From working at a takeout shop and losing all savings, to relying on a 'foolish method' for a seven-digit account
Three years ago, a friend worked 14 hours a day at a takeout shop, too exhausted to even afford a decent computer, yet he plunged into the contract market.
At first, he could only follow orders and chase hot topics. Within a year, he lost all his savings and was heavily in debt. People around him advised him to give up, but he wouldn't believe it: 'If others can make money, why can't I?'
Three years later, his account reached seven digits. It wasn't through luck, but through relentless focus on a 'foolish method' with three core points:
1. Focus on 2 golden time slots to catch the most certain market movements
Beginners often place orders blindly during the day, getting trapped by false breakthroughs and suffering total losses. He only concentrated on two time slots:
London Sniping Time (15:00-17:00): European funds enter the market, direction is very clear, almost no feints;
Non-Farm Black Night (the first Friday of every month at 02:30): After data is released, the market explodes, entering with the first large candlestick has a very high win rate.
By focusing on these two time slots, he has already stabilized profits last year—simplifying complex time cycles into precise hunting windows.
2. 'Three Axes' indicator combination, don’t rely on a single signal
In the past, he was beaten badly by relying on a single indicator. Now he locks in trends with three indicators:
Bollinger Bands three strikes: Price touches the lower band three times, but trading volume continues to increase → Rebound signal;
RSI breaks 50: Not looking at overbought or oversold, but at the moment it breaks 50 → Trend reversal signal;
OBV divergence: Price remains unchanged, but OBV moves first → Preemptively ambushing for an advantage.
During the Ethereum surge last year, this combination allowed him to enter two days early—using a 'foolish combination' to filter out real trends is much more stable than relying on a single indicator.
3. Dynamic profit-taking, firmly hold onto profits
Most people only focus on stop-loss, but he has turned profit-taking into a technical skill:
In the early stages of a rise: First take half of the profit, stabilizing the mindset;
When the trend isn’t over: Move the stop profit with the remaining position, firmly holding until the turning point.
He often says: 'What really kicks people out isn’t a downturn, but having no method and clearing themselves out. No matter how cold the market is, if there’s a method, there’s a way out.'
The market never lacks opportunities, but lacks actionable methods + relentless execution.
For those wanting to turn things around, stop being busy for no reason—first find your own 'foolish method', then execute it relentlessly, and the market will always leave you a way out.
