#大户持仓变化 The way he looked when he found me, I still remember to this day.



He had only 1500U left in his account but dreamed of turning things around overnight. He followed various signal groups to chase low-quality coins, getting margin called three times in two days, even losing his rent money. At that time, he knew nothing—no position sizing, risk control, candlestick patterns—nothing at all.

I didn't teach him those complicated theories; I just gave him three rules.

Four months later, his account grew from 1500U to 23,000U.

But in the end, I still deleted him.

**Rule One: Three separate funds, live separately**

I told him to split his 800U principal like this: 300U for intraday trading, opening only one trade per day, closing immediately after a 5% profit; 300U waiting for opportunities, never touching support levels; the remaining 200U frozen as "lifeline money," not moving no matter how tempting.

At that time, he squinted and said, "With this little capital, when will I ever make it?"

It wasn't until he saw his colleague blow up their account in a reckless all-in that he finally split his funds properly.

**Rule Two: Only ride the main upward waves, don't mess around in sideways markets**

Most of the market time is bad行情. My advice was straightforward—when the market is sideways, go to the gym or do something else. Once $ADA sideways for a week, he messaged me late at night asking if he should ambush. I just replied, "Wait for volume."

The next day, a big bullish candle broke out, and he gained 18%. From then on, he finally understood—doing nothing is sometimes a hundred times better than blindly messing around.

Every time he made more than 15% profit, I forced him to take out one-third. That deposit notification was more reassuring than the numbers on the screen.

**Rule Three: Let the system watch your hands**

Set a 3% stop-loss on every trade; when triggered, it closes automatically. Once profits exceed 8%, move the stop-loss up to protect gains. Mechanical execution, no room for hesitation.

But when his account broke 20,000U, he changed.

He started jumping into various signal groups, mocking others as "cowards who can't make big money." Leveraged to the max, chasing $BEAT meme coins, and what happened? His principal was halved in drawdowns.

At 2 a.m., he sent a long message:

"Bro, if I had gone all-in back then, I’d be at 50,000 by now."

I looked up what he had said before—"Thanks, bro, for teaching me risk control."

Suddenly, I understood what irony really means.

Before deleting him, I said one last thing:

"From 1500 to 23,000, it’s not the market giving you that, it’s the rules saving you. Rules keep you alive; arrogance will only bring you back to zero."

That’s how the crypto world works. Discipline is the real life-saving charm.

This story is a true reflection of the crypto world. When they make money, they get carried away, forget the rules, and in the end, blame the market for not being supportive.

This story really hits home... Watching him go from gratitude to arrogance, the data significantly proves the weakness of human nature(´;ω;`)

Really, this story is just like talking about myself. I get arrogant after making money, think I've gained insight, but then I lose everything and go back to square one.
