After two years with Little K, he sent a message last night: The account has broken eight digits, but my heart feels empty.

I replied: Do you still remember how you lost your first trade?

He replied instantly: Lost 30,000 and held on until it became 8,000.

Seven years ago, he was 22, with 60,000 in capital all borrowed, his hands shaking so much he hit the wrong keys.

Today he is 30, having gone from 0 to 8, yet he only says: After holding on once, I dare not do it again.

Many people think he relies on skills, but he actually follows three iron rules:

1. Write down your stop-loss before entering the market; if the line breaks, cut it off, never add to the drama.

2. If you lose 2% in a day, turn off your device and take a shower; not even the King of Heaven can wake you.

3. When profits pull back to the cost, first reduce your position by half, then talk about dreams.

He wrote these three rules on the wall; each time he broke one, he added a line in red pen, and now it’s densely packed, like blood.

In May 2021, he tripled his money in a week and sent me a voice message: The market is just like this.

I sent him a picture: Me in December 2017, turning seven digits into five in three days.

That night, he reduced his leverage to three times and didn't say a word since.

When the bear market came, there were cries of despair in the group, but he was as quiet as if he had turned off his device.

Every market close, he sent me screenshots of his mistakes: Today I almost lost my cool, remembering what you said—emotions are the opponent's game.

True faith is not just holding on; it's being able to sleep after cutting losses.

In the last breakthrough trade, he hit his stop-loss three times, and only on the fourth time did he catch the main uptrend.

He said: If I had increased my position out of stubbornness the first time, I would be at zero now.

The market is always there, and there are always opportunities.

Turn off your emotions, stick to the rules, and don’t say 60,000; even 6,000 can make a comeback.

I pass on my master’s words from back then:

The market does not reward smart people; it only rewards the survivors who follow the rules.

I hope that next time he thinks of going all in, he first looks up at those positive words on the wall.
