He only has 5000U left and wants to make 100,000U in six months. I said it's possible.
Bro, I only have 5000U left and can I really make 100,000U in six months?
Honestly, I receive questions like this almost every day.
But that day, I didn't brush it off. I asked him: Do you really want to turn your situation around, or do you just want to take a gamble?
He replied: I don't want to gamble anymore, I want to survive.
I gave him one piece of advice:
Sure. But starting today, you have to think of yourself as a poor person. You must not make a single emotional trade, nor gamble your life for luck.
The first step was for him to send me a screenshot of his account. I looked at it; his Binance futures account had just over 4800U left, and the previous losses were numerous, with so many liquidation records that they couldn't all be counted. I said: "It's good that at least you have developed a good habit of not bottom fishing all in."
We started with the most basic small wave arbitrage strategy, only trading once a day, not seeking a lot, just stability, keeping the position under 20%, and controlling daily stable returns at 3-5%, without greed, panic, or gambling.
In the first week, he made 700U, and by the second week, the account broke 10,000U. In the third week, he asked me: Bro, should we double down and go bigger?
I said: Your mindset is getting ahead of itself again. If you take a wrong step here, it would be lucky if your account only goes back to 5000U.
I made him stop trading for three days and forced him to write a trading review, with at least 500 words daily—not about the market, but about emotions, execution ability, and temptation control.
Many people think that flipping an account relies on opportunity, but in fact, the real opportunity is the restraint you exercise at the moment you close a position according to your plan.
Three months later, his account reached 42,000U.
At this point, I changed strategies. We no longer frequently engage in swings but switched to a two-phase medium-term layout and emotional turning point strategy. I generally wouldn't teach this to most people.
Because, to be honest, most people simply can't execute it.
When the six months were up, his account balance was 102,300U. I asked him to send a reconciliation image, and I left him with one statement:
Turning your situation around is not difficult; what is difficult is to never make the same mistakes you made in the past.
I don't have any universal secrets, but I know that most people's 5000U can be turned around, rather than dying in the rush to gamble and disbelief in those three words.
If he can do it, you can too.
But I won't help just anyone.
Because this path relies not on luck but on understanding + discipline + strategy.
As for the rest, don't ask in the square.
Do you really want to turn your 5000U around?
