60 days ago, there was 3200U lying in my account. That amount was barely enough to open a decent contract, let alone withstand market fluctuations. Watching the profit screenshots popping up continuously in the trading group, I turned off my phone and wrote the first line of my trading log in my notebook: not relying on luck, not chasing trends, only trading what I can understand.
My trading system is built on four iron rules, each one learned from previous losses:
Position management is the foundation of survival
No single trade exceeds 20% of total capital, even for opportunities that seem 100% certain. The market has a way of punishing any disbelief; after three consecutive stop losses, the account still retains capital for a counterattack.
Profit scaling is the engine of growth
Whenever the account increases by 30%, 40% of the profits are converted into new trading capital. Just like building blocks, the firmer the foundation, the higher you can stack. In the first week, a breakthrough from 3800U to 6200U was achieved, in the second week it reached the 1.2WU mark, and by the 45th day, it had touched 5.8WU.
The stop loss line is the lifeline
A preset hard stop loss line of 3%, exit immediately when touched without looking back. There was once a single trade where the stop loss was triggered and the market reversed, and everyone in the group lamented, but I was grateful to have preserved my position. Later, that wave of the market ultimately plummeted by 60%, leaving countless holders with nothing.
Trend trading is the only guide
Do not guess tops and bottoms, do not participate in choppy markets, only follow established trends. The market is in chaotic fluctuation 70% of the time, and the truly worthy opportunities often occur only three or four times a month.
In these 60 days, I've faced countless tests: sudden slippage due to overnight news, unexpected flash crashes on Friday nights, and seemingly perfect formations that suddenly fail. But strict discipline kept my account's drawdowns within 15% each time, ultimately charting a 45-degree upward curve.
In fact, the market's overall fluctuation over these 60 days was less than 20%. The real profits came from 22 consecutive small stop losses and 8 trend-following trades, maintaining a win-loss ratio above 3.5:1.
Trading ultimately is a battle against one's own greed and fear. Behind those seemingly cold numbers are countless moments of self-restraint when wanting to break the rules, timely profit-taking when facing inflated gains, and courage to persist in execution even during consecutive losses.
In the past, I stumbled alone in the dark; now the light is in my hands.
The light is always on, will you follow? @币来财888
