When this number popped up, he stared at the screen in a daze for a while, and suddenly asked me: "Is this it?"
It wasn't like this two months ago. At that time, he came to me and said, "200,000 is gone, and there's only this left. Do you think I still have a chance?"
Opportunity? To be honest, I wasn't very optimistic at the time.
Because he is the typical emotional trader - opening a position with just a slight market shake, chasing high when it rises, holding on tight when it falls, adding to the position when he can't withstand it, and then blowing up after adding. The account is like a roller coaster, and the mindset is even steeper than the candlestick chart.
I told him that he could work with me, but he must agree to three things:
**1. A single position cannot exceed one-fifth of the total funds.** Exceeded? Then don't touch the plate today.
**2. Do not bet on the direction, do not stubbornly hold onto positions, do not rely on luck.** If you misread it, just admit it; if you don't understand the market, don't act.
**3. Do not try to catch the bottom or the top, just take advantage of the certain market movements in between.** Not stimulating, but stable.
A few days ago, he was itching to trade. He wanted to jump in whenever he saw the fluctuations. What I asked him to watch was not the price fluctuations, but whether the entry conditions were met. Trading is about executing discipline, not venting emotions.
The first month ended, and 2800U turned into 12,000U. During this period, there was not a single pullback exceeding 5%.
In the second month, he started to judge the rhythm himself, and the account exceeded 30,000 U.
On the 62nd day, he looked at the balance and pondered for a long time before saying, "So making money doesn't have to be so hard?"
Many people think that contracts need to be aggressive, fast, and ruthless, and that they must operate continuously to seize opportunities.
But those who can truly survive and make money rely not on radicalism, but on **a sense of rhythm**.
Move less, wait more; when you take action, be accurate and ruthless—that is the core logic for small capital to turn around.
You are not bad at trading; you are just doing too much of it.

This story sounds like a motivational speech, but the numbers don't lie. The key is that most people can't stick to those three disciplines; the urge to trade is the biggest enemy.

Well... to put it simply, it's about restraint. The hardest part of this thing isn't judging the direction, it's holding back for those few seconds without acting.

Oh my, why do I feel like this story is about me... That part about being impulsive hit the nail on the head, every time I want to go all in, I end up all out, haha.

Oh, this is exactly the kind of story I hate the most... It's always about doing less and waiting more, and the sense of rhythm, I've heard enough of it.

Well... that's not wrong, but most people simply can't stick to it; the urge to trade is really strong.

It's absolutely true, you have to control your hands. I used to act impulsively, but now I've learned to hold back, and as a result, my account has come to life.

Wow, going from 2800 to 67,000, this rhythm is really impressive. I previously messed up and lost my principal due to random operations.

Ah, this is a bit absurd, going from 2800 to 67,000. To be honest, it feels a bit ridiculous. However, after reading this story, I feel that the key is still to control oneself and not to be tempted to make moves all day. This mindset can really ruin a person.

Well... that's true, but I still think this guy's success is largely due to luck. From 2800 to 67,000, that's a 23-fold rise; this isn't discipline, it's the market providing for him. Let's talk again during the next Bear Market.
