1. First, reveal the scars.
Entered the market in 2012, just wanted to make quick money, and ended up losing 400,000 in the first year. Pretended everything was fine at work during the day, but stared at the market until I lost hair at night. Later I understood: the market punishes all forms of defiance; losing money is tuition, and not being able to bear it is graduation.
2. What I rely on to turn things around
Methods are not flashy: rolling positions + rhythm tactics.
With a principal of 30,000 U, I rolled it to 7 million U; the core of it all is just three things.
1. When the market moves, act immediately.
All significant profits occur during the window of 'when others hesitate, I have already entered the market'.
Method:
• Draw the structure before the market opens; enter when triggered, do not wait for 'more certainty'.
• Directly allocate 30% of funds for the initial position, stop loss at 3%, profit-loss ratio ≥ 1:5.
• Use profits to increase positions during upward movements; never add principal.
2. Don't trade every day, learn to stay out of the market.
In a year, there are only two or three real opportunities worth taking; the rest of the time is spent waiting.
Rules:
• At most two trades a week; if conditions are not met, shut down.
• Treat 'missing out' as normal; missing out is cheaper than making mistakes.
• When feeling restless, go to the gym, stay away from the market, and preserve your bullets.
3. Profits roll into profits; the principal never moves.
Rolling position principle:
• Only start adding to positions when profits exceed 20%, and only add half of the profits each time.
• Lock up the principal in a cold wallet; no matter how much you earn, don't add to the market.
• Withdraw 30% of profits every time you double your investment, ensuring that even if you blow up, you can still make ends meet.
3. The real battle is with oneself.
• Betting on full positions, intraday rushes, emotional trades—I have done them all, and the result is always a blow-up.
• Later, I set 'survival' as the top strategy, and ironically, I started making money.
• The market is not short of opportunities; what is lacking is living to see the day the opportunity comes.
4. A message for those still trying to recover their losses.
Don't rush to recover losses; first learn to control drawdowns. Don't blindly trust insider information; first believe in discipline.
Throw away the obsession with 'making money every day', and keep the bottom line of 'minimizing losses on each trade'.
Reversal does not rely on rushing; it relies on enduring time + adhering to methods.
If you understand this point, you have already outperformed 90% of people.
