2000U Two months to earn 80,000U: Rules are more important than market trends

Looking at the 82,356U in my account, I still think back to that night two months ago—

The balance was only a little over 2000U, and I didn't even dare to fully open 5x leverage, fearing that if I flipped again, it would be completely over.

That was my fifth liquidation this year.

When I got home, my wife changed the password for the trading software and left a message:

"If you keep trading contracts, don’t come back."

That day I sat on the balcony, smoking one cigarette after another, finally admitting—what killed me was not the market, but that I had always been trading like a 'gambler'.

Turning point: Abandon the life-risking playstyle, switch to a controllable model

I set three hard rules for myself:

1. Capital is always the bottom line

Each trade loss ≤ 5% of total funds, if I can't bear it, I walk away;

Not fully invested, not relying on feelings, always keep some bullets for the next opportunity.

2. Cut small losses quickly, hold large profits slowly

Stop loss at 2%-3% directly, never hold on stubbornly;

Only consider taking profits after making 30%, preferably 50% or double before reducing positions;

Winning relies on the risk-reward ratio, not the accuracy of guessing market trends.

3. Only trade in strong trends

If there’s no trend, I’d rather stay out, avoid volatility, and not chase emotional trades;

Wait for the trend to align with volume, then seize the main upward wave in one go.

The key to multiplying capital by 40 times: Profit Pyramid

My rolling position logic is very simple: Add to the position when winning, do nothing when losing.

• Only use half of the profits to add to the position;

• Stop loss for added positions is stricter, ensuring that only profits are lost, not the principal;

• The principal needs to remain stable like a stabilizing needle, allowing profits to grow round after round.

A simple example of the process:

First trade earns 240U → Take 120U to roll into the next trade

Second trade earns 36U → Take 60U to roll into the third trade

Profits stack up like a snowball, with the principal hardly affected.

Can 2000U make a comeback?

Yes, but the premise is that you execute more ruthlessly than anyone else.

If you still want to bet everything for overnight wealth, then don’t follow my example;

But if you want to truly succeed in trading, then first practice making a stable profit of 100U daily, and as the principal gradually grows, profits will naturally accelerate.

Liquidation has never been a market issue, but a problem with your methods.

Stable returns do not rely on talent, but on rules and execution.

For those with a few thousand U, why not give it a try—

First survive, then talk about making a comeback.
