When I was left with only 2000U, I made a decision — to use this small flame to gamble once. But this time is different; I’m no longer betting on the market trend, but on whether I can survive.

That 2000U is not new capital; honestly, it’s a bit painful. It’s the “remaining health” after a big loss, the last hope left from previous locked-in profits. I clearly know that if I mess up again, this money will be gone without a trace.

So I set a strict rule for myself — to do one thing: minimize risk to the extreme and keep the account alive.

**Position Management Strategy**

Divide 2000U into 5 parts, each 400U. It sounds simple, but this is the first strict rule I wrote down. Always only hold one position at a time, no adding or full positions, leaving 4 bullets in the account at all times.

Set stop-loss and take-profit levels first. 3% stop-loss, losing at most 12U per trade. 6%-10% take-profit, with profits starting from 24U per trade. No chasing big profits; focus on small wins that can compound.

At first glance, the returns don’t seem high, but don’t rush to look down on it.

About 70 trades per month, with roughly 60% win rate. Doing the math — 28 losing trades, each -12U, totaling -336U. 42 winning trades, averaging +35U each, totaling about +1470U. Net profit of over 1100U. Doubling the principal is just a matter of time.

**It’s not a technical problem, it’s an execution problem**

I strictly adhere to three rules. First, always set a stop-loss on any trade, never hold a position blindly. Second, exit when the target is reached, don’t be greedy. Third, only trade familiar patterns — I only trade breakouts of structures.

No watching the screen constantly, no chasing rallies, no fighting the market. It may seem unremarkable, but that’s where the difference lies.

Most people lose money not because of lack of skill, but because their positions get out of control. When they go against the trend and hold on to zero, even if the direction is right, they can’t hold it. They talk about turning things around, but their operations are just giving money away. To be blunt, some people’s accounts are just ATMs for the market.

I don’t bet on market direction; I only bet whether I can execute discipline properly. This bet is much smaller, and much more reliable.

**43 Days of Snowballing**

Starting with that 2000U, in 43 days it grew to 60,000U. It’s not luck — it’s a complete switch from a gambler mode to a trading mode.

Those who understand the method can start with 1000U and still take off. Those who don’t, even 100,000U can go to zero.

The market isn’t short of opportunities; what’s missing is the ability to survive until the next opportunity.
