Never get into a fight with the market; it has more patience than you do.

Two months ago, late at night, I received a trembling voice message. A fan named Xiao Yang said his account only had 4600U left — his "last card" after saving and scrimping. He had previously followed a so-called expert and impulsively traded contracts, losing over 50,000U in three months, and was almost unable to pay his rent.

Looking at the pitiful screenshot of his account, I thought to myself, sympathy at this point is useless. What he needs is not comfort, but a set of truly life-saving methods.

I gave him a somewhat "rustic" idea: divide the 4600U into 10 parts, each 460U. This is the maximum loss he can tolerate per trade. Enter the first trade with a small position, take profit at 25%, then close the position — no bargaining.

He later told me, "My hands were trembling at the time, always thinking it could go higher. But I gritted my teeth and sold. Seeing 460U turn into 575U, I suddenly felt much more at ease."

In this way, relying on four ironclad "rules" ingrained in his bones, he gradually grew from 4600U to over 200,000U. Today I share these experiences with you, hoping to give you some inspiration.

**Iron Rule 1: Strict Stop-Loss, Don’t Argue with the Market**

The biggest trap for beginners is "waiting for a rebound before selling," which results in deeper and deeper losses. I set a strict rule for Xiao Yang: never lose more than 5% per trade. For a 460U position, if it drops to 437U, you must close the position.

Once, he was reluctant and asked if he could wait a bit longer. I told him directly to set his stop-loss line in the most visible place on the screen, and said: If you don’t execute the stop-loss, you are gambling with your life. The market’s patience will always outlast yours.
