When a brother from Zhejiang came to see me, his account was almost drained.

With a principal of 300,000 U, only 6,000 U was left in the end.

I didn’t comfort him first, but directly looked at his trading records.

The problem was actually very clear.

He was almost staring at the 1-minute K-line all day, making dozens of trades a day, with fees and slippage constantly eating away at his profits;

Once there was a floating profit, he began to fantasize that "this trade would double";

However, once he faced a loss, he chose to stubbornly hold on, preferring to believe in a rebound rather than admitting he made a wrong judgment.

This was no longer trading; it felt more like using the account to fight against emotions.

The pitfalls he fell into were actually not special:

First, treating high frequency as capability and busyness as effort, resulting only in contributing fees to the exchange;

Second, being overly tolerant of losing trades while extremely harsh on winning trades, leading to a complete imbalance in profit and loss structure;

Third, impulsively betting big on so-called "土狗 opportunities," treating luck as strategy.

The changes I suggested for him were very simple, but each one was unappealing:

No longer looking at low cycles, only using levels above 4 hours as decision-making basis;

Strictly limiting the number of trades and individual risks, and walking away if wrong;

Placing "execution discipline" before "catching the market."

After the adjustments, he indeed missed some short-term surges, but also preserved the capital structure,

Later, he was able to calmly participate and exit according to plan in opportunities like LUNA and BEAT.

Three months later, he messaged me, saying his account had returned to 350,000 U.

In trading, the greatest risk has never been the market, but people getting lost in their emotions.

If you are also repeatedly trying and erroring, becoming more chaotic, perhaps what you really need is not faster signals, but a rhythm that allows you to slow down and walk steadily.

The next phase of the layout has already begun,

Whether you can make it to the end depends on whether you are willing to pull yourself out of the "gambling" state first.
