I remember the night the account was wiped out. The ashtray was overflowing with cigarette butts, my hands trembling so much I couldn’t even open the trading interface — not a dramatization, but real despair. A 500,000 loss, debt piling up, many chose to escape, but I didn’t.
That early year, I decided to try again with the remaining 5,000U. I saw three people using the same principal to grow their funds to 50,000U, and I practiced it myself. Today, I want to share the three most counterintuitive rules on this comeback journey — not suitable for investors seeking "steady happiness," only for those with execution ability.
**Seize the moment of pin insertion, enter and exit quickly**
Long-term holding and value investing are essentially games for those with idle funds. For us who need a turnaround, the only chance is those sudden "mistake moments" in the market.
Bitcoin suddenly plunges or surges 10%? Don’t follow the trend blindly. Wait until the price returns to the EMA20 line, then open a small position with 5x leverage, lock in 5% profit, and exit decisively. Do at most two trades a day; more than that is courting death.
This approach tests discipline the most. I’ve tried executing it for three consecutive days, growing from 5,000U to 10,000U. The trick is simple: don’t move until the target point is reached, and immediately run when the profit target is hit. Most people fail because of greed — earning 5% and wanting 10%, only for the market to reverse, turning profits into losses instantly.
The essence of pin insertion trading isn’t about guessing the right direction, but about exploiting market imbalance in that fleeting moment. You’ll see trading volume suddenly spike, but the price doesn’t continue to break down — this is often a short-term sign of stabilization, a window for light positions to enter.

Nice words, but it's still that "I can control the risk" rhetoric. So, what’s the result? Everyone following the trend around me ended up losing everything. This logical flaw alone can ruin people.
Make 5% profit and then exit—sounds easy, but in practice, it's a hell of human nature. I've seen too many people get trapped here.
Turning 5,000 USD into 500,000 USD is like winning the lottery. Don't be brainwashed by survivor bias, brother.

This guy's logic about inserting pins is okay... but to be honest, running away at 5% profit sounds like a market maker's liquidity depth game, with extremely low capital efficiency.
However, I have to say that when it comes to debt turnaround, managing your mindset is more deadly than strategy. I've seen too many people whose discipline collapses after just three days due to a single drawdown, going all in. Leverage... it's like mixing a martini, even a drop of vermouth can change the entire flavor.

Really, five thousand turns into five hundred thousand? I feel like I've heard this story many times before.
Greed is indeed a deadly disease, but discipline is a hundred thousand times easier to say than to do.
I remember my friend did the same thing last time, and he still got caught. Maybe we're just lacking that execution ability.

To be honest, I believe that a 5% profit is achievable, but can it really go from 5k to 10k in three consecutive days? Where are the details? Nothing has been explained...

Hey, it's that 5x leverage thing again. Can't get enough of it.

Honestly, running after a 5% profit requires such strong mental resilience... I really want to know how those three people are doing now.

Winning back 5000U sounds great, but how many people can really get through the psychological barrier?
This story is quite intense, but what I care about is—after the account is wiped clean, do they really have the courage to try again?
It sounds like just another leverage hero's dream—run after a 5% profit? That’s easy to say, but when actually executing, your fingers must be trembling.
A loss of 500,000 isn't a small number; can discipline alone hold up?
I think most people would delete the app after losing three days in a row—there's no persistence in that.

It's the same old story... People who run after a 5% profit, are they cautious or just cowardly? I think it's mostly the fear of getting trapped that drives them.

Sounds like another story of "I turned 5,000 into 500,000," but the key is that there always has to be a supporting course afterward, right? Haha
