From turning 100,000 dollars into only 5,000, that's not a joke



Last year, a friend who follows me DM'd me, and the first thing I still remember clearly:

"Bro, my account is down to 5,000 dollars... it's really almost gone."

I pulled up his trading records and was silent for a while.

How many trades in one day? Dozens.
How does he operate when making profit? Reluctant to exit.
How does he handle losses? Hold on until the bitter end.
What percentage is fees? Almost equal to the loss amount...

Guys, does this sound familiar?
Or is this simply your current state?

Take a look at these "free points operations," have you been caught off guard?

**First: Crazy order spamming**

Watching 1-minute candles like a movie, eyes turning red.
End of the day, trading records are endless, yet he still calls himself a "short-term master."

Wake up.
You're not a trading expert, you're just the platform's most loyal "fee contributor."

**Second: Holding on to the end**

Chanting:
"The bull market will definitely come back!"
"When I break even, I’ll stop!"

And what happened?
Not the bull market returning, but your margin call notification.

**Third: Impulsive all-in**

Seeing others post 100x gains on coins,
hot-headed, go all in,
Wake up the next day to see your account balance starting with a single digit.

Staying up late reviewing, insomnia and anxiety, cigarettes in hand, finally getting margin called...

Lying in front of the computer, asking yourself:
"Have I become a lamb waiting to be slaughtered?"

I gave him three pieces of advice, and he really started to recover.

**First: Precise targeting, don’t just shoot randomly**

Close all 1-minute and 5-minute charts.
Only focus on key breakout points on 4-hour and daily charts.

Daily trading limit?
No more than 3 trades.

What if you get itchy hands?
Do push-ups! Go for a run!
Just don’t touch the keyboard!

**Second: Money management is life**

(The rest of the original text continues omitted)

The market won’t give you money just because you’re anxious.
Take it slow, stay alive longer, then you’ll have a chance to turn things around.

Don’t let your account become someone else’s ATM.

I just got caught in the crossfire, I've really been looking at the 1-minute chart for three years... --- Damn, isn't this just a replica of last year? I'm still holding on stubbornly. --- Fee contributors are hilarious. I feel like they're talking about myself. --- Three trades a day is a brilliant move. When I get itchy, I just remember I still have a keyboard. --- From 100,000 to 5,000? I went straight from 50,000 to single digits, now hiding in the corner reflecting on life. --- Regarding capital management, honestly, it sounds simple but it's extremely difficult to execute. Who doesn't want to live longer? --- After watching this, I've decided to delete the 1-minute chart too. --- Short-term master? Sure, I'm just a big fee payer, I admit it.

I got caught off guard directly, the trading fees eat up more profit than the gains. Now I regret it to death. Doing dozens of trades a day really is just giving money to the exchange. I should have stopped earlier. This guy went from 100,000 to 5,000, truly shocking. Looking at my own trading records, I instantly feel social anxiety. I've dug myself too deep into this trap, still fantasizing about when I can break even. I quit going all-in on low-quality coins long ago. It’s a bloody lesson I don’t want to experience again. The main issue is my itch to trade. Knowing the risks clearly, I still can’t help opening positions. This problem must be fixed. The advice to never exceed three trades a day is brilliant. Let’s see how many days I can stick to it.
