If your principal is less than 1500U, here’s the most heartbreaking advice for you right now: don’t think about how to get rich overnight, first learn how to survive in this circle.

Two years ago, I met a brother who started with 1200U and managed to reach 25,000U in just four months, all without a single liquidation or major drawdown. What was the secret? Not luck, just three simple rules—completely naive, but incredibly stable.

**Rule One: Funds must be diversified; full position trading is a death sentence**

Split 1200U into three parts—this is the iron law. 400U for intraday short-term trades (at most one order per day, overtrading leads to ruin); 400U for swing opportunities (only trade once every ten days or half a month); the remaining 400U is for survival (if you’ve lost earlier, this is your comeback). Absolute command: never go all-in.

**Rule Two: Only trade the clearest trends, avoid everything else**

Range-bound? Stay out. 80% of losses come from this. If the trend isn’t clear, stay in cash and wait. Better to miss a rally than lose money blindly. Only trade when the trend is clear—simple and crude, but effective. Market conditions aren’t always present, but your capital’s life depends on daily protection.

**Rule Three: Write down strict rules and clear your emotions**

Stop-loss at 2%, executed daily like eating; take profit at 4% and halve your position; when your account profits exceed 20% of the principal, withdraw 30% immediately; never add to losing positions—this is the real reason 90% of people can’t turn around. No gambling, no holding through losses, no pondering whether the market will recover.

Now that guy’s account has surpassed 50,000U, and the amazing part is he no longer stays up late watching the screen—just 5 minutes a day to check the levels.

Want to turn things around here? Remember this: your principal must stay alive before talking about doubling. Diversify, choose the right timing, control the pace—these may seem dull, but they can save you three years of detours.
