two: Learn to Wait
I told him to do only two things every day:
Record BTC support/resistance levels (using pen and paper, no computers allowed) Write a trading diary: "Today I refrained from trading +1"
On the third day early morning, he couldn’t help but ask: "Brother Tian, can I buy now?"
I replied: "What are you rushing for? Rushing to lose another 3,857?"
Week Three: First Real Trade
When BTC revisited the weekly support level, I had him build positions in three batches:
First position of 200 U (stop loss if it falls over 3%) Add 200 U if it breaks the previous high, keep the rest to guard against extreme market moves.
He sent a voice message: "My hands are shaking, I can’t press the confirm button..."
I scolded: "Why weren’t you shaking when you opened 100x leverage back then?"
One month later
His account turned into 10,200 U, but he came to ask me: "Brother Tian, should I short?"
I directly scolded: "Just learned to walk and you want to fly? Stick to the rules!"
Late at night three months later
He sent a photo: his coworkers gathered around his phone, the screen showing an account balance of 69,000 U. In the background, a workshop slogan was posted: "Safety production, standardized operation."
"Brother Tian, I understand now," his voice choked, "It turns out you don’t need to trade every day to make money..."
I turned off the voice chat, thinking of the me ten years ago, eating instant noodles in an internet cafe, staring at the screen.
Advice to all retail investors:
The real wealth secret is just six words: "Buy low, sell high" Among all the "teachers", only time won’t deceive you. 3,857 U can turn around, as long as you are willing to slowly get rich.
The next wave’s layout has already been drawn up, with points, rhythm, and positions clearly marked. If you hang out with @币来财888 , no nonsense, just recognize one principle: precise targeting, no wasted effort.
But a harsh word upfront: Only take those with strong execution.
