200,000 U, crashed down to just 5,000 U—how is this even tradable?
That afternoon around one o'clock, his message popped up, and the first sentence was: Brother Mao, I’m in this situation... Can I still come back?
Brother Mao opened the screenshot and stared at it for several seconds. $RE
An account with 200,000 U, only a tiny balance left hanging there.
The outrageous part is—he went all-in at the SHIB peak, with 10x leverage. $BEAT
You think that’s it?
Not even close. $BSB
He places dozens of orders a day, watches 1-minute candles until his eyes hurt, and the fees cut into him like dull knives, slowly eroding his principal.
When it drops, he adds more, with only one thought in his mind: Bullish return, get out quickly.
And the result?
He didn’t get out in time, but the zeroed-out plan was already in motion.
What’s even worse is FOMO.
Late at night, he saw others bragging about Dogecoin’s hundredfold gains, and in a rush, he went all-in.
The next morning—his account was there, with 5,000 U.
He asked me if he could still turn it around.
I told him straightforwardly: Yes, but you need to start over from scratch with this approach.
Later, I told him to do only three things, nothing complicated, but a bit counterintuitive.
First: Stop messing around.
Close the 1-minute chart, stop chasing candles, just wait for a clear market trend.
If you don’t understand it, stay out of the market, better to miss out than to jump in blindly.
Second: Only add positions after winning.
Never risk more than 10% on the first order, 500 U is 500 U.
Take profit on 20% gains, sell half, and let the rest ride with a trailing stop-loss, letting profits run.
Third: Stop-loss is the key.
Set a stop-loss on every trade, exit immediately if you lose 5%.
Getting hit twice in a day, close the software right away, I’m done for today.
It’s not cool, maybe even a bit “chicken,” but it really works.
After two months, his account climbed back to 100,000 U.
No riches overnight, but he’s alive again.
Brother Mao wants to tell those still underwater: Don’t rush to turn things around, first learn how not to sink.
In this market, 99% of people aren’t clueless about the trend—they’re just fooling themselves: “Hold on a little longer, it’ll come back.”
If you really want to change your life, try opening your trading history and review it step by step.
