To be honest, when I swore to make back that 1 million hole with the remaining 300,000, even my mom thought I was crazy.

Those days before were truly desperate. Losing almost a million, my mentality wasn’t just broken—it was completely numb. When I woke up in the morning, my first reaction wasn’t sadness, but emptiness. But it was that emptiness that forced me to realize one thing: if I kept playing like this, sooner or later I’d lose even my underwear.

So I changed my way of living: I stopped chasing.

I used to think there were opportunities in the market every day, and if I didn’t jump in, I was missing out. But what happened? Every time there was an ambiguous signal, I’d go all in, and any profits I made would be lost in the next rash trade. This time, I did the opposite—I kept watching the market, but kept my hands off the trigger, only acting when the opportunity was “clear trend, clean signal.”

I set entry standards. Never add to a losing position. Only scale up after making a profit. Stick to the risk control framework no matter what.

From 300,000 to 660,000, I only made 15 trades. Yes, you read that right—just 15 trades. I got stuck at the 400,000 mark for a week, almost had a setback at 500,000 but held on, and only when I reached 660,000 did my account finally stabilize. There’s nothing legendary about this process—it was just pure grit. I resisted the itch to overtrade, resisted the envy of watching others make fast money.

I remember when I broke 500,000, some guy mocked me: “Still dreaming? Wake up.” Now I slap the data in his face: the dumbest method—wait, follow the rules, don’t be greedy—really can make your money back.

But let me be clear: this approach isn’t for everyone.

If you’re the type who gets anxious not trading for a day, or if you think “waiting = wasting time,” then we’re not the same kind of people. I’m only for those who’ve truly suffered, want to change, and are willing to stick to the rhythm.

What markets do I watch? When do I dare to go big? How do I set take-profit zones?—I won’t share these everywhere. Things that can really make money are never shouted about on the street.
