I'm not pretending to be a big shot; I'm just an old trader who has been knocked down countless times by the market and finally survived. This little profit is nothing to a big shot, but for many people, it might change their perception.

A fan once brought over 1500U, hoping to recover previous losses. I didn't talk to him about complex theories like moving averages or MACD; I simply shared three practical experiences I learned from real trading.

He followed these for three months, and his account grew to 45,000U without ever getting liquidated. This isn't luck; it's discipline.

**First: Divide your money into three parts**

Split 1500U into three separate amounts of 500U each. Each is independent. The first part is for short-term trading, with a maximum of 2 positions per day. After trading, close the software and don't watch obsessively; the second part waits for a genuine trend. If the weekly chart doesn't show a bullish pattern or there's no volume breaking key levels, stay in cash and wait; the third part is insurance—only add positions when the market is about to liquidate your holdings. This money is for protecting your principal.

**Second: Only take one bite of the trend**

All three entry signals are essential. If the daily moving averages don't form a bullish pattern, stay in cash and observe. When volume breaks previous highs and the daily chart stabilizes, try a small position. When profits reach 30% of the principal, take half off the table. The remaining part should have a 10% trailing stop. Take profits when possible; don't be greedy.

**Third: Lock in your emotions**

Before entering a trade, write a trading plan. Set a stop-loss at 3%, and close the position automatically when hit—no hesitation. When profits reach 10%, move the stop-loss back to the breakeven point to protect gains. The key is to shut down your computer promptly at midnight every day; if you can't sleep, uninstall the app to avoid impulsive actions.

Markets are always available, but if your principal is gone, there's no chance left.

Solidify these three principles first. It's never too late to learn about wave theories and various indicators. Those who survive and profit in the market are always those who first learn to protect themselves.

Have you made up your mind?

1500 to 45,000, discipline can really change your fate --- That's right, protecting the principal is protecting the future --- I'll try this three-step approach; it's much smarter than holding a position blindly --- The key is self-control; I need to learn to turn off the computer at 12 o'clock --- It looks simple, but very few can actually do it --- This guy's advice is more practical than any moving average theory; it's about doing trading with integrity

Damn, I’ve already been doing these three segmentation methods before, and they really worked.

Damn, this is the real talk of a practitioner. No nonsense, just straightforwardly making money to survive.

1500 to 45,000, this level of discipline is really ruthless. Just the rule of shutting down the computer at midnight makes me have to admire it. --- No doubt about it, the 3% stop-loss threshold has trapped many people. Greed is truly the real culprit behind margin calls. --- The three-stage approach is really brilliant. It feels like putting three layers of insurance on oneself, no wonder it has never led to a margin call. --- What I appreciate most is that he didn't mention any indicators, directly cutting away 80% of the unnecessary talk. --- Take 30% profit and run, leave the remaining 10% to move the stop-loss to take profit... Brother, this cuts greed at its source. --- The key point is still that one sentence: the market is there every day, but losing your principal is the real despair. --- Turning 1500 into 45,000 does look impressive, but after hearing these three points, it feels like there's nothing mysterious about it—just pure self-control.

1500U to 45,000, I really respect this discipline. To be honest, just don't be greedy or impatient. The key is indeed that three-stage division method; having the right mindset can really keep you stable. But I still think the hardest part is shutting down the computer at midnight. Easy to say. If I understood this stuff earlier, it could have saved so many people. I'm damn regretful. --- To be honest, I only just now understand the importance of protecting the principal. No one teaches this when you're losing money. --- Stop-loss at 3%, take half at 30% profit. It sounds conservative, but it really helps you last longer. Right now, I just want to add more and hold on, but I regret it terribly afterward. --- Bro, I need to screenshot these three points. They're so clear, no need to show off—just straight to the point. --- I just want to ask, has this fan really been following it for three months without ever getting wrecked?
