#美国非农就业数据表现优于预期 People often DM me asking: How is it possible to turn just a few thousand bucks of capital into a million?
I know a guy who started out with 7,000 RMB and forced his way in. The market was freezing cold back then, and that was all the money he had left. He swapped it for about 1,000U and went all in with a burn-the-boats mentality.
But he didn’t just ape in blindly. The first stage was all about the “compounding game”—using only 200U each time, focusing solely on the hottest coins of the day, and cashing out as soon as he doubled up. If he was unlucky and lost down to 50U? He’d cut the loss immediately, never hoping for a miracle. Winning three rounds like that in a row was enough to grow his principal.
The most dangerous thing isn’t losing money, it’s getting overconfident. So every time he got to a little over 1,000U, he’d force himself to take a day off and cool his head.
Once his capital base was bigger, he started building a portfolio—that’s the real dividing line between “barely surviving” and “actually making money.”
**Part of the money was for quick in-and-out trades.** Like running a street stall: grab 3% gains and pack up, and don’t fight the market when it dips.
**Part of the money went into regular DCA.** Investing a fixed amount every week, buying into trends not emotions.
**And a portion was heavy ammo.** He’d only deploy this when there was major news, clear policy signals, or an obvious market breakout—and every time before entering, he’d write down two numbers: take profit and stop loss. If you can’t write down those two numbers, you’ll end up getting wrecked by your own emotions.
Leverage isn’t an ATM, it’s just a magnifying glass—it magnifies both your correct calls and your bad decisions.
He went from 1,000U to tens of millions by sticking to four core rules: Never go all in, always set a stop loss for every trade, never open more than three positions a day, and withdraw profits as soon as you hit your target.
Over the years, I’ve seen too many people get lucky and make their first pot of gold, only to lose it all to greed. The ones who survive are always the ones who are ruthless with the market and even more ruthless with themselves.

You're absolutely right; the core is self-discipline and stop loss. I've seen a few people around me who have survived through discipline, while those who shout about doubling the position size every day have long disappeared. The most heartbreaking part is the saying, "Greed gives all the money back"—how many people have fallen into this trap?

There's nothing wrong with that. It's just that "if you can't write down your take profit and stop loss, you'll die in your emotions" hits hard. I've seen too many dreamers.

Sounds pretty heartbreaking, and what he said is all true... It's just that everyone understands this principle, but executing it really kills people. That guy is indeed ruthless, but if it were me, I would have inflated a long time ago.

To put it bluntly, these four iron rules can really help you survive. I'm just afraid that most people will forget after reading this, and next time they will still make random cuts when they incur losses.

It all sounds correct, but very few people can truly stick to this discipline—maybe one in a hundred. Most people start getting cocky after earning just over a thousand and insist on going all in.

That's absolutely right. Most people fail at execution because of greed—everyone I know is like that too... Just a couple of days ago, I saw a guy go all-in and get liquidated. Honestly, if you can't bring yourself to write the words "stop loss," you shouldn't be trading contracts at all.

You're not wrong. The key is still mindset and discipline. I've seen too many people go all in and then go back to square one.

Sounds good, but the key is that most people simply can't be tough on themselves. I'm a living example, haha.
