Been in the ring for 8 years—there are countless pits I’ve stepped into. I tried every way to make money that ended up losing. In the end, I just managed to stay alive with three clumsy methods, solidly.
When I first entered the market, all I could think about was getting rich fast. I figured if others could make money, I could too. Result? I went heavy and got trapped, chased the price and got buried, held positions until liquidation, kept adding until everything went to zero. Every losing path—I walked each one without repeating. At my worst, my account had only a few hundred U left. I couldn’t sleep at night, had no energy during the day. The market ground all my temper out of me. Only then did I start asking: why have I tried every method, yet I still end up losing?
Later, I went back and reviewed my trade records—page after page, dozens of pages. After reading them, I went silent. Those losing trades had the same underlying problem: position size was too heavy, stop-loss wasn’t enforced, and I couldn’t read the market but insisted on doing it anyway. I learned a ton of technical analysis and drew a pile of lines—yet I lost everything on three most basic points.
First: split your position size.
Before, I liked going all-in, thinking that’s how you make money faster. But when you go all-in, even a normal pullback is enough to break you. One wrong judgment and you’re out. Later, I split up my funds—each time I only moved a small portion. If I was wrong, I lost a small amount and left. If I was right, I added slowly with profits. Only then did my equity curve start to stop shaking.
Second: lock in your stop-loss.
Before, when I lost, I couldn’t bear to leave. I always thought I could hold on a bit longer. Turns out, a small loss became a big loss, and a big loss became liquidation. Later I set rules for myself: when it hits the stop-loss, you leave—no hesitation. A small loss is a cost; a big loss is being eliminated. Admitting you’re wrong isn’t scary. Holding on to a losing trade is.
Third: only trade the setups you can actually understand.
Before, I wanted to trade everything—range-bound too, chasing as well; even when it was oscillating, I still grabbed trades. I’d open a dozen trades in a day. In the end, what I made wasn’t even enough to cover the fees. Later, I learned to wait: wait for a clear direction, wait for signal confirmation, and only act when I’m sure. If I can’t read it, I stay flat. Staying flat isn’t embarrassing—losing money is.
These three rules don’t have much technical content. They’re even a little timid. But it was these three that let me go from a few hundred U to where I am now. It wasn’t about riding a single lucky market move—it’s because every single trade is made according to rules.
If you’re in the same situation right now—trapped from going too heavy, holding until liquidation, losing more the more you trade—don’t stubbornly force it. Come find me. I’ll help you look at how to manage your position, and how you should wait for the next trade. Follow me—we’ll make it through together. #日本央行加息至31年高位
