#数字资产市场动态 From 1,500 to 23,000, I finally deleted him.
He started messing around with a shitcoin right away, losing three times in two days. I didn’t impose any complicated theories on him; I just focused on three key things:
First, funds must be divided into three parts and absolutely not mixed. Split 800 into three accounts: 300 for intraday trading, take profit at 5% and close; 300 for swing trading, don’t touch unless at a key support level; the last 200 is emergency money—don’t touch it no matter how urgent. He initially didn’t understand this, thought it was too conservative, until he saw someone in the office get liquidated on a contract, and then he truly understood the meaning of position splitting—that it’s a lifeline.
Second, only trade during main upward trends; close the software quickly during consolidations. Once, ADA was sideways between $2.5 and $3 for seven or eight days. He wanted to buy the dip, I just said, “Wait for volume to pick up.” Sure enough, the next day, it broke out with volume, and we caught an 18% gain. Whenever profit exceeds 15%, I force him to transfer some to his bank card—that feeling of receiving the SMS notification is a thousand times more real than watching numbers jump.
Third, stop-loss must be executed mechanically, with no human intervention. Exit a position at 3% loss—no discussion; at 8% profit, set a trailing stop to protect capital. Once, he was trading Litecoin, almost triggered a stop-loss by half a point. He panicked and wanted to cancel the order, I just showed him a screenshot of a liquidation from three months ago. That night, LTC plunged 12 points; facing only 1 point loss, he finally understood what a talisman is.
In four months, his account grew to 23,000. Then the problem arose—he started lurking in various signal groups daily, going all-in with leverage chasing those MEME coins.
When his principal halved, he sent me a bunch of complaints at dawn: “If I had gone all-in back then, I’d be at 50,000 now.” Seeing his previous message, “Thanks, bro, for teaching me risk control,” I suddenly felt speechless. The market doesn’t kill the poor; it kills those who don’t believe in the rules.
Before deleting him, I sent him this final message: “From 1,500 to 23,000, it’s not about market trends, but about those rules you find annoying. Rules are what keep you alive and walking out; arrogance will only bring you back to the starting point.”
Remember, in this market, what truly helps you go far is never the fantasy of overnight riches, but the trading discipline ingrained in your bones. $BNB $BEAT $SOL

Really, in the end, he still couldn't hold it together.

Damn, listening to this story kept me awake until 3 a.m... I've understood this split position strategy for a long time, but how many can really stick to it? Honestly, it's all about self-discipline, brother. I'm now staying up late just to save those few Gwei by watching the gas tracker, only to lose even more on a cross-chain bridge. Serves me right.

Another one who has been shouting about losses every day for three months after entering the market, the rules are right there but he insists on stepping on them.

To be honest, this guy ultimately fell victim to human nature; he got greedy after making money.

This guy is right, the rule is a talisman... but to be honest, most people can't really stick to it.
