Watching people around me get liquidated one after another and leave the market, I find myself living more and more steadily. It’s not some extraordinary talent, just choosing the right approach.

Last year at the same time, a friend’s account only had 2800U left. I was laughing at him then, thinking he was delusional and that a comeback was hopeless. But three months later, his account had grown to 68,000U, and he hadn’t been liquidated even once during that period. This really touched me.

I’ve seen too many people who start with just a few thousand U in capital, dreaming of a million overnight, and what’s the result? They disappear in less than two weeks. It’s not that the market doesn’t give opportunities, but that they are crushed by false expectations. What I want to say isn’t some secret to get rich quick — that doesn’t exist — but how to survive in this market and move forward steadily.

**Divide your money clearly, don’t gamble everything at once**

The first piece of advice I gave my friend was: split the 2800U into four parts, each 700U, with clear tasks for each, and never mix them up.

The first part is for short-term trading, but with strict rules — no more than two trades per day. The second part only trades when a clear weekly trend emerges. The third part is emergency funds, used specifically for adding to positions and self-rescue. The last part is idle, always ensuring the ability to enter the market.

It’s like climbing a mountain. Don’t just stare at the summit all day; focus on walking the path right in front of you. When you make 1000U, don’t think about jumping straight to a million. First, figure out how to steadily reach 2000U. Many people go all-in at the start, rushing in with full positions, and when the market jitters a little, their capital is gone, and the opportunity is lost. Protecting your capital = protecting your hope of turning things around.

I still stick to this habit. Whether my account has 5000U or 50,000U, the funds must always be categorized clearly and transparently.

**Only make money from markets you understand**

I never waste energy on choppy, oscillating markets. Those kinds of volatile movements drain both your mindset and your capital. Instead of entangling yourself, wait until the weekly trend is clear before taking action.
