From 3000 to 50,000: A 30-Day Trading Advancement Guide — For You Who Are Still Exploring the Market
First, set a small rule
Treat 3000U as your last resort.
Remember two hard lines:
• If a single trade loses 4%, clear out immediately;
• If you lose 12% in a day, decisively stop and go exercise, keeping your capital gives you a chance to turn things around.
First week: Stability is key
Focus on two entry points: monthly support level and hourly false breakout.
For the first trade, invest 300U, set a stop loss at 1.2%, and take profits at 3% by closing half.
Transfer the profits out the same day, don’t leave them in the account “overnight.”
Before the market closes, adjust the stop loss to the entry price, let the market take care of itself.
Second week: Try to move forward a step
When the account first reaches 8000U, withdraw 8% to treat yourself to a nice meal; isn’t that why we make money?
After that, invest 600U each time, but narrow the stop loss to 1.8%. With increased position, the risk must be reduced, this is respect for the market.
Third week: Follow the trend
When the trend becomes clear, adjust the risk-reward ratio to 3:1, moving positions from hourly to 4-hour charts.
Only add positions when it stands firm at the 38.2% retracement, and after each addition, withdraw 25% of the profits.
The account grows like a snowball, with core funds remaining safe, operations become smoother.
Fourth week: Protect your gains
Once you reach the target of 30,000U, start “profit protection”: for every additional 5000U, withdraw 30% to lock in, while continuing to trade with the rest.
If there’s a 6% drawdown, reduce leverage and revert to the previous stage's strategy. The account curve should only rise or stay flat; too much decline triggers an alarm.
Three principles of trading
• Do not engage with markets you don’t understand, don’t follow the crowd;
• Be quick with stop losses, don’t wait for fantasies to shatter;
• Compound interest is the reward for discipline, not luck.
After 30 days, if the account curve is going up, the market is your ATM;
Even if you don’t meet the target, at least you still hold your capital and a clear mind.
