In the voice message at three o'clock in the morning, her voice trembled heavily. "This is the last of the money," the background sound of a baby crying intermittently came through. I stared at the phone screen, remembering the first time I met her three months ago, the glaring number in her account balance: 2000U.
The rule I set for her is simple and brutal - divide the principal into twenty parts, and never touch the second part for a single order.
She was anxious at the time: "At this rate, how many years will it take?"
I only replied with eight characters: Don't think about winning for now, learn not to die.
During that time, she would sit in the dark every night after the kids went to sleep, monitoring the market. From 2000 to 5000, and then breaking through 30,000, the pace was steady. She started sharing trading screenshots in the group, and you could feel that energy returning in her words.
The turning point came unexpectedly. One day she suddenly asked me, "Can I try a more aggressive approach now?"
I didn't respond at that time.
Two days later, she fully invested in a rapidly rising altcoin, her voice filled with excitement: "With this wave, I can fill the hole at home."
In less than forty-eight hours, the account was cut in half. I asked her why she didn't follow the stop-loss line, and she was silent for a long time before finally blurting out four words: "I thought this time would be different."
Before I deleted her, I left one last message: You didn't lose to the market, you lost to "thinking you knew."
In this market, those who truly survive until the end are not the ones with the biggest guts, but those who remain vigilant at all times.
Climbing from a few thousand U to tens of thousands U relies on skill and discipline; whether one can hold on without giving back is a test of human nature and reverence. The most likely to encounter problems in a bull market are precisely those who have tasted success and begin to feel that they have "understood".
