The day before yesterday, I closed a brother who had followed me for nearly a year —

The reason is not that he lost, but that the 3000U he had has been turned into nearly 70,000U. Staying in the group to wait for signals will instead waste the market he should have exited.

When he first found me, his principal was only this little. I didn’t lose any 'magic trades,' just taught him to divide his account into three parts and set three iron rules for himself. Today, I’ll explain them; whether they apply to you depends on your understanding.

The first iron rule: three cuts of capital.

• 40% quick knife: focus on major events — non-farm payrolls, CPI, interest rates, resolve the battle within half an hour after news breaks, don’t linger.

• 40% slow fire: only trade on weekly trends, if it goes against you for three days, exit immediately, never increase positions.

• 20% base position: if there are two consecutive stop losses, implement a 'freeze order,' no trading for two weeks; go to the gym, read books, but don’t open positions.

I told him: money is not a brother; don’t let it gather in your account.

The second iron rule: only chew the sweetest.

• Do not touch within 5% of highs and lows; those are traps set by the big players.

• Must wait for a pullback to enter; only act when the four-hour moving average stabilizes, if there’s no signal, do something else.

• Profit to 25%, immediately withdraw the principal, let the remaining profit run, if it drops back to the cost, exit automatically.

I reminded him: spit out the sugar cane when it loses its taste; don’t fantasize about swallowing the residue.

The third iron rule: write yourself dead.

• Single trade stop loss at 3.5%, cut as soon as triggered, no hesitation allowed.

• If floating profit reaches 10%, immediately raise the stop loss to the opening price, the remaining profit and loss will depend on fate.

• If daily losses exceed 6%, shut down the computer, go out for groceries, and feel the world.

I told him: discipline is not a shackle; it is a fuse that can save your life once it burns out.

After ten months, his 3000U turned into nearly 70,000U.

The curve is not a straight rocket, but a step-by-step staircase, occasionally going down, but never plummeting off a cliff.

For small funds to turn around, the core is three points:

1) Opportunities are never lacking; what’s lacking is the patience to wait for them.

2) The most dangerous thought in the account is: 'the next trade must win.'

3) Slow is not procrastination, but the only protective talisman for small funds.

The road from three thousand to thirty thousand, and the road from thirty thousand back to three thousand, is actually one road.

The difference lies in — some know when to hit the brakes, while others always treat it as the gas pedal.

The rules of the world are simple: first learn not to die, then you are qualified to win.
