When he found me, there were only $3,200 left in the account.

"Teacher, within six months, I want to reach $100,000."

I didn't answer directly, but instead asked him: "Do you want to take a gamble to turn things around, or do you want to completely change yourself?"

He was silent for a moment and said softly: "I don’t want to lose anymore."

I reviewed his trading records—his losing trades were three times more than his winning trades, but each one had a stop-loss. This indicated that he could still be saved.

"From today, a maximum of one trade per day, position no more than 5%, and take profit no more than 3%." This was my first rule.

He was confused: "This is too slow…"

I countered: "Is blowing up your account fast?"

He fell silent.

In the first week, he made $200; in the second week, the account rose to $6,000. By the third week, he couldn't help but ask: "The market is so good, can I increase my position?"

I didn’t explain, just told him to take a three-day break and go to the park to watch the elderly play chess.

"What should I watch?" he asked.

"Watch how they control their emotions."

Three days later, he came back and told me: "Those who lose always want to turn things around immediately, but they end up losing even more."

I nodded: "Trading is the same."

Three months later, his account surpassed $50,000. He began to understand the rhythm of the market and was no longer swayed by emotions.

Only then did I teach him real trading strategies—not technical analysis, but how to wait for the best opportunity.

"90% of traders lose due to lack of patience," I said.

Five months later, his account reached $80,000. The last time we met, he asked me: "Teacher, why didn’t you teach me advanced strategies directly at the beginning?"

I smiled: "Because most people can't even adhere to the most basic discipline."

Six months later, he sent me a screenshot: $102,500.

I didn’t congratulate him, just asked: "Now, do you still think a 3% take profit is slow?"

He replied: "No, I now understand that true speed is slow."

The cruel truth of the trading market is—90% of people do not lose to the market, but to themselves.

If you also want to grow from $3,000 to $100,000, first ask yourself:

Are you willing to spend six months overcoming that greedy and impatient part of yourself?

Before, I was stumbling alone in the darkness; now the light is in my hands.

The light is always on; will you follow? @币来财888
