There was a friend who had only 1200U left last year and asked me for help to turn things around. I didn't share any lofty theories, just gave him three practical rules. He stuck with them for 90 days, and his account finally skyrocketed to 50,000U, all while avoiding liquidation throughout. Today I’m sharing these insights; how much you can understand depends on your execution capability.

**Rule 1: Divide the principal into three parts and master the art of "cutting losses"**

Even with only 3000U, manage it in segments. My approach is very strict—divide into three 1000U portions, strictly no reallocation.

The "short-term knife" of 1000U is used solely for intraday timing, with at most two trades per day, entries, and exits done decisively. Not all fluctuations are worth chasing; often, remaining silent is more profitable than acting.

The "trend gun" of 1000U waits for clear signals. If the weekly chart hasn't confirmed an uptrend, stay flat and don't bet on rebounds. Use this money for core parts of major trends; I avoid early accumulations and late decline phases.

The "life-saving fund" of the last 1000U is for emergencies. It can come in handy if the market suddenly plunges. Even if a single position gets liquidated, this money allows you to stay at the table. Going all-in? Then prepare to learn the market’s lesson. Liquidation at most means "losing a finger," with possible recovery; clearing the principal means "cutting off your head," making a comeback impossible.

**Rule 2: Only ride the fattest part of the trend, hide during other times**

Range-bound markets are like a meat grinder; no matter how high your success rate, they can't withstand repeated friction. I’ve observed many accounts where nine out of ten trades during sideways phases are losses.

Set your signals simply: if the daily moving averages are not forming a bullish alignment, stay out of the market and wait. During this phase, avoid trading, and your mindset relaxes greatly. Only when volume breaks through previous highs and the daily closing confirms do you enter for the first time. Don’t try to bottom-fish or catch the top; follow the trend’s rhythm.

When profits reach 30% of the principal, withdraw half to your wallet immediately. Keep the remaining position with a 10% trailing stop, allowing profits to run. Opportunities are daily; the next train always comes. No need to cling desperately to the platform. Catch the bus when it’s heading in your direction.

**Rule 3: Lock up your emotions, treat execution like pressing a button**

Before entering, write a "life-and-death statement"—set stop-loss at 3%, with automatic closing when triggered, no hesitation allowed. Many fall into the trap of "waiting a bit longer"—the more they wait, the more they get trapped, turning a 30% loss into 70%.

Close the trading terminal every night at 11 PM, no matter how tempting the candlestick patterns. If sleep quality suffers, uninstall the app—stay away from temptation. Trading becomes mechanical and dull, which is essential for longevity. Emotional swings are the most costly to your capital.

Looking back, the secret to turning 1200U into 50,000U is not some magical signal but simply fewer mistakes. The market appears daily, but not every principal can be recovered. Memorize these three rules first, then study wave theory and technical indicators—it's not too late. Surviving is the prerequisite for wealth; if you don't, you become just another fee in someone else’s wallet.
