#ETH巨鲸扩大持仓 When I saw Lao Wang last year, this guy looked like a frostbitten eggplant.
I've been working on the production line in an electronics factory for nearly ten years, with shifts messing up my biological clock. I take home just over five thousand a month. It's not that I'm starving, but my life feels like a copy-paste, with no noticeable changes.
The twist came very suddenly—my friend casually mentioned at the dinner table: "Someone in the crypto market made a move that’s worth what we make in a year."
These words were like a wedge driven into his heart. Before long, he charged in, and what was the result? A typical retail investor's three-step routine: chase when it rises, run when there's a profit, and hold on when stuck. With tens of thousands of yuan in principal, he ended up with 5000U.
During that time, he was so insomniac that he doubted his life and felt that he was not cut out for this.
Later I went through his operation records, and to be honest, there's just one problem: the rhythm is completely off, like a headless fly.
I reorganized a way of doing things with him - no nonsense, just three hard rules:
**First, don't let yourself die halfway** Limit single loss to within 5%, and stop after a maximum loss of 10% for the day. Many people don't fail due to lack of skills, but because their mentality collapses while they still try to hold on, ultimately losing even the principal. Only by surviving can one have a chance to turn the situation around.
**Second, let profits take the risk, don't gamble with the principal** When entering the market, you must select key positions, and set the stop-loss at the point where the logic fails. Once the floating profit reaches 5%, the first thing to do is not to increase the position, but to withdraw the principal.
The principal is safe, and from now on, it's about using profits to fight. With a stable mindset, operations will naturally not become distorted.
**Third, position yourself in advance, don't chase the hype** Take a small amount of money to ambush, but not squat. Two conditions must be met: large investors on the chain are obviously absorbing chips, and the exchange spot inventory continues to flow out.
This is not called gambling; it is called occupying a spot in a place with a high winning rate ahead of time. By the time everyone realizes it, you will have already been on the bus.
Half a month later, his account grew from 5,000 U to 50,000 U.
A month later he called me with a shaky voice: "Brother, it's the first time in my life that I've made this much money."
But I know what he really gains is not money, but a sense of control over the rhythm.
Getting rich relies on luck, while long-term success depends on rules. If you can stay steady, money will naturally not slip away.

To be honest, what Old Wang did is a typical case of "hearing a story and going all in," only to be beaten up by the market.

To be honest, Lao Wang's approach really locks in the mindset issue. I think the core is still that 5% stop loss line, which is not just empty talk.

To be honest, I've figured out this trap a long time ago; the key is execution, which most people simply cannot achieve.

To be honest, Old Wang just needed a mindset coach to arrive a bit earlier this time.

Old Wang really pulled it off this time, but to be honest, most people won't be able to learn this trap.

That's right, rhythm is indeed the most crucial factor. Many people lose their mindset first.

To be honest, I've seen this trap from Old Wang many times; it's just a matter of mindset.

Rules are easy to talk about but incredibly difficult to put into practice... After reading this story, I couldn't help but remember my worst trading experiences, all due to my mindset breaking down.

To be honest, this theory sounds right, but I'm afraid most people won't be able to execute it. The mindset is easy to talk about, but when it comes to a 5% loss, how many can decisively play people for suckers?
