Last year, a friend came to me when there was only 1200U left in the account.
It's not that I didn't try hard; I've already made all the mistakes I could make, and my mindset is close to zero.
I didn't give him any 'divine picks'; I only told him three fundamental rules.
After 90 days, his account reached 50000U, and he didn't have a single liquidation in between.
Today I'm sharing as is, I can't guarantee you'll get rich, but it can significantly reduce your chances of being eliminated by the market.
First rule: split the funds first, don't bet everything right from the start.
Even if you only have 3000U, you must use it in parts, rather than all at once.
My habit is to have three parts, each with its own role:
Short-term funds: only do small segments with high certainty.
No more than two trades a day; stop after finishing, do not chase or linger in battle.
Trend funds: only recognize the big direction.
If the weekly trend doesn't strengthen, funds won't move, better to miss than to take risks.
Safety reserve: for extreme situations.
Pinning, operational errors, black swans, at least you can still stand at the poker table.
There are only two results for full positions:
Either lose control of emotions, or exit directly due to a mistake.
In the market, 'being able to continue playing' is much more important than 'how much I earn this time'.
Second rule: only participate during the established trend, do nothing at other times.
Fluctuating markets are not friendly to retail investors; they essentially consume patience and discipline repeatedly.
My judgment criteria are very simple:
Daily moving averages have not formed a bullish structure → No position.
Break through previous highs with volume, and close the daily line above the breakout → Participate for the first time.
When profit reaches 30% of the principal,
→ First cash out half, use 10% of the remaining position to move stop-loss.
Remember one thing:
The market always has the next opportunity, but the principal may not have a second chance.
Don't rush to the starting point, just eat the middle section; this is how ordinary people survive long-term.
Third rule: prioritize emotional management, rather than regretting after the fact.
True risk control is not reviewing after a margin call, but writing the ending before entering the market.
I asked him to do three things:
Set stop-loss in advance for each order (within 3%), trigger and execute immediately.
Shut down at the right time, do not extend operating hours due to market conditions.
If your sleep is affected by market conditions, uninstall the trading software immediately.
When trading becomes a mechanical, boring, repetitive process,
You will find that the account starts to stabilize and rise.
From 3000U to 50000U,
It's not about how accurate the judgment is, but about making fewer mistakes.
Market conditions change every day.
But whether you can stay in the market depends on whether you execute these 'counterintuitive' rules properly.
Surviving is the only qualification to discuss a comeback;
Being eliminated will only turn you into someone else's transaction fee.
If you can really do these three things,
Then the subsequent techniques, indicators, and systems will have meaning.
