From losing sleep over 2,500U to making over 100,000U
When she first got into crypto, her 2,500U balance had her thrilled when it went up and panicking when it fell. She watched the charts obsessively and lost sleep over every fluctuation. I told her to stop thinking about making 10x and focus on staying in the game. We set five hard-and-fast rules.
First, accept losses as soon as they happen. Don’t gamble to win it back. Once your stop-loss is hit, get out—don’t wait. A small loss is a cost; a big loss is a disaster.
Second, after consecutive losses, stop trading. Shut down the computer, go for a walk, and drink some water. You need to stop not just the losses in your account, but also the emotional spiral.
Third, take profits off the table. Don’t fall for the illusion of unrealized gains. Numbers on a screen aren’t wealth—only what’s actually in your account is yours.
Fourth, follow the trend; don’t try to predict it. If there’s a trend, follow it; if not, wait. Choppy markets drain your money and confidence. If you don’t understand the market, staying out can be more profitable.
Fifth, trade small to stay in the game. With a small account, risk only a small portion on each trade. A light position helps you stay calm and stick to the plan. Experts succeed through long-term compounding, not by getting rich overnight with oversized positions.
Later, her balance grew from 2,500U to over 100,000U. It wasn’t because she could predict the market—it was because she learned to control risk. Even when prices swung wildly, she could still sleep. With futures trading, lasting longer matters more than making money fast. Only by staying in the game do you get the chance to double your money.
