Traders with less than 2000U principal, I have to be honest:
Your top priority now isn't getting rich overnight, but surviving.
I know a trading buddy who started with 1800U and坚持了半年,做到8.8W U,从未爆仓过. The secret isn't some trick, just three principles: being simple is clumsy, but extremely safe.
**First Principle: Money Must Be Split**
Full position trading, in plain terms, is suicide.
Divide 1800U into three parts without debate: - 600U for day trading, one trade per day, no greed, no impatience - 600U dedicated to swing trading, only one move every ten days or half a month - 600U for risk management, in case of big loss, at least have capital to try again
Never press the full position button even in death.
**Second Principle: Only Eat the Juiciest Meat**
Avoid sideways markets; they are the easiest way to lose money. 80% of losses happen here.
No clear direction? Then stay out of the market and wait. Better to earn less than to lose blindly. Only trade when the trend is very clear.
Remember this important rule: Markets change every day, but your life only has one.
**Third Principle: Write Rules in Stone, Kill Emotions**
- Set stop-loss at 2%, as normal as eating - When profit reaches 4%, immediately cut your position in half - When overall account profit exceeds 20% of principal, withdraw 30% - When losing, never add to your position
This last rule is the reason 90% of people can't turn things around. No gambling, no holding, and don’t dream of "pulling it back."
And the result? That buddy’s account now has over 100,000U. More importantly, he no longer stays up late watching the charts. Just five minutes a day to check the levels, then he’s done.
Want to turn things around? Remember this: as long as your principal is alive, you have the right to talk about doubling.
Diversify risk, wait for the right moment, control your fire—these things may not be exciting or glamorous, but they can save you years of unnecessary detours.
Want quick gains? Actually, the fastest way in trading is to slow down first.

You're not wrong; going all-in is just asking for death. That's exactly how I did it—my account blew up twice before I understood.

That makes sense; people who are fully invested really deserve to lose.

To be honest, I've seen too many people fall into the trap of full positions; indeed, you have to survive first to have a chance.

That's right, not holding onto positions is the true way; those who honestly diversify their holdings end up laughing last.

Oh man, this guy is so right. Going all-in is really a suicidal move.
It sounds simple, but most people just can't do it. Everyone is just thinking about turning things around in one shot.

All the full positions are dead, and those who are alive are diversifying. No matter how many times this truth is told, no one listens.

Those who are fully invested deserve to be struck by five thunderbolts from the heavens—this is no exaggeration.

Starting from 6k to over 100,000, this guy really held it together. I have to say, with this level of discipline, he has already beaten 90% of people.

That's right, full position is basically asking for death; diversification is necessary.
I've seen many people add to their positions after losses, and they all end up badly.
This trading approach is indeed slow, but staying alive is the hard truth.
As long as the principal stays alive, there's hope for doubling, no problem.
Compared to getting rich overnight, I just want to live steadily now.
90% of people can't turn things around because they keep adding to their positions. Really, this trap is too big.
Avoid trading during sideways markets; I need to remember this, it's too easy to cut into losses.
Five minutes a day—that's the proper way to trade, right?
A 2% stop-loss is as routine as eating; it sounds simple, but nobody can actually do it.
The biggest fear with small capital is going all-in in one shot; this harsh reality.
Only eating the fat, not the bones—that sounds easy in theory but hard to implement in practice.
Dividing the capital into three parts is a good idea; at least there's a backup plan now.
