In these years, from huge losses to stable profits, what I relied on is not talent, but simplifying methods as I used them more and more.
1. First, ensure survival, then make money
With a principal of 100,000, only move 10,000, total position not exceeding 20%
If a single trade loses 2%, exit immediately.
No all-in, no high leverage.
2. Do less, do it right
Focus on one direction, do not switch back and forth.
Set take profit and stop loss in advance, and execute mechanically.
1 to 2 high-quality trades a day is enough.
3. Stay away from the three major pitfalls for beginners
Adding to a losing position against the trend is the most deadly.
Random trading lets fees eat away profits.
Unrealized profits do not count as earnings.
Correct rhythm
Small position trial → 3% stop loss / 5% take profit → two high-quality entries a week.
A steady 8% monthly, compounded over a year is a huge difference.
Remember one thing:
The premise of making big money is to survive long enough.
