"Teacher, I... I really can't hold on anymore..." A fan named "Xiaoyu" sent a screenshot showing that her original account balance of 120,000 yuan had dwindled to a glaring 8,300 yuan—this was the targeted drug money she prepared for her mother with liver cancer.
I stared at that number for a long time and replied: "From now on, do as I say."
【Iron Rule: Learn to Walk on the Edge of the Cliff】
I set three survival rules for Xiaoyu:
Divide the remaining funds into 8 parts, with each trade not exceeding 1,000 yuan; daily trades not exceeding two; withdraw 30% immediately after making a profit of 5%; and stop loss immediately at a 3% loss.
In the first week, she messaged me almost every hour asking questions. During her first short position on ETH, she wanted to close the trade after making a 3% profit. I had her open a photo of her mother: "Think about how much a single targeted drug costs." Ultimately, she took profit at 5%, and the 500 yuan that arrived was just enough to buy a box of painkillers. That night, in a voice message, she choked up and said: "Mom said this was the best night of sleep she’s had since being hospitalized."
【Blood and Tears Lesson: Stopping Losses is a New Beginning】
A month later, the account returned to 12,000 yuan. But when LINK plummeted, she stubbornly believed "if I just wait a little longer, it will come back." I directly sent her a screenshot of the hospital's payment notice. Trembling, she closed her position, incurring an 8% loss. Three days later, the price of that coin was cut in half. She cried in a voice message: "It turns out that admitting defeat in time is the real victory."
【The Darkest Moment Before Dawn】
After strictly following the rules for three months, the account miraculously returned to 90,000 yuan. The most thrilling moment was during a market crash when she followed a 1:2 ratio for margin calls. On the fourth day after the margin call, the market suddenly rebounded. When the account soared to 70,000 yuan, she was at the hospital's payment window. Hearing the successful transfer notification, she choked on her phone: "Mom, we have money to continue treatment..."
【Transformation from Cocoon to Butterfly】
Six months later, Xiaoyu was already able to calmly face the intense market fluctuations. "I used to always think about making a big turnaround with one trade," she said, "now I understand that steadily earning medical expenses every day is more practical than anything else."
Last week she sent a photo of her mother smiling at the discharge door. "Teacher, thank you for helping me understand that surviving in the crypto world is more important than making a profit."
【Eternal Rule】
Divide funds into 8 parts, single transaction ≤ 1,000 yuan, daily ≤ 2 trades, profit 5% withdraw 30%, loss 3% stop loss immediately.
I used to stumble alone in the dark, now the light is in my hands.
The light is always on; will you follow? @币来财888
