Don't remind me again today

#美国非农就业数据表现优于预期 In the market, nine and a half out of ten people have wiped out their accounts.



I've seen too many cases: accounts shrinking from five figures to barely enough for a meal, staring at candlestick charts until their eyes are bloodshot but still not daring to hit the order button; I've also seen people lose half a year’s salary, their voices trembling, only asking if there's any way to recover.

Let me be clear first—I don't sell get-rich-quick myths, nor do I have the ability to tenfold anyone's money in three days. But after more than ten years in this field, what I'm best at is pulling accounts back from the edge of the cliff. The methodology is simple: don't gamble, admit losses quickly.

Today, I'll break down two real, solid cases. Every move can withstand a thorough review—no fluff.

**First story: 300 principal, grew to 3,600+ in two weeks**

This guy used to treat trading like gambling. After losing tens of thousands, he was left with just 300 and was ready to delete the trading app for good.

I had him focus solely on mainstream coins on the 1-hour chart, never risking more than 5% per trade, setting a hard stop-loss at 3% of principal, and taking half off the table whenever profits hit 15%. On the first day, he made 110 in three hours—I told him to shut down and walk away. On the second day, he started using his earnings to open combo positions, letting profits generate more profits.

After 14 days, his account had grown 12x. He later told me, "Turns out, grinding it out with small positions is way more reliable than going all-in. Little by little really adds up."

**Second story: From negative 80,000 to positive 12,000 in one month**

This one had been following so-called "signal teachers," lost all his capital, and ended up deep in debt. With nowhere left to turn, he came to me.

The first week, I didn't let him touch the market. Instead, he had to dig up every losing trade from the past and label exactly why he lost; then practice "paper trading"—writing daily trading plans to suppress impulsive emotions.

In the second week, he started testing the waters with just 5% of his capital, compounding profits when he won and cutting losses quickly when he lost. One time, he wanted to go all-in on a dip, but I stopped him. After a month, not only had he broken even, but he was up an extra 12,000.

The core boils down to three simple tricks:

Split positions into three levels—never risk more than 5% on a test trade, limit add-ons to 10%, and let profits stack in the winning trades;
No negotiation on stop-losses—if it hits, you exit immediately;
If your mindset breaks, stop trading. Two consecutive losses? Shut down your app and cool off.

In the crypto market, survival is more important than making big money. If you haven’t learned the lesson of "trading to survive," any amount of hustling is pointless.

Instead of guessing directions and shouldering risks alone, it’s better to follow someone experienced and move in sync. Let someone else scout the path and control the risks—all you need to do is stick to the rules and take steady steps. That beats everything else. $BTC $ETH

Here we go with the same rhetoric again... Which of those who actually survived didn't treat stop-loss as their lifeline? Does anyone really believe this kind of hype every day?

Damn, it's another "I'll help you make money" story, but after reading these two cases, there really is something to it... But can good nonfarm payroll data really turn things around? Wake up, brother, technical analysis is what really matters.

Talking about stop-loss stories again—I'm tired of hearing them, but it's true that many people just can't do it.
