Last year, a follower went from 100k U down to just 5,000 U.


To put it bluntly, the pitfalls he fell into are actually the same ones most people encounter:
Frequent reckless trading—dozens of orders a day, fees piling up, principal shrinking;
Holding onto losses stubbornly—saying "the bull is back" out loud, but deep down unwilling to admit defeat;
Seeing someone flaunt a 100x coin, immediately FOMO in with all their funds, only to see their account shrink the next day.
During that period, he barely stopped—staring at the charts until dawn, eventually numb.
He later told me one thing: "Am I being butchered by the market?"
I didn't comfort him at the time, I just told him to stop first.
To turn things around, forget about making money first—learn to stop losing.
Later, I only asked him to change three things:
First, only trade high-timeframe signals.
Cut out the 1-minute and 5-minute charts entirely; at most, look at 4-hour-plus structures.
Better to miss out than to trade recklessly.
Second, reduce trading frequency.
At most three trades per day; if you feel the itch, step away from the screen—no emotional trading allowed.
Third, fix position sizing and stop-losses.
First position no more than 10%, stop immediately if down 5%—no adding, no holding, no fantasizing.
At first, he struggled to adapt, because before he'd "just go for it," and now he had to "wait for signals to move."
But the result was that his account started to stabilize—no more wild swings.
He said the most noticeable change was: he finally stopped waking up every day in regret.
Later he asked me one thing: "Why didn't anyone teach me this before?"
I said it directly: because most people would rather gamble than admit they need rules.
With futures trading, there's only one way to turn things around: survive first.
It's not about finding opportunities; it's about not wiping yourself out.

If you're also experiencing repeated losses right now, take a step back and review your trading history—
Ask yourself: are you actually trading, or just clicking around emotionally?

This story is too real. High-frequency trading is a slow suicide; the transaction fees eat up the principal faster than the losses.

After reading it, I directly closed the 1-minute K-line. I used to think missing the market would be deadly, but now I realize that reckless trading is the real death. Rules are a hundred times more important than predictions. Survive first before you can even talk about turning things around.
