#美联储重启降息步伐 once helped a friend trade, and over four months, the account grew from 1,500U to 23,000U, with a return rate of over 1,400%. But in the end, I chose to cut contact—because he started breaking every rule he had set for himself.

The story begins with him going to zero three times in a row playing shitcoins. During that period, he lost his rent money in just two days and fell into a gambler’s mindset. I set three hard rules for him; he reluctantly agreed to try them.

**Rule 1: Split principal into three parts**
With 800U as starting capital, it was divided like this: 300U for intraday swings, taking profit at 5%; another 300U only entered when a clear support signal appeared; the last 200U was kept untouched as a psychological safety cushion. At first, he thought it was too conservative, but after seeing his colleagues’ liquidations in the chat, he finally followed through.

**Rule 2: Only trade the main uptrend**
During sideways or choppy markets, I told him to shut off the computer and go to the gym instead, so he wouldn’t act on impulse. I remember once ADA consolidated for seven days straight—he entered on the breakout as planned, and exited three days later with an 18% gain. Every time he made over 15% profit, I’d urge him to transfer the profit to his bank account—digital games only count when turned into real cash.

**Rule 3: Ruthless stop-loss discipline**
Every trade had a 3% stop-loss; after an 8% profit, the stop was moved to breakeven. Once he wanted to cancel a stop-loss order on LTC, so I sent him a bunch of liquidation screenshots. That night, LTC plunged 12%. He cut the loss with tears in his eyes, saving his principal. That’s when he truly understood “discipline outweighs prediction.”

The turning point came after his account broke 20,000U. He started to think he was “enlightened”, went all-in on some MEME coin, and lost over half his principal in just a few days. Late at night, he sent me a long confession. I replied with just one final message before blocking him: “You make money by following rules, and you lose it due to arrogance. The market will keep teaching you until you learn.”

In this space, managing human nature is more important than technical analysis.
