A fan I once had, online name A-Nan, born in 1994, from Hubei.

The day he added me, his account had only 18,000 USDT left, his speech carried a sense of urgency, like a battery charging while in use, ready to burst at any moment.

I didn’t talk to him about trends, but asked him to do one thing: print out his historical liquidation records and cover one wall of his bedroom with them.

Then turn off the lights, light a small candle, and have him read out each liquidation reason, changing them all to the same sentence:

"I died from being impatient, heavy-handed, and fantasizing about getting rich overnight."

After reading, burn them and sprinkle the ashes into a flower pot, using them as fertilizer for the pothos plant. The ceremony was over, and the training began.

The first lesson was not about drawing lines, but about the 'metronome.'

There were only three rules:

1. Divide the principal into 20 pieces, each 5%, with a stop loss of 3%, a take profit of 10%, and a maximum of three trades per day.

2. Set a four-hour alarm on the phone; when it rings, lock the screen and drag the exchange icon into the 'fridge' app.

3. For the first half month, profits can only be withdrawn, even if it's just enough to buy a cup of milk tea, it must be transferred to a cold wallet.

During the first fourteen days, he cursed at my voice messages like they were a lullaby.

On the fifteenth day, early in the morning, he sent me a message: "The account has returned to 23,000 USDT, I think I can hear the ticking of the second hand now."

From the sixteenth day onward, profits were allowed to be taken, but the principal continued to be locked.

I taught him one phrase: profits roll into profits, while the principal remains as a fossil.

Leverage is not an elevator, but a staircase, raising a level only after every 10%.

On the forty-third day, A-Nan rolled his 18,000 USDT up to 172,000 USDT.

He invited me to eat hot pot, with the red oil bubbling, and suddenly he put down his chopsticks and said:

"What I fear most now is not liquidation, but forgetting my walking rhythm."

As he was leaving, he stuck three phrases on the cover of his notebook:

Don't rush—market trends are like subways; if you miss this one, there’s always the next;

Don't be greedy—profit is interest, not a lottery;

Don't gamble with your life—surviving allows for infinite turnover.

Later, I let this 'Pothos Rhythm Method' guide over a dozen accounts, starting from 2,500 USDT to 50,000 USDT.

The ones who survive are not the smartest, but those who know how to hit the pause button.

The market is never short of opportunities; what’s lacking are those who can survive to deal the cards.

If you are also on the edge of liquidation, or have just managed to recover but don’t know the next step, follow @小花生说币 . I only take one type of person: one who can turn off the market as soon as the alarm rings.
