I am not a trading instructor, nor do I have any courses to sell. What I have left on the Candlestick Chart are all lessons learned the hard way.
Last year, a friend of mine approached me with 2700U, wanting to recoup his losses. I didn't talk about any technical indicators; instead, I directly shared three survival rules that I had learned from my own losses. He followed them diligently for three months and grew his account to 50,000U, without a single liquidation during that time. Today, I'm laying these out for you, and how much you can absorb depends on how tough you are on yourself.
**Rule 1: The principal must be divided into three parts**
I forcibly divided that 2700U into three parts, each 900U, with each having its own tasks, and no one can overstep the line:
The short-term position is responsible for intraday fluctuations - at most two trades a day, with quick entries and exits, don't stare at the screen and mess up your mindset.
The trend position only benefits from significant market movements - remain calm and hold your assets before the weekly bullish arrangement is established, and play dead before a strong breakout above the previous high. In a volatile market, making random moves is just giving the exchange transaction fees.
The survival fund is the last line of defense—when a black swan suddenly arrives, having the margin replenished in time is what allows you to survive until the next opening.
This logic is brutal: without capital, you can't even play the game. Most of those who shouted "all in" are now out.
**Article 2: Only move in trends, remain still in consolidations**
I spent ten years learning one thing - all nine of my cut losses died in volatile markets. Later, I believed in one dead principle:
The daily chart hasn't formed a bullish pattern, and staying in cash is not a mistake. "Missing the market" won't cause the account to explode, but blindly chasing highs will.
The volume breaks through the previous high, and the daily line closes steadily. Only then do I dare to enter a small position.
When the profit reaches 30% of the principal, first take out half of the profit to cash in, and set a trailing stop for the rest to let it run on its own. The water in the river can never be scooped up completely, but the profit in the bowl is what truly belongs to you.
**Article 3: Mindset Management Determines Life and Death**
The biggest enemy in trading is not the market, but yourself. When the market fluctuates up and down, greed will make you chase the highs, and fear will make you cut your losses. Both emotions will send your account to the incinerator.
I have seen too many people turn their accounts from thousands to hundreds of thousands, only to collapse back to a few hundred. It's not because they don't know how to trade, but because their mindset exploded after making money.
So the most important thing is: once you set the rules, do not change them casually. Don't increase your position out of frustration when you're losing, and don't be greedy and chase after orders when you're making money. Trading is like maintaining health - it requires regularity, restraint, and a long-term perspective.
The market is best at punishing those who are unconvinced. The moment your principal disappears, you are completely out. Those who still want to survive must exchange their blood for a new way of living. Can you do it?

Detail-oriented to the extreme, just afraid the account goes down the wrong path, these three points really seem fine.
The three-part method is indeed ruthless, those who went all in are probably living in regret now.
That's right, the things learned over ten years are indeed worth much more than those suckers courses online.
The key is the mindset, making money can actually lead to easier breakdowns; I've seen too many return to square one overnight.

These three points really hit the nail on the head, especially the phrase "most all in people have exited now".
I can relate to the feeling that making money can lead to a blown mindset; I've seen too many people take heavy positions to chase the price and then return to square one overnight.
Although it sounds like a cliché, very few can truly execute a three-part position; most still want to gamble on a big win.
That fren who went from 2700 to 50,000 and then got liquidated is really ruthless; I just can't understand why some people insist on going all in.
Take profit is much harder than stop loss, and that's a valid point.

The three-point method is indeed ruthless, but I'm afraid that my mental preparation is insufficient during execution.
I need to suffer more losses to truly believe in staying put during fluctuations.
Taking out half when earning 30% sounds simple, but it's really greedy when it comes to execution.
There are indeed very few who go all in and make it to the end; I've seen too many.
This is why most people end up cutting losses and exiting.
A shattered mindset is truly fatal; it's scarier than being technically inferior.
I'm the kind of person who wants to increase my position after making a little profit, and I haven't figured it out yet.
The rules are simple, but the number of people who can stick to them is few.
