Many retail traders study indicators, understand technical analysis, and still can’t hold onto profits. The core problem is overconfidence and obsession with prediction. They always feel they can precisely catch the top and bottom, ignore the market’s established trend, and make hard bets against the trend—only to be repeatedly educated by the market and ultimately harvested. Today, I’m sharing the dramatic comeback story of a precision instrument assembly worker. After watching, you’ll fully understand the essence of trading with the trend—survival of the fittest.

He has been in the industry for five years, focusing on the assembly, calibration, and error debugging of high-end precision instruments. His work requirements are zero mistakes—fully complying with objective parameters and eliminating any subjective assumptions. He saved 42,000 yuan of hard-earned principal. Outside of work, he studied the high-end intelligent manufacturing digital track, understood the real value of industrial intelligentization implemented on-chain, built positions in spot holdings in batches at low levels, and followed market trends completely—never guessing the ups or downs and never doing random, impulsive things. In nine months, he turned 42,000 into 139,000, winning his first bucket of money in the crypto world and completely escaping the monotonous, meticulous assembly-line work.

After achieving stable profitability, his confidence swelled drastically. He believed his data analysis and trend judgment skills crushed the market itself. He began to frequently use futures to predict turning points: when it rises, he guesses the top; when it falls, he guesses the bottom. He developed a habit of fighting against the trend and completely lost the underlying logic of trend-following trading.

The most dangerous turning point: the market is in a strong downtrend. He subjectively believes the decline is already done and that an oversold rebound is about to happen. He goes heavily long against the trend and gets trapped, insisting on holding through the losses while waiting for a reversal. It just so happens that the factory has a large batch of instruments being assembled and calibrated on an expedited schedule, with closed-loop work all day and no time to rebalance positions. He can only painfully stop the loss and exit. His account directly drops back, leaving only 57,000. Back then he was full of resentment, thinking his parameter judgment was fine; but the market keeps drifting lower and breaking down. Every player who tried to catch the falling knife with counter-trend entries gets liquidated and wiped out.

At this moment, he truly comes to his senses: no personal subjective ideas can ever beat the market’s real price action; following the trend is the only way out in trading.

Now he completely abandons predictive thinking and only trades purely in the direction of the trend: no guessing the top, no probing the bottom, and no counter-trend betting. He starts with a small position to test and confirm the trend, then slightly adds to amplify profits. Every trade must include a hard stop-loss and is executed unconditionally. He only takes the steady middle portion of the market and gives up high-risk tail-end chases.

Now he has switched to a technical quality inspection role. He doesn’t toil on an assembly line anymore. His trading account steadily rebounds to +168,000. There’s no economic pressure at all, and life feels calm and relaxed. Going forward, he will continue to delve deeply into the digital high-end manufacturing track; he will establish a long-term base with spot holdings, and use lightly margined futures to compound trend-based swings.

A sincere message to all traders: in the end, in futures trading, what you need is reverence—not arrogance. You don’t have to give up short-term trading; instead, give up subjective predictions and follow the market’s trend. Only then will your account keep growing positively.$BANK $BTC $EUL #SpaceX星舰完成上市后首次成功试飞
