12 years in the industry, 6 years as a full-time trader. Born in the '90s, and now I’ve pretty much figured out the ins and outs of this market. I grew my account from 500,000 to 75,540,000, relying on these hard-earned rules paid for with blood and tears.



The real turning point happened on an ordinary afternoon four years ago.

That day, I pulled up all my trading records and went through them one by one. It was a mix of emotions I couldn’t quite describe. Out of over 1,000 trades, more than 700 were losses, and only about 300 were winners. Even worse, over 200 of those losses were huge. Classic case of small wins and big losses—how could I not lose money?

Thinking back on those big losing trades, the reason was always the same: greed.

When I made money, I didn’t want to leave, always hoping for more. When I lost, I refused to admit it, stubbornly holding on till the end. That’s how small losses turned into big holes, time and time again. As for the small losses? Most of them happened because I entered without a clear plan, trading on luck, opening positions blindly without enough research. Do that often enough, and small losses pile up into something serious.

After reviewing the records, I finally understood where the best entry points should be—at those critical moments when the stock price is just taking off.

Before, all those unclear entries I made were during periods of sideways movement or when the market direction was uncertain. Trading like that is like boiling a frog in warm water—by the time you realize what’s happening, it’s already too late.

After that, I spent a long time summarizing, reflecting, and making a list of issues. I really threw all my energy into it, breaking down the techniques and methodology bit by bit until I truly understood them.

The habit of taking small profits and big losses is really something else. I've fallen into this trap too—by the time I realized it, I was already bleeding heavily.

Over 700 losses to make 75 million—those numbers just sound unbelievable. 99% of people probably can’t even stick around long enough to get to the point of reflecting on it.

More than 700 losses, bro. How do you even manage to lose this much? I need to learn how to lose this "professionally."

Over 700 losing trades just to make 75 million? That logic doesn’t really add up... Is it true or not?

The problem of small gains and big losses is really fatal. Having over 700 losing trades must be so frustrating.
