When there are only 2000U left in the account, I understand one principle: if I make another reckless liquidation, the game is over this time.



After that, I didn't think about doubling quickly. The only goal is — to stay alive.

**How to allocate funds? Don't bet big, split it up**

Divide 2000U into 5 parts, each 400U. Only use one part to enter the market at any time. What's the benefit of doing this? The account always maintains 80% liquidity. As long as you don't fully load, don't add to positions, and don't operate based on feelings, it's almost impossible to blow up.

**How to set single trades? Think loss first, then think profit**

Before entering, only look at two numbers — stop loss at 3% (maximum loss of 12 dollars), take profit at 6-10% (earn 24 to 40 dollars). It sounds simple, but this is a small advantage that can be repeated. Don't chase after doubling trends, don't bet on direction, only do structures you are confident in.

**What about execution results? Data is the most convincing**

About 70 trades in a month, with a win rate of around 60% — not high. But calculating:

28 losing trades × -12U ≈ -336U

42 winning trades × +35U ≈ +1470U

Net profit of 1100U+

There are no secrets, just compound interest.

**Three bottom lines, never compromise**

All trades must have stop loss; exit at the expected point, don't be greedy; only do the patterns you're most familiar with, avoid unfamiliar patterns. Don't watch the market constantly, don't chase hot spots, don't fight the market. When there's no opportunity, stay out — that's also part of trading.

**Why are most people still losing?**

The technical aspect isn't really the main issue. When your position size is messed up, even the right direction can blow up; when you finally catch the right move, you can't hold onto the profit. People talk about turning things around, but their hands keep sending money to the market.

I'm not betting on the market direction; I'm betting on whether I can trade according to the rules every day.

43 days from 2000 to 60,000, not because of boldness, but because I completely quit the gambler's mindset. Those who can control risk can slowly grow 1000U; those relying on feelings will eventually see their 10,000U wiped out.

There are plenty of market opportunities, but what’s lacking is people who can survive to the next round.

A 60% win rate can double your investment, which shows that mindset and discipline are truly more valuable than skills... I used to chase that 10% profit, and as a result, I lost it all in a single drawdown.

ngl the risk management framework here checks out... stop loss discipline is literally the only thing separating survivors from liquidation candidates. seen too many exploits of the "just one more trade" mentality lol

That hits close to home. I'm the kind of person who keeps sending money continuously...

There's nothing wrong with what you're saying, but very few people can actually do it... I think the key still lies in mindset; many people fail because of the thought of "almost doubling" but not quite.
