A couple of years ago, I met a guy whose account evaporated by 500,000.

During that time, he was completely wrecked—he didn’t dare look at K-lines, and even uninstalled his trading apps.

Once, while drinking, he suddenly blurted out: “I don’t think I’ll ever get back on my feet in this life.”

When I heard that, I knew he’d really been crushed by the market.

But a turning point came a few months later. He came to me and said he wanted to start over. I didn’t give him any advanced theories.

I just had him honestly stick to five of the most basic operations.

And the result? In less than five months, not only did he get his 500,000 back, his account even hit a new all-time high.

He later told me, “I never thought playing it safe could actually win.”

A lot of people think making money in this market is about information gaps, talent, or luck.

But to be honest, the real things that keep you alive and profitable boil down to just two words: discipline + rhythm.

If you’re currently struggling in the quagmire of losses, these five tips might help:

**① Don’t guess the direction, follow the trend.**
Price speaks for itself. Wait for confirmation signals before acting—don’t blindly gamble on direction.

**② Always set a stop-loss.**
Being wrong isn’t shameful, holding a losing position is deadly. Before opening any position, know your exit plan.

**③ Never allocate more than 30% of your capital per trade.**
Light positions help you sleep at night. Survival is more important than anything.

**④ Trade with the trend, don’t fight it.**
The market is your friend, not your enemy. Don’t go against it.

**⑤ Keep a trading journal.**
Record every trade. Reviewing is a hundred times more useful than blind action.

Volatility is normal, and so is feeling crushed. But as long as your methods are right, making a comeback is never a myth.
