From 100,000 U to 5,000 U: Are you trading, or are you 'systematically sending people to their deaths'?
I have seen too many stories like this: At three in the morning, the screen glows coldly, ashtrays piled high, someone stares at the remaining 5,000 U in their account and asks themselves, 'Why does my money lose faster the harder I work?'
This is not a market problem, but a backlash of behavior.
Looking through the records of these accounts, there are often three fatal actions:
High-frequency chaotic scanning: addicted to 1-minute candlesticks, executing dozens of trades a day, fees drop faster than the principal;
Believing in holding losses: fantasizing during losses that 'the bull will return quickly', but what returns to zero is not the bull market, but the account;
FOMO all-in: seeing others flaunt hundredfold returns, impulsively going all in, only to wake up with just scraps left.
The essence of these behaviors is turning trading into gambling with one's life, rather than managing probabilities.
The key to recovery: switch from 'gambler' to 'sharpshooter'.
When that fan came to me with 5,000 U, I only asked him to stick to three things:
1. Only trade high-certainty markets.
Throw away the 1-minute candlesticks, focus on breakout signals of 4 hours or higher. Trade no more than 3 times a day; if you feel restless, go exercise, stay away from the screen.
2. The rolling strategy of winning when up and cutting losses when down.
Initial position not exceeding 10% (500 U), only increase after making a profit;
Take half profit immediately when up 20%, move stop-loss for the remaining; cut position directly at a 5% loss, don’t add to positions or fantasize.
3. Discipline is the final moat.
After two consecutive losses, forcibly shut down;
Review daily trading records, clarify the reasons for each loss and the logic behind each profit.
The real breakthrough is acknowledging that you are 'gambling'.
He said, 'No one taught me these things before.'
I replied, 'It’s not that no one taught you, it’s that you are unwilling to admit— the root of liquidation is always thinking, 'If I just hold a bit longer, I can recover my losses.'
The market will never punish rational people; it will only harvest the uncontrolled demons of the mind. Open your trading records and see:
Is the money you lost taken away by the market, or devoured by your own impulses?
