After 8 years of struggles, I have seen more account liquidations than the ice cubes in a milk tea shop. Honestly, I advise: those posts shouting 'quick doubling' are more fake than a scumbag's promises! Every day I come across a bunch of 'experts' flaunting six-figure profits, only to have someone turn to me asking, 'What should I do if my account is wiped out?', this isn’t an investment arena; it’s clearly a 'greed filtering machine': filtering out those eager to get rich overnight, who can’t even wait for the signals.
Last winter, a fan sent me a message at midnight, the voice trembling like a shaking toy, along with a screenshot of a $3500 account and the caption: “Teacher, I followed the news and made blind moves, and in less than half a year, I lost nearly 100,000. This is all that's left of my 'lifeline money'.” If it were someone else, they might advise him to “withdraw quickly,” but I shot back at him: “As long as you haven't completely exited, this money isn't your savings; it's your ticket to get back in the game” — now this brother shares afternoon tea every few days, and there are two more zeros behind the account number, while others panic and cut losses, he remains steady as a rock. This is what it looks like to play smart!
This is definitely not a stroke of luck; it is me forcing him to thoroughly understand three 'life-saving iron laws'. Veteran players who can survive three rounds of bull and bear markets rely entirely on this method to extend their lives. The valuable advice is directly given; those who understand are secretly making money.
❶ Don't put all your eggs in one basket: divide $3500 into 10 parts, and only operate with a little over $300 each time! Some people think that 'with a small capital you should go all in' is purely foolish. Going all in is like drunk driving; it seems fast but will ultimately lead to a crash! Break it into smaller pieces; if you lose, just consider it as having a costly milk tea, and maintain a stable mindset to see the market clearly. If you go all in, you'll panic after a loss and jump around, and if you make a little profit, you'll run away, never able to get the big gains.
❷ The principle of taking profits without being greedy: I set strict rules for my students: for every trade, if you make 20%-30%, immediately reduce your position by half, and set a 'breakeven line' for the rest! Don't underestimate this ratio; the ones who meet the worst fate in the market are those greedy ones who say 'I'll sell after another 5% rise'. Originally, they were making a fortune but had to wait for the last bit, and ended up turning profits into losses, with no place left to cry. Small profits snowball, and the capital is always safe; this is the long-term way, understood?
❸ The dual indicator sieve principle: delete all the flashy indicators and only keep the two most handy ones! Only when both indicators nod and say 'go for it' do you take action; if the market gets chaotic, immediately sit back and watch! Experts don't trade every day; they can sit and wait for 3 days just for a clear signal. One of my students later told me: 'I used to trade every day, which was just giving money to the market.' That statement is absolutely correct!
Honestly, I am most annoyed by those 'talking big gods' who flaunt their profit screenshots. If you really have the ability, why not show your students' stable earnings? The core of this industry has never been about 'making quick money', but about 'surviving'. Only by surviving can you have the opportunity to earn slow money, and slow money is real money! Those who dream of getting rich overnight end up becoming the 'nutrients' of the market.
