At 11 PM, my WeChat rang, and Xiaoxue's voice was tearful:
Jin Ge, only 8,000 U left out of 150,000 U... My mortgage card is empty, and if this continues, I'll have to set up a street stall.
Looking at her trading records, I couldn't help but frown - up to 43 transactions in a single day, with transaction fees exceeding the remaining principal.
Rushing into meme coins as soon as they appear, getting cut down to almost nothing at the opening; staring at the 1-minute candlestick chart at three in the morning, her eyes swollen like walnuts, full of bloodshot.
This isn't trading; it's treating the market like a playground! I called her: If you want to make a comeback, first throw away the 'fire at every opportunity' machine gun and learn to snipe. Reckless actions will eventually lead to losing everything.
Later, I set three rules for Xiaoxue, and after ninety days, her account returned to six figures. I'm sharing these tips to help as many people as possible.
I. Only Eat the Meat Near Your Mouth, Don't Chase Distant Fragrances
I had her turn off the 1-minute and 5-minute candlestick charts, focusing only on the 1-hour and 4-hour trends. She should never act unless a key level is broken.
Previously, she would be tempted when the community shouted 'meme coin skyrocketing,' but now she can watch the BTC 4-hour chart for three days, waiting for a clear signal before entering the market.
She once said that watching her colleagues lose money on meme coins while she didn't enter the market because she was waiting for a signal, she felt that 'missing out' was more reassuring than 'making a mistake' for the first time.
II. Rolling Positions to Maintain Capital: Hide Half of the Profits, Withdraw Immediately When Losing
Initial position size ≤ 5% (Open 500U with 10,000 U); take half profit at 25% profit and transfer to cold wallet, set moving stop loss on remaining position; cut position at 3% loss.
First trade ETH, and after hesitating, she closed the position according to the rules, avoiding subsequent pullback risks.
III. Discipline is More Important Than Watching the Market, Don't Be a 'Busy Gambler'
Record each order in a journal (reason, stop loss, take profit, emotion); close the software after two consecutive losses. I once advised her to close the computer and buy strawberries to avoid adding to the loss, and she later developed the habit of turning off the computer at 11 PM, gradually stabilizing her mindset.
She went from 'staring at the market until dawn' to 'turning off the computer at 11 PM on time'. With a stable mindset, her operations became smoother.
Ninety days later, Xiaoxue sent a screenshot: 240,000 U! She also attached a photo of herself preparing to take a walk in the park, with the caption: 'Before, I was gambling with candlestick charts, but now I understand that discipline is important.'
There are no miracles of luck turning things around in the crypto world, only transformations from reckless actions to following the rules. If you've also stumbled, you might as well try these methods. Feel free to ask questions to avoid detours. Follow @趋势猎手老金 .
