Looking at the remaining 1800U in the account, Ajie sent a desperate message:

"Brother Tian, this time I really can't hold on anymore." This was his second time blowing up in three years.

I seemed to see myself from a few years ago—the one who dropped from 500,000U to 30,000U during the altcoin frenzy in 2017, and lost the last hope in the leveraged betting game in 2020.

I didn't give trading strategies, but sent three lines: Forget about "recovering losses", just want to "stay alive"; Treat your money as the last bullet; When the market is at its craziest, it's the time you should be the calmest.

I had Ajie divide the 1800U into three parts. 1000U as the "foundation position", only trading BTC and ETH, following a simple "fear-greed" indicator: When the overall fear index exceeds 85 and the price is at a key support level, use 3x leverage to gradually enter, with stop losses set in the "vacuum zone" 3%-5% below the support level.

500U as the "mobile unit", used for short-term opportunities when volatility increases, with a strict loss limit of 2% per trade. Finally, 300U was withdrawn to a cold wallet, as an "immovable spark of resurrection".

The trial at the end of last year became a turning point. The market fluctuated due to macro news, with BTC plummeting 10% in a day, and the fear index soaring to 88.

Ajie trembled on the phone wanting to stop loss, and I reminded him: "Look at Principle One, is it the most fearful time in the market? Has the stop loss point been triggered?" He confirmed it hadn't and withstood the pressure. The next day the market rebounded, and he closed at the resistance level as planned, making a small profit of 5%.

In March this year, mainstream public chain projects faced technical skepticism, and token prices halved, with the fear index breaking 90.

Ajie's "foundation position" signal was triggered, and he decisively bought at the key support level. Five days later, the price recovered, and he steadily profited 40%.

Now Ajie's account has grown from 1800U to 20,000U. He said: "Before, it wasn't about trading coins, it was about gambling with my life. Now I understand, using rules to control my hands is ten thousand times more important than seizing every opportunity."

After ten years of ups and downs, my biggest gain is seeing the nemesis of retail investors—the self that always wants to get rich overnight.

I teach my disciples, not passing down secrets, but a set of "firewalls" to combat inner demons. In this market, living long is the only truth to laughing last.

Before, I was bumping around in the dark alone, now the light is in my hands.

The light is always on, will you follow? @币来财888
