My journey from liquidation to a million, now I’ll share it with you
It's not a motivational speech, and it's certainly not a myth.
Three years ago, my account was cleared by a market wave, leaving me with less than 1200U. During that time, I faced continuous liquidations and borrowed money to cover losses, which shattered my mindset completely.
But it was from that moment that I forced myself to change my strategy. After more than two years, I turned my account into a million. Today, I will clarify my thought process; if you follow it, you can see recovery results in three months.
Step 1: Survive first, then talk about recovery
Back then, I set strict rules for myself:
No single position should exceed 15% of total capital, and the maximum loss per trade should not exceed 5% of the account.
What does that mean? Even if I make five consecutive mistakes, the account is still intact.
Why do many people keep losing? It’s because they panic when losing and get carried away when winning, ultimately dying on uncontrolled positions.
Step 2: Only trade what you understand
Don’t randomly imitate others in short-term trading, nor blindly hold positions against the trend.
My approach is simple:
Either follow the daily and 4-hour trends, or guard key support and resistance levels, waiting for a rebound or breakthrough.
I never chase emotional candles, nor gamble on unexpected news. If I don’t understand the chart, I firmly don’t take action.
Step 3: Roll over positions to grow, rather than betting heavily
When the capital is small, wanting to get rich overnight is a dead end.
My rhythm back then was: increase position by 10% with each profit; cut down by 20% with each loss; and after consecutive profits, stay out for a day to calm down.
The result is that profits snowball and grow larger, rather than relying on a single trade to turn things around.
Step 4: Use system trading, don’t rely on feelings and guesses
I forced myself to do three things:
- Write down reasons for all trades;
- Review once a week;
- Set stop-loss and take-profit before placing orders, never change it on the fly.
Over time, the bad habits of losing money were exposed, and after correcting them, the curve naturally stabilized.
Recovery is not about luck; it's about execution.
The majority who lose money don't lack methods, but lack execution power.
Those who can truly turn things around only do three things: open fewer trades, control their hands, and have a plan.
If your account isn’t large now, don’t think about shortcuts; just follow this strategy.
Going from 2000U to 20,000 is just a matter of time.
The market is still brewing. If you still don’t understand how to play, it’s okay; hurry up and layout with me, and I’ll clearly arrange your positions!
