Don't remind me again today

Starting from 600U, eventually rolling to 170,000U — it might be hard for anyone to believe, but this is the real figure I've achieved with my own money.



It's not about being exceptionally lucky or joining some mysterious circle. It's just three words: hold on tight. Hold on to the positions you should take, endure the market conditions you should withstand, and bear the drawdowns you should carry.

At the very beginning? Just like all rookies. I was scrolling through screenshots of others making thousands of U a day with twenty times leverage, and I was also fooled, thinking I was exceptionally talented.

Then what? Kneeling for three days, 600U directly dropped to 97U.

That night I stared at the screen, my eyes dry as if they were about to smoke, my fingers trembling so much I couldn't even click the mouse steadily. My mind was buzzing, unable to think of anything. It was only at that moment I understood: this market doesn't care how smart you are, it only cares whether you can get rid of that "gambler's mentality" first.

After 97U got back up, I completely changed as a person. Don’t dream of turning things around overnight; first, think of ways to avoid losing everything. Earn at least 20% on each trade? Immediately close half, pocket the profits, and keep the capital to continue fighting. Don’t overthink, don’t gamble, and don’t get carried away by emotions.

During that time, I basically didn't sleep well. I watched the market at two in the morning, took profits and left the market at five, and got up at eight to review the trades. My friends said I was obsessed, but I told them they didn't understand—those in this industry who aren't "stubborn" enough to stick to their principles have already been washed out.

When the account rolled to 18,000 U, several people around me had already been liquidated and exited the market. I became even more cautious: the more money I have, the lighter my positions. I always only use 30% of my funds for trading, keeping the remaining 70% as "survival money" in reserve. I know very well that opportunities are not scarce; what is scarce is whether your account is still alive when the opportunity comes.

There is one trade that I still can’t forget. The market was in complete panic at the time, but I held my position and didn’t move, sticking to my stop-loss point firmly, holding on for ten days. When the market turned upward, that wave directly tripled my account. At that moment, I truly understood: making big money is never about constantly entering and exiting; it's about those who can hold their breath and endure until the trend pays off.

Later, people always ask: "Bro, how did you roll from 600U to 170,000?"

I said, "It's not about piling up with leverage, it's about rolling with the right mindset."

Fluctuations are normal; the truly impressive ones are not those who make money every day, but those who remain calm during losses and don’t get overly excited during gains.

If you are currently losing so much that you doubt your life, or if you look at the market and are hesitant to take action or open random orders - calm down, don't rush. The market is always there, but if your principal is gone, it's really gone. Survive first, then talk about profits.

I also experienced 97U that night, but I couldn't hold on and dropped to zero directly. Hearing you say this, I regret it to the core.

The 97U part is real, but I'm a bit skeptical about the numbers that follow... However, the mindset part really hits home; I've also questioned life after being played by leverage.

I also experienced that night at 97U, and just being alive now means I've already won half the battle. --- To be honest, what hits hardest in these stories isn't the numbers, but the pain of overcoming the gambling mentality. --- I just want to know how you mentally prepared for that ten days without moving your position... frankly, I definitely wouldn't be able to hold on. --- It's easy to roll with U, but the difficult part is not letting yourself get liquidated before your mindset does; I agree with that. --- What resonates with me the most is still "the more money, the more cowardly"; most people go the opposite way.

At that moment, I could feel that kind of despair really can change a person. To be honest, this article struck a chord with me, but it’s still the same saying – most people forget it after reading, and very few can actually do it.

That night, it seemed like I saw your soul leave your body... really, I've heard of this kind of thing too many times, but very few manage to survive it. It's easy to say these three words, but it's deadly to actually do it... most people can't get through that hurdle.

97U that wave is indeed fierce, but I think this trap methodology sounds simple, but it's really hard to put into practice. Only by going bankrupt once can one gain enlightenment; this saying is somewhat heart-wrenching.
