From 3600U to 36000U: My Three Trading Survival Rules
I once witnessed a friend grow his account from 3600U to 36000U in three months with only the remaining 3600U. He did not rely on any mysterious code, but strictly followed a set of "underlying trading discipline" that I refined with him. If you also wish to move steadily through volatility, the following three rules might be just what you need.
1. The three-part fund method: Never fire all your bullets.
He divided 3600U into three equal parts, each part being 1200U, and assigned a clear mission to each portion of the funds:
· Short-term flexible positions: Up to two trades per day, with strict stop-loss settings, aimed at maintaining market sensitivity and profiting from price fluctuations.
· Core trend position: Only take action when a clear upward trend appears at the weekly level; otherwise, be patient and wait. The so-called "No rabbit, no hawk."
· Emergency reserve fund: This is your "undying gold medal", used only for quick recovery when your account is liquidated, ensuring you always stay at the table.
Please remember: going all in is equivalent to cutting off your own escape route. In the market's meat grinder, losing a finger allows you to continue fighting, but losing your head means the game is over.
2. Trading Trigger Mechanism: Replace Impulse with Rules
My system has no "feelings", only clear startup signals:
· Opening position conditions: When the daily moving average system has not formed a bullish arrangement, maintain a firm empty position. Only when the price breaks through the previous high with increased volume, and the daily line confirms the closing, will the first opening position be executed.
· Exit strategy: When the profit from a single transaction reaches 30% of the principal, immediately withdraw half of the profit to secure it, and set a 10% trailing stop loss on the remaining portion to protect the realized profit.
The market will never lack opportunities, just as there will never be a shortage of buses in the city. If you miss one, patiently wait for the next; blindly chasing after it will only put you in danger.
3. Emotion Locking Technique: Write down your "trading death certificate"
Before pressing the confirm button, write down this unchangeable instruction in black and white:
· A 5% automatic stop loss is set upon entry, and must be executed if triggered, with no room for negotiation.
· When profits reach 10%, immediately move the stop-loss to the cost price. After that, this trade will either break even or let the profits run.
Final Thoughts
From 3600U to 36000U, it's not just the account balance that has grown, but also your ability to "make fewer mistakes." The market is never short of opportunities; what's lacking is the capital that is always present. First, let these three iron rules sink into your blood before you study those complex indicators and waves.
In this market, wealth does not belong to the fastest runners, but to those who live the longest and maintain the strictest discipline. Your next opportunity is in the next moment of discipline execution.
