"At four in the morning, the phone vibrated loudly on the bedside table."

When I opened it—balance screenshot of 4000U, captioned with six words: 'Bro, I blew up, can you help me?'"

I stared at the screen and smoked half a cigarette, replying with four words: "Turn off and sleep."

From 120,000 to 4,000, it's not that the market is harsh, but the hands are too itchy.

I've seen this brother: last year he had 120,000 U as capital, stared at the 1-minute K-line every day, his speed was faster than a delivery guy. Result? Three heavy positions, three circuit breakers, and in the end, even 4000U was gone—those who blew up lost because 'hands were faster than the brain.'

Want to turn things around? First learn to tie up your fingers. I threw him a copy of '戒 3', three months later, 4000U turned into 50,000. Today, I carve these three戒 for you.

戒 1: Don't chase the market, let the market knock on your door.

"The 4-hour K-line determines life and death, the 1-minute chart is poison."

  • Lock the cycle above 4 hours, don't look down at the 1-minute 'fireworks'—that's an illusion for gamblers presented by the big players.

  • Pull the trigger a maximum of three times a day, and for the rest of the time, take out the mouse batteries (I had him put a sticky note on the computer saying 'More than three orders is a dog').
    Last year's BTC crash., he looked at the 1-minute chart to try to catch the bottom; I had him switch to the 4-hour chart—resulting in discovering the trend was unclear and avoiding a major loss.

戒 2: The position is like toothpaste, squeeze just a little.

"First order capped at 10%, take half of the profit at 20%, cut at a 5% loss."

  • The first order should never exceed 10% of the principal, when profit reaches 20%, first take half of the profit (use a trailing stop to lock in gains).

  • Stop loss at 5% immediately cut, don't be reluctant—that's insurance for the account (when he first cut, his hands shook, later he told me: after cutting, he slept soundly instead).
    During that wave of playing ETH., he followed this rule, rolling a 2000U principal into 8000U profit—no heavy position, no holding, just relying on 'squeezing toothpaste.'

戒 3: Write your trades as a diary, not a suicide note.

"Leave three lines for each order, two stop losses and then turn off the phone to take a cold shower."

  • Every order must have three lines written: Why enter? Why exit? How to be colder in the next order?

  • After two consecutive stop losses, I immediately turned off the phone and took a cold shower (when he returned after his first shower, he found the market had reversed).
    Three months later., he sent a message: "Turns out not gambling leads to winning." I replied: "As long as the principal is there, the script will have the next episode; with discipline, the ending can be written by oneself."

Final words: Tie up your hands to grasp the future.

If you are also staring at the red and green at midnight, remember—first tie your fingers, then talk about your dreams. The market never lacks opportunities, what is lacking is someone who can control their hands.

This brother now only opens two orders a day, but his win rate has risen from 30% to 80%. He said: "I used to think discipline was a shackle, now I realize it’s a talisman."
