Most of the losses among small retail investors in the industry come from blindly chasing breakouts. When they see the market pull up a bullish candle and break a previous high, they rush in immediately—without even checking whether the breakout is real. The main players specifically use false breakouts to lure people and sweep orders. Retail investors keep chasing and getting stopped out repeatedly, and the principal is gradually ground down until it’s gone. Today I’m sharing the real turnaround story of a construction-site survey and staking technician: seeking truth with precision offline, and suffering big losses from being careless and blindly following what the chart shows.

I worked on-site for four years as a fan offline line measurement and surveying technician—measuring construction sites, setting out survey points, and calibrating data. The job required millimeter-level precision. If the points were not correct, I would never start construction. Without confirmation, I would never begin work. I’m meticulous and truth-seeking, with zero blind obedience. I saved 23,000 yuan of hard-earned working capital. Outside of work, I also immerse myself in the construction digitization and digital rights confirmation sector. Building on my professional habits of precise timing and evidence-based verification, I lay low-position entries for spot holdings, only doing opportunities with certainty—not blindly following trends. In nine months, I turned 23,000 yuan into 86,000 yuan, earning my first passive income without having to endure sun or rain.

After achieving stable profitability, he became overconfident. Trading contracts became extremely careless, and he lost the habit of precise verification. As long as the chart shows a走势 that looks like a breakout, no matter whether the volume is enough or whether the structure is solid, he blindly chases the order. He always feels that a breakout is an opportunity and has no idea how to distinguish the manipulator’s false-breakout-and-induce-long scheme.

The risky turning point came unexpectedly. That day, the market had been consolidating with a long period of sideways movement. At the end, a fake-breakout bullish candle appeared—seemingly breaking above the top of the range. Retail traders’ sentiment surged and they all followed. He didn’t verify anything and went in with heavy position chasing longs. In the moment he entered, the main force flipped and smashed the price— a textbook case of a bull trap and shakeout. A single spike needle swept out all the follow-on long positions. He didn’t leave room for stop-loss tolerance; he was precisely stopped out and exited. Immediately after the stop-loss was hit, the market returned to consolidation, and his account instantly pulled back to only 26,000. The post-trade review made it crystal clear: it wasn’t the market being ruthless—it was his inability to distinguish true from false breakouts, and his blind following of buy orders.

This loss completely reshaped his trading rules: any breakout must be verified a second time. Only when volume, structure, and continuation all meet the requirements will he enter. Any fake breakout at the end of a range is never involved. In a choppy, oscillating market, he refuses to chase orders—he only buys on pullbacks at lower levels. He would rather miss opportunities a hundred times than make a single wrong trade.

Now he has shifted to an indoor data calculation role, so he doesn’t have to do fieldwork exposed to wind and sun. His account has been steadily recovering to above 92,000. His core business is stable, his assets appreciate, and his life doesn’t require constant worry about money at all. In the future, he will hold the infrastructure digital track spot market for the long term. Contracts will only be used for real breakthroughs and major structural market trends. He has completely quit the bad habit of blindly chasing orders.

Contracts themselves have no risk—only mindless following creates risk. Don’t be afraid to engage in short-term game trading; learn to trade based on evidence. Learn how to identify whether a trend is genuine, filter out garbage signals, and your account will gradually move from losses toward compounding returns. If you want to build a precise timing logic together, we can improve it in the long run.
