At the beginning, the principal was less than 5000U, and the focus was on survival. To put it bluntly, it wasn't about making money back then; it was about staying alive.
I only made 1-2 trades a day, not greedy, not gambling; if the direction was wrong, I would exit.
I only traded markets I understood, using only 20% of my capital for each trade, keeping the rest for safety. Even if I lost two trades in a day, I would never hold on. With this approach, I gradually built up my funds.
Once the principal increased, I entered the second stage:
The focus was on discipline. I began to establish my own system, no longer following the crowd blindly.
Entering a trade must meet three conditions; otherwise, I would not engage. I would withdraw half of the profits upon doubling, and missing an opportunity was not a big deal.
I gradually understood that making money relies on long-term stability, not on a big gamble.
In the third stage, with an account over a million, the focus was on perspective.
I saw too many people reaching this stage only to lose it all again because their mindset hadn't upgraded.
I began to split my account, managing principal, profits, and reserves separately, using at most 30% for contracts.
I controlled the trading frequency, making no more than 15 trades a month, only engaging in the most stable opportunities. If the market was unfavorable, I would take a break; stability is the most important.
Looking back, I didn’t get rich by luck but through rhythm, restraint, and endurance. Don’t always think about turning your fortunes overnight; first learn to survive, then talk about making money.
What you lack is not effort or opportunity, but someone who can help you achieve stable profits in this market.
