In the winter of 2015, I will always remember that snowy night. My sister-in-law pulled me to a corner of the community and stuffed a thick envelope into my hand. "This is 10,000 USD; your brother doesn’t know." Her voice trembled slightly in the cold wind, "I know you've been studying trading; take it and give it a try."

I was stunned. My cousin had just had a big fight with them over stock losses, yet my sister-in-law handed this "private money" to me, a fresh graduate.

"But brother said..."
"Don't be like your brother!" She interrupted me, "He's resigned to his losses, but you're different. I've seen your notes; those chart analyses are more professional than the securities companies." She held my hand tightly, "Promise me, either double your money or leave the market forever."

That night I couldn't sleep holding that stack of hot dollars. 10,000 USD is equivalent to my sister-in-law's two years of private tutoring income, and even more, it's a year's savings for this ordinary family.

First battle blew up: 40% loss in 5 days
In January 2018, I heavily bought BTC at its peak of 40,000 USD. Three days later, it plummeted to 32,000, and my account was left with only 6,000 USD. I hid in my rental room and didn't dare to answer my sister-in-law's call until I received her text: "How much is left?"
"6000"
"Continue"

Moment of Enlightenment:
On the 7th day of living on instant noodles, I suddenly saw the essence of trading—not gambling, but a game of probability. I began to strictly enforce:

  • Each trade's stop loss should not exceed 2% of the principal

  • Trade a maximum of 3 times a day

  • Profit 50% and withdraw the principal immediately

Rebirth:
In April 2019, I seized the bottom rebound of LTC with the last 3,000 USD, doubling it in three weeks. In the summer frenzy of DeFi in 2020, my 10,000 USD account finally broke through 100,000. By August this year, that number became 1.18 million.

Last week, I sent 100,000 USD back to my sister-in-law's account, and she immediately returned it: "Continue to compound your profits, and when your brother can calmly accept losses, take him along to do it together."

Now, I have become Garry, who is called "teacher" by everyone in the community, but every night when I open the trading software, I always think of that trembling hand that handed me the envelope on that snowy night.

Three blood and tears suggestions for newcomers:
1️⃣ It's best to start with an amount you can afford to lose
2️⃣ Never borrow money to trade (thanks to my sister-in-law's trust, but this is an exception)
3️⃣ Withdraw 20% of profits each month to improve your life (trading is not asceticism)
