#比特币对比代币化黄金 Three days. The complete process of an account coming back from the brink.



At 2 a.m. on Wednesday, a friend messaged me—the account balance was down to four digits. He wasn't asking to borrow money after losing it all; he wanted to know if it was still worth continuing.

I checked his trading records—a classic case of chasing highs and cutting losses at the worst moments, always acting at peak emotions. But one detail gave me hope: he kept records of every trade, which meant he at least reviewed his trades.

So I told him, give yourself three more days. No adding positions, just watch the existing holdings and follow the rhythm I set.

**Day One: Wait for a Confirmation Signal**

That day the market felt like it had been suppressed too long, with mainstream coins repeatedly testing key support levels. We didn’t rush to buy the dip—we waited at that level for confirmation of volume.

At 3 p.m., the moment there was a breakout with volume, he entered as planned.
By the end of the day, the account had grown more than sevenfold. When he sent me the screenshot, his hands were shaking.

But I told him not to get excited. This was just the beginning.

**Day Two: Hold on to the Profits You Shouldn't Lose**

The pullback came earlier than expected. Many people panic at this point, either exiting too soon or stubbornly holding to the end.

We had already set take-profit targets and drawdown tolerance—sell in batches at certain price points, and if the pullback didn’t break support, keep holding. That pullback landed right on the edge of our preset range, then bounced back up.

He said it was the first time he realized trading didn’t have to rely on guessing.

**Day Three: Stay Calm When Things Get Craziest**

The last day was the most volatile. The community was full of “go, go, go” signals, and he asked if he should add more.

I told him no.
Stick to the plan—take profits in batches at the target, regardless of whether it keeps rising.

At 9 p.m., the market hit our final take-profit target. He closed out all positions, and the account balance jumped to six figures.

Then he sent a message: "Turns out discipline is more important than luck."

---

This wasn’t some miracle trade, nor did we have inside information.

We just did three things right:
1. Waited for confirmation before acting—no guessing tops or bottoms in advance.
2. Set rules ahead of time, so we didn’t have to improvise when the market moved.
3. Exited at the planned levels, without fantasizing about even higher highs.

Most people don’t lack opportunities for a comeback—they just make decisions at the most emotional moments.

The market doesn’t give you opportunities just because you’re anxious, but it will reveal vulnerabilities when you’re calm.

If you’ve been stuck at a bottleneck for a long time, maybe what you’re missing isn’t capital, but a stable, repeatable trading framework.

Next time the market moves, will you be ready?

To be honest, this logic sounds flawless, but how many people can actually pull it off in practice... Especially at the moment when the account grows 7 times, who can resist not going all in...

Discipline sounds simple when talked about, but how many people can actually hold back when it comes to truly practicing it?

ngl this discipline thing actually tracks statistically... most traders blow up because they're making decisions at peak emotional volatility instead of following predetermined rules

Discipline can really save your life. I'm the type who follows calls in group chats, and I lose every time. Looks like I really need to reflect on my own trading framework.
