Once, someone went from 1400U to over 50kU

But in the end, we didn’t continue working together. This experience made me realize that making money is one thing, but being able to hold onto the way of making money is another
When he first came, his state was typical—after a liquidation, he had only 1400U left, and his mindset was both anxious and fearful
On one hand, he wanted to turn things around; on the other, he was afraid of losing again and being wiped out completely
The requirement at the start was simple: don’t go heavy first
For the first trade, I only let him take a small test position, but he thought it was too slow to profit. I told him the problem now isn’t making slow profits—it’s not surviving long
The early phase went smoothly. Through small test positions and trend trades, he gradually went from 1900U to 5000U, then to 8000U
At each step of profit, I required him to lock in a portion of the gains before continuing to roll, rather than putting everything back in
This step was crucial—it essentially removes profits from risk
The problem came in the later stage. After the account grew steadily, his trading began to distort—trusting his gut, reducing communication, and increasing position size
One altcoin rally wasn’t executed according to plan, and a single drawdown exceeded 40%, directly breaking the rhythm that had been built
The reason for stopping cooperation wasn’t the loss—it was that he had started deviating from the rule system
In trading, once execution discipline is replaced by feelings, the system has already failed
Making an account grow isn’t the hardest part—the hardest part is being able to continue following the same set of rules after it has grown
The traders who truly survive long-term aren’t the fastest earners—they are the most consistent executors
It’s not hard to make a comeback once—what’s hard is not throwing away the method of that comeback
