A friend once told me that his hardest time wasn't losing money, but staring at the market every morning at dawn without daring to do anything.
It wasn't that there were no opportunities, but he was afraid that if he moved again, he would send his account into the zeroing zone.
At that time, he had just come down from a high point, losing for three consecutive weeks, with his position shrinking from five figures to three figures. He didn't want to eat during the day, couldn't sleep at night, and his mind was filled with thoughts of 'Am I not suited for this market?'.
But he didn't exit the market directly; instead, he forced himself to do one thing: to stop first and review each mistake.
Gradually, he sorted out three survival principles—
First, do not chase highs and sell lows, and do not engage in ambiguous market conditions.
When the market rhythm is chaotic, he chooses to stay out of the market; when opportunities are clear, he only engages in segments he understands.
Second, always keep positions within a bearable range.
No matter how certain the market is, no single position should exceed 20% of the total portfolio. Even if he gets washed out, he can come back.
Third, only roll over profits, do not look back to cover losses.
He does not cover losing positions but secures profitable ones; if he wins, he adds more, and if he loses, he withdraws, maintaining a sense of rhythm.
In this way, he went from earning dozens a day to gradually making hundreds, and sometimes, when the market trend was favorable, he could achieve four-digit profits.
It wasn't about exorbitant profits or sudden wealth but gradually pulling back his state and confidence.
He said that those who can go far are not the lucky ones but those who can climb out from mistakes.
He wasn't a naturally gifted player; he had chased trends and gambled on high leverage before, but later he understood that only by establishing a stable execution logic could he find true security.
Looking back now, what he is most grateful for is not a specific big win but that part of himself that never completely gave up.
The market doesn't wait for anyone, but the rhythm can be found back slowly.
In this market, what you lack is not effort or opportunities; it's someone who can help you achieve stable profits in this market.
