57 days, Hangzhou girl from 3658U to 8.8WU: The transformation I witnessed
She is the quietest one in our group, ID only “Y”.
57 days ago, she sent me a screenshot of her 3658U account, asking me: “Teacher, is this enough money?” I said: “Enough, as long as you treat it like your life.”
Today, she sent me a screenshot: 8.8WU.
She only said one sentence: “I have turned the rules into muscle memory.”
These four iron rules, I wrote down word by word for her, and for you—
1. Position size = oxygen
Always use only 15%–25% of the principal to open the first position. No matter how attractive the market looks, all in is not allowed. Y only used 500U for her first trial, with the liquidation line far away, making her mindset naturally stable.
2. Profit disarming, laddered position increase
Immediately cut 30% of profits as soon as profitable, roll it into the next trade. On the day her account hit 5200U, she transferred 1500U profit into a “snowball account” before diving into the next wave. Compound interest is not a mystery; it’s about locking in unrealized gains into a new safety cushion.
3. Stop loss = cutting fingers to survive
Write down the stop loss price before entering the market and set it to trigger automatically. Y set her stop loss line at -8%. During a sudden drop of 7.9% at 2 AM, she slept soundly because the system would take care of her. When she woke up the next day, her account was only down 80U instead of being liquidated.
4. Only trade the middle, don’t gamble on both sides
During spikes that lure in buyers and waterfall panic, she just watches the show. She only pressed the FOMO calm button when the 4h moving averages aligned bullishly and the trading volume moderately increased. During sideways periods, she would turn off her phone and go running at West Lake; not participating during 70% of the market’s garbage time is the best defense.
On the 42nd day, she faced her biggest drawdown: a false breakout that wiped 12% off her account. At 2 AM, she sent me a voice message, her voice trembling. I replied: “A drawdown is a health report, not a death certificate.” She followed the iron rules to cut the losing position, and the next day opened a mid-range long, using 3R to erase the drawdown and even made an 8% profit.
On the 56th day’s close, 8.8WU. She said: “It turns out trading is not about defeating the market, but about defeating the part of myself that wants to go all in.”
I printed out the curve of these 57 days: a slowly rising line, occasionally retracing but continually reaching new highs. Next to it, I only wrote one sentence—
Discipline, strategy, execution, when synchronized, is the other name for miracles.
