When he added me, his account only had 5000U left.
I didn't give him any chicken soup or promises, just a sentence:
"Don't rush to turn the tide, first stop the bleeding."
This guy previously lost over 500,000 in one go.
Staying up all night watching the K-line until dawn, his eyes were frighteningly red; during the day, he was like a walking zombie, his mind full of muddle; his account was all green, but his mentality had already shattered.
My first task for him wasn't to find a rebound entry, but to completely stop.
Don't look at the market, don't place orders, pull out each past trade and review:
Why did he chase the rally?
Why did he hold on to losses without cutting?
Or was it purely emotional out-of-control trading?
Only when he finally admitted "the problem is on my side" did a turning point come.
Next, I taught him a set of methods: small-scale trial and error, strict execution, cutting losses immediately, taking profits and cashing out.
At first, he was quite unhappy, complaining, "Earning only a few hundred U per day like this is too boring."
I replied, "You used to dislike small profits, but ended up losing even more. Now you want to repeat that?"
He didn't say anything more, gritted his teeth and followed along.
On day 7, the account was still alive; on day 30, he had some gains; after 90 days, the net value had almost never retraced.
Starting with 5000U, it gradually grew to over 60,000.
Now he only trades the most confident market signals daily, consistently earning three- or four-figure profits.
He once told me a sentence I’ve always remembered: "I used to earn nothing even when I gave my all, but now I’m slowly recovering in rhythm."
I didn't reply, but I genuinely felt happy for him.
Honestly, this market isn't that mysterious, nor is it about who has the bigger guts to win.
The ones who can truly turn things around are always those willing to stop, follow discipline, and repeatedly practice execution.
If your account isn't looking too good right now but you don't want to keep messing around—
Then ask yourself:
"What should I do next?"
Maybe, you are the next story of a comeback.

The story is well told, but to be honest, what I fear most are cases like this 90-day turnaround... They easily lead people to fantasize.

You're right, stopping the bleeding is a hundred times more important than turning the game around. I was greedy and it almost cost me everything before.

Honestly, stop-loss is more important than dreams... This guy managed to go from 5,000 USD to over 60,000 USD simply because he finally let go of the "doubling dream" and started honestly following discipline. Most people fail because they refuse to admit they're not good enough, still fantasizing about a quick comeback.

Really, stop-loss is a thousand times more important than turning the tide. This guy has finally understood.

Exactly right. I am most annoyed by those who, after losing 500,000, still want to gamble it all. You really need to stop the bleeding first. I believe in Xiao U's story.
