In June, early in the morning, I just marked the key levels for BTC

A message popped up in the background: "Bro, there’s only 3800U left in the account.

I lost most of my money trading recklessly before, and now there’s barely anything left. I’ll trust you one last time, can you get me back on track?"

I didn’t ask much, just replied: "From today, keep a trading journal." He replied instantly: "Okay."

The story begins from this page of notes.

Day 1: Bomb Disposal Operation

I told him to split the 3800U into 3 parts, with each part being 1200U, and keep 200U as "emergency funds." He muttered: "What can I earn by splitting it like this?"

I showed him a screenshot of when he lost down to 8000U: "When you lost to 3800U before, it was because you didn't want to break down your position." He was silent for half an hour and sent me the split records: "Position 1-3, emergency funds 200U."

Day 3: First Experience with Stop Loss

A sudden positive news in the L2 sector, I told him to enter with Position 1 (1200U). Just as he entered, a -3% stop loss was triggered, losing 36U.

He wrote in his notes: "Money is gone and it hurts, but I didn’t panic and lose sleep like before." I commented: "Not panicking is the beginning of winning."

Day 9: The First Taste of Profit

BTC retraced to the 30-day line, and the net inflow on exchanges suddenly increased by 25%, with multiple signals aligning. I sent a message: "Position 2, enter."

He entered with 1200U, and 12 hours later the account rose to 3600U. When total assets broke 5000U, he sent a screenshot: "Bro, I set my profits as the screensaver, feeling secure."

Day 21: Locking in Profits

Net worth broke 12,000U, I told him to withdraw 3000U to a cold wallet: "This is what you should take, lock it in first." He hesitated: "If I enter now, I can make a bit more."

I replied: "You made 5000 before but didn’t withdraw, and then lost it all, remember?" He obediently did as told, adding to his notes: "Money in the cold wallet feels like it’s really mine."

Day 35: Controlling Hands is Harder than Making Money

Three consecutive mistakes, a drawdown of 8.6%. He wrote in his notes: "Staring at the screen thinking of using 5x leverage to recover, my finger hovered for half an hour, but I still backed off."

I replied: "Not taking action is more important than making one trade."

Day 47: System Formed

He sent me a screenshot of the account: 40,000U, with the 3000U in the cold wallet also attached: "Bro, it turns out keeping profits is also a gain."

The core of guiding him was never about finding "magic trades," but helping him establish the rules of "splitting positions, stop losses, and locking in profits."
