Last year, I took on a student whose account only had 5000U left.
When he first came to me, he laid out a record of a 100,000U liquidation on the table, like handing over a critical illness notification.
Three months ago, he was still the 'High-Frequency Warrior':
Cutting one-minute K-lines faster than Douyin, dozens of trades a day, and the transaction fees were more aggressive than the principal;
Staying up at three in the morning watching Dogecoin, jumping in FOMO as soon as someone in the group shouted 'Go all in';
Waking up to see the coin had dropped 80%, and the group was left with just emojis.
He asked me: Teacher, am I just destined to be cut?
I turned his phone upside down on the table and said only one thing:
"If you want to turn the tables, first put down the Gatling gun and pick up a sniper rifle."
From that day on, I gave him three iron rules—still my first lesson to newcomers.
1. Only trade in certain markets
Throw the 1-minute K-line into the trash, and look at least at the 4-hour chart.
If the breakout isn’t confirmed, just wait; missing ten trades is cheaper than making one wrong trade.
Open positions a maximum of three times a day, if you feel an urge, go for a run. If you still want to place an order after running, then do it.
2. Devil's Rolling Technique
The first position is always ≤10%, take profit on 20% and close half, leave the remaining half with a trailing stop.
If it loses 5%, cut it off immediately, do not average down, do not pray.
Stop-loss is not a cost, it’s a life jacket.
3. Discipline over everything
If you lose two trades in a row, turn off your phone and sleep, review it the next day.
For every trade, write three sentences: why you entered, why you exited, how to do better next time.
Kick emotions out of your account and write the records into your bones.
He followed the advice.
In the first month, the account crawled back by only 7%.
In the second month, the rolling technique started to show its power, profits snowballed to 28%.
In the third month, he set the stop-loss order as his phone wallpaper and never touched it again.
By the end of the year, the account returned to 46,000 U.
He treated me to drinks and asked:
"Teacher, why did no one teach me this before?"
I raised my glass:
"Because 99% of people would rather face liquidation than admit they are gambling."
If you want to turn the tables, first become a survivor;
As long as the principal is still there, opportunities still exist.
If you are also staring blankly at the K-line in the middle of the night, feel free to follow @小花生说币 ,
I will accompany you to finish the remaining journey.
