I died once, right on the night when my account dropped to $900.



At that time, I was carrying $310,000 in debt, with bank messages flooding into my phone one after another, like a death sentence. I was completely wasted during that period—dazed during the day, overwhelmed at night; watching candlestick charts like gambling screens, placing trades like a madman. Whenever the market rose, I panicked; when it fell, I panicked even more, my heartbeat racing faster than every candle.

But the real turning point came when I finally pressed the pause button for the first time.

Staring at that $900 account, I thought for a long time. If I kept messing around, my $310,000 debt could double to $610,000. It was also around that time that I met someone who truly understood the market. He didn’t feed me any motivational clichés, nor did he advise me to go all-in to turn things around. He only said one thing that I still remember to this day—

"The market direction is fine, but your trading logic is completely reversed."

At that moment, I believed him.

After that, I completely changed my trading approach. No chasing highs or selling lows, no betting on bottom rebounds, and I no longer let emotions control my positions. I only trade when the trend is confirmed, only act when the direction is clear; I test small amounts to find the rhythm, and add to positions once confirmed to take profits; stop-loss is as natural as breathing.

900 → 3800 → over ten thousand.

That was when I first felt: there is still a way out.

The most terrifying thing has never been running out of money, but the thought that I was already finished. The light I saw at that moment changed everything.

In three months, my account went from a negative 310,000 to a positive 1,230,000.

It’s not talent, nor luck. It’s simply that I finally—found the right direction, got into the rhythm, and kept up with the crowd.

If you’re now stuck in anxiety and self-doubt, why not try a different approach? Opportunities in the market are always there, waiting for disciplined and patient traders. The next wave of opportunities is brewing, and many people have already started positioning themselves.

After finishing, to be honest, I feel a bit broken. Not everyone can crawl back from the hell of 900 bucks.

This story sounds a bit familiar, always the same tune... but honestly, that line "the trading logic is completely reversed" really hits home. --- I just want to ask one thing: how did this 310,000 debt happen, and how did it turn into 1.23 million in six months? The numbers are way too smooth. --- Not bad, from mental breakdown to finding the rhythm, this turnaround is indeed impressive. But why are there so many people writing stories like this now... --- If it had been me that night with 900 yuan, I probably would have been done for. Respect for the mental toughness. But I want to ask, how is that "market expert" doing now? --- To be honest, most people won't change after reading this story, because changing requires more than just a story — it requires self-control. --- Small-scale trial and error, confirming before adding positions, sounds simple, but when it comes to execution, the hands start trembling again, right? That's the real challenge.

This story really wore me out... The part about 310,000 in debt was truly despairing, but the turnaround from bankruptcy to over a million... Something's off, it feels like marketing copy.
