A voice message with a heavy smoky voice popped up: "Brother, this time I truly messed up..."

The account screenshot sent by Old Zhou furrowed my brows—originally prepared to buy a house with a down payment of 500,000, now only 38,000 remains. This is all the savings he has accumulated over ten years of hard work.

I was silent for a moment and replied: "Old Zhou, let's formulate a new battle plan."

The trading discipline for a counterattack

I set three strict rules for Old Zhou:

Divide the funds into 20 parts, with each order not exceeding 1500. Only make 3 trades a week, with a 24-hour interval. Lock in 30% profit immediately if a 5% profit is achieved, and unconditionally stop loss if losses exceed 3%.

In the first week, he was as nervous as a rookie. When he first went long on ETH and made a 2% profit, he wanted to run. I made him look at the home purchase contract on his phone: "Think about what it means if the price per square meter goes up by 500 yuan."

Ultimately, he achieved a 5% take profit, and the 750 yuan credited was just enough to pay one month's rent. That day he sent a message: "My wife said this is the most restful night I've had in half a year."

The most painful lesson: The luck-based mindset from that time

A month and a half later, the account returned to 62,000. But when DOGE surged, he got greedy: "Let’s wait a bit longer, maybe it can double..."

I directly sent him the chat record of the intermediary urging payment. He gritted his teeth and closed his position, missing out on a 15% profit. Three days later, the coin price halved. He laughed bitterly in the voice message: "It turns out knowing when to take profits is the real skill."

The turning point six months later

After strictly adhering to the rules for six months, the account steadily rose to 490,000.

The most thrilling moment was during that black swan event, where he only used 5% of his position to buy the dip as planned. Two weeks later, as the market recovered and the account broke 350,000, he was signing the home purchase contract.

At the moment the down payment transfer was successful, this tough guy's eyes turned red in the sales office: "It's been ten years... finally have my own home..."

Now's transformation

Now, Old Zhou has learned to exercise restraint.

"I used to think about getting rich overnight," he recently said in a voice message, "Now I understand that steadily earning enough for the mortgage every week is more substantial than anything else."

Yesterday, he sent photos of his new home renovation with a message saying: "Brother, thank you for making me understand that trading is not gambling, but a long-term battle."

Remember:

Divide funds into 20 parts, with each order not exceeding 1500. A maximum of 3 orders per week, with a 24-hour interval. Lock in 30% profit at 5%, and decisively stop loss at 3%.

I used to stumble alone in the dark, now the light is in my hands.
