Ten years have passed, and this market has swallowed one batch after another
From mining machines sold by the kilogram to ICOs, DeFi, NFTs, MEME... I have seen too many skyscrapers rise, and even more buildings collapse
So when he wailed in the group, saying that the dogecoin had returned to zero three times in two days, and that he had put his rent in, I seemed to see myself from ten years ago
I decided to give him a hand, but only teach the rules
Money is divided into three parts: three hundred for day trading, one order a day, and if you make 5%, you shut down;
Three hundred wait for opportunities, never enter the market unless at the support level;
The last two hundred is the "coffin fund", which cannot be touched even if the sky falls
He found it slow, until he saw his colleague's contract explode and slump in the chair, he silently divided it into three parts.
2. Teach him to "eat by watching the sky"
Seventy percent of the market is garbage time, when it's sideways, just go running or sleep. There was a time when ADA was sideways for a week, and he asked in the middle of the night: "Should we set an ambush?" I just replied: "Wait for volume"
The next day, a big bullish candlestick broke through, and we made 18%. He said he lost five pounds that week, but earned more than in the past six months
Every time he made 15%, I forced him to withdraw one-third to his bank card — the numbers on the screen are virtual, the SMS notification of the arrival is real.
3. Implement "punishment tools"
Each order has a stop loss of 3%, and if it touches the line, it automatically cuts; if profit exceeds 8%, immediately move the stop loss to protect the capital. Once, when trading LTC, he wanted to withdraw the order just 0.5% from the stop loss, and I directly showed him a screenshot of his liquidation from three months ago
That night, LTC plummeted by 12%, and his account only lost 1%. Later he said: "That cut didn’t happen, now there’s nothing left of the bones."
In four months, he rolled from 1500U to 23,000U. Then he got carried away. He mixed into a signal group, laughed at others for being timid, and leveraged everything to chase MEME coins
That night, when he retraced half, he posted a little essay blaming me: "If I had gone all in back then, I would have made fifty thousand already" I flipped back to four months ago when he cautiously asked about stop loss records, and suddenly felt weary
I deleted him, leaving one last message:
"All the people who returned to zero in ten years did not do so because the market was bad, but because they forgot who they were. The rules are for those who want to survive. You want to fly, I won't stop you — but don't blame me for not teaching you how to walk when you fall down."
Discipline is not about making the most money, it is about living the longest. Most people ultimately lose not to the market, but to the wild beast inside them that they can't control.
Before, I stumbled alone in the dark, but now the light is in my hands.
The light is always on, will you follow? @今酒
