#美联储恢复降息进程 At the very beginning, I was so focused on the market that my heart raced and my palms were sweaty. Now? The numbers in my account steadily climb, earning over a million a month is no longer a dream.

Don't get me wrong, I'm neither a trading genius with extraordinary talent nor am I particularly lucky. What truly turned my situation around were those moments in the dead of night when I was on the brink of collapse yet gritted my teeth and pushed through—forcing myself to distill my blood, sweat, and tears into a set of methods. To be honest, this approach is simple enough for anyone to learn, but the difficult part is how many people can truly stick with it.

It pulled me out of the mire. If you're also being tormented by the market, it might help you.

**Surviving is more important than anything else**

$ETH If you look at those who have truly made a lot of money, you will find a commonality—they are all still alive. Sounds like a cliché? But how many people can't even get past this point.

My approach is quite foolish: with a principal of 100,000, I move a maximum of 10,000 each time, keeping the total position within 20%. If a single loss reaches 2,000 (which is 2% of the total capital), I immediately cut losses and exit without any negotiation. As for leverage? Newbies shouldn't touch it at all, and even veterans should keep it within 10 times. Just this rule alone can help you survive longer than 80% of people in the market.

**Focus on one direction, don't mess around**

The market never rewards those who are the busiest; it only recognizes who did it right.

I only focus on one direction - either go long or go short, never bet on both sides at the same time. This way, the win rate clearly increases. Before entering the market, set the stop loss at 3% and the take profit at 5%, and then rely entirely on mechanical execution; hands are more useful than the brain. Here's a fun fact: the win rate is highest for the first two trades of the day, and going long will actually make things worse because performance declines.

**Don't step on these pitfalls, they are all lessons learned the hard way**

Add to your position against the trend? Don't do it. If you top up your position once, the risk triples directly; many people end up losing because of this. High-frequency trading is also a big pitfall, as the fees can eat up 30% to 50% of your profits, making it simply not worth it. And the most fatal aspect—turning unrealized gains into losses. How many people have ended up receiving a margin call because they kept thinking "just wait a little longer."

**Two paths, two outcomes**

With the same principal of 100,000, the differences in gameplay are extraordinary.

The wrong way: fully invested with 10x leverage, averaging down the cost when it drops, and finally holding until liquidation and a total loss.

That's right: use 20,000 as the base capital, strictly set a 3% stop loss and a 5% take profit, and only pick high win-rate opportunities twice a week. The result? An average monthly return of 8%, with an annualized compound return reaching 151%.

**Remember the three dos and three don'ts**

Use spare money, don't touch living expenses; enforce discipline, don't be soft-hearted; fight unilaterally, don't sit on the fence. Don't go all in, don't stubbornly hold onto positions, don't block both ends.

Contracts are not a casino; they are a sieve. Only a few can stay in the long term— but if you really follow this method honestly, the next one to come out might be you.
