from $1,500 to $23,000 — but in the end, I had to block him.
When he started, he followed random Telegram calls, jumped into hype coins, and even used his rent money to chase pumps. Within days, he blew up his account — not once, but three times.
I didn’t teach him fancy indicators or complex setups. Just three simple rules that changed everything:
---
1️⃣ Divide your capital wisely
💰 $300 for short-term trades — one trade a day, aim for 5%, and stop.
💰 $300 to wait patiently for entries at key support zones.
💰 $200 as an untouchable emergency fund.
At first, he said it was too slow. Then he watched others lose everything overnight and realized — slow is sustainable.
---
2️⃣ Trade only when the trend is clear
The market moves sideways 80% of the time. When it does, close the charts and go to the gym.
Once, ADA was stuck for a week. He asked if he should buy early. I said, “Wait for the volume.”
Next day — +18% breakout. That’s when he understood what patience really means.
---
3️⃣ Let your system manage your emotions
Always use a 3% stop loss.
When you’re up 8% or more, move your stop to lock profits.
One night, he canceled his stop loss. I reminded him of his old liquidation screenshot. Hours later, LTC dumped 12% — lesson learned.
---
He grew fast — maybe too fast. Ego took over.
So, I had to block him.
Because in trading, the hardest lesson isn’t about money —
It’s about discipline.
