Three months ago, Xiao Yu sent me a screenshot of his account, with only 4700U left. Last night he sent another screenshot: 38500U. A full 8 times. I replied to him: "As expected, you only learned four words - trend + position control."

Lesson One: First ask for direction, then ask for up or down

I sent him the weekly MA20 chart, only going long above the line, only going short below the line. Xiao Yu found it slow, but a week later he came back to thank me: trend-following trades have far away stop losses, big space, and profits roll in like a snowball; counter-trend trades earn 10% with anxiety, while losing 30% disappears in the blink of an eye. The direction is right; profit is just a by-product.

Lesson Two: Position size is not timidity, it's calculated shooting

I had him divide his funds into 20 parts, with the first position being 1 part, adding 1 part for profit, up to 5 parts, while the remaining 15 parts are "options to survive." He calculated: for the same 20% volatility, being fully invested and facing a 20% drawdown leads to a mental explosion, but a split position with a 4% drawdown allows for sleep. If you can sleep, you can endure until the trend accelerates.

Lesson Three: Rhythm is worth ten thousand times more than points

I gave him only two triggers: 1. Price breaks the previous high or low + volume increases; 2. Four-hour MACD golden cross/death cross. When both appear, take action; if one is missing, have tea. Xiao Yu said that watching the market used to feel like binge-watching a series, now it feels like fishing, casting the rod while lying in a chair. Real opportunities don't lack trailers, but rather patience to watch the ads to the end.

Lesson Four: Mindset is not mysticism, it's calculated

The first time he faced a 12% drawdown, he panicked. I wrote the drawdown limits down on a sticky note and placed it on the screen: single trade 2%, daily 6%, monthly 12%, shut down if breached. Writing the rules down gives no room for emotions to run wild. Later, he took a photo of the note and set it as the group avatar; we called it a "talisman."

Lesson Five: Compound interest is not a miracle, it's about repeating the correct actions

Now, after the market closes each day, he only does two things: 1. Take a screenshot of the daily chart and archive it, marking the "trend confirmation point" in red; 2. Write the position changes into Excel, automatically calculating the R value. Once he accumulates 100 charts and 100 records, 8 times is just the passing line. The market doesn't remember how much you earned yesterday; it only looks at whether your next trade still follows the rules.

Conclusion

There are many souls lost on the crypto road, and I have guided many, with Xiao Yu being the fifth to double this year. The secret? Still the same four words: trend + position control. Understanding is fate; accomplishing it is capital. @小花生说币
