The account went from losing 5,000U to 70,000U, and it's not luck but a systemic transformation.



When my friend came to me, his account was already at a critical point—frequently chasing gains, stop-losses ineffective, and heavy single-position holdings. The worst case was losing over 10,000U in a single day. Reviewing his trading records, the problem was clear: opportunities are abundant, but execution is too chaotic.

We established three ironclad rules.

**First: Choose high-probability opportunities.** Never touch unfamiliar coins; only open positions when the trend is clear and there are obvious pullback points. Keep most of the time in cash, waiting for genuine signals rather than getting itchy just by watching the market.

**Second: Strictly control risk per trade.** Limit each trade to within 500U, so losses are manageable even if they occur. Only consider adding positions if consistently profitable. Every trade must have a stop-loss—no longer just a mental reminder, but a mandatory part of the trading plan. From previously losing an average of 2000U daily, now stable at a few hundred U per day.

**Third: Treat review as a mandatory course.** Record the entry logic, exit reasons, and analyze both profits and losses thoroughly. The benefit of this is that the trap of "trading on gut feeling" will never be fallen into again.

Two months of execution results: the account grew from 5,000U to 50,000U.

Initially, he doubted that this method was too conservative, but as the account hit new highs every day, those old habits of quick in and out naturally disappeared. If your account now only has a few thousand U and you feel powerless and confused, remember one thing—traders who truly break out are never gamblers relying on all-in bets to turn around, but those willing to change old habits. Overleveraging is often not the market's fault but the price of impatience. Opportunities are always there; whether you can eat the meat depends on whether you can stay steady and wait.

Honestly, I've heard this logic many times before, but very few people actually follow through. The key point is that waiting is really more difficult than going all-in.

Honestly, stopping the chase for rising prices really hits me.
