Some time ago, a guy added me and said he's been trading all along, but no matter what he does, he's always losing money.

At first, I didn't pay much attention to it,
until he sent me his recent trading records for a look.
The problem is actually very typical:
When the market goes up, he can't help but chase,
when it drops, he keeps adding to his position,
and when there's volatility, he can't hold on.
Many times, the direction is actually correct,
but the execution is completely chaotic, with no method.
I only told him at the time:
"You're not incapable of trading; you're just doing it the wrong way."
Later, he started to follow my step-by-step adjustments,
no longer opening positions randomly,
first checking the situation before deciding whether to enter.
Initially, there were still losses,
but at least, he wasn't reckless anymore.
There's one trade I still remember very clearly,
when the market was extremely volatile, he kept asking if he should exit first.
I only replied to him:
"Structure hasn't broken, hold on."
That time, he finally endured the volatility for the first time.
As the market moved, he didn't make much profit,
but he told me:
"This is the first time I completed a trade exactly as planned."
After a while, he clearly felt the difference:
no more reckless averaging down,
learning to wait for good entries,
he could hold onto his positions.
Until a few days ago, he sent me a message:
"Since then, I've been earning and slowly making up for the previous losses."
Honestly, this kind of change is more gratifying to me than how much money he makes on a single trade.
Because you can clearly feel that he is starting to "know how to trade."
Actually, many people aren't unable to make money,
they're just wasting energy with the wrong approach.
Someone guiding you to straighten out the rhythm
is much faster than blindly exploring on your own.
No need to rush, take it slow,
if you walk the right path for a while, that's enough.
