Many people ask me how I turned a small principal of 2,000U into 60,000U in 43 days. Honestly, this is not about luck, nor is it some black tech trading secret. The bottom line is—survive, then keep making profits.

When I first started, I made a fatal mistake. I had only 2,000U in my account, all in one trade. As a result, after one wave, my capital shrank by nearly half. At that moment, I realized that if I kept playing like this, I wouldn’t even last a month with this amount of money.

**How should I allocate this 2,000U to survive longer?**

I divided the money into 5 parts, each 400U. Sounds conservative? But that’s the clever part—each time, I only use one part to trade, while the other four parts stay on standby. The benefit of this approach is that even if one trade fails, I still have 92% of my capital remaining. These four "bullets" allow me to keep participating in the market instead of being knocked out by a single unexpected event.

**How do I set stop-loss and take-profit?**

For each trade, my stop-loss is fixed at 3%. You do the math—3% of 400U is 12U. This means the maximum loss I can tolerate on a single trade is just that much. Sounds small? Conversely, this guarantees I won’t suffer huge losses from a wrong market judgment.

For take-profit, I set it between 6% and 10%. I close the position once I make at least 24U on 400U. Many people don’t understand this logic—they think, why take such a small profit and run? But think about it: over 43 days, I executed about 70 trades with an 80% win rate. When you add it all up, the power of compound interest generated by small gains is truly terrifying.

**Discipline is more important than anything**

During this period, I strictly followed three rules:

First, stop-loss must be executed without exception. Never hold onto a position thinking, "As long as I don’t break even, I haven’t lost." That kind of thinking has caused many to fail.

Second, once the take-profit level is reached, close the position. Many traders fall here—they hold onto a position close to the take-profit point, greedily hoping for a little more gain. When the market turns, profits are quickly wiped out, and they may even end up losing. My principle is simple: if it’s time to exit, do it.

Third, only trade the strategies you are familiar with. Opportunities are everywhere in the market, but you can’t catch them all. Focus your energy on the trading logic you’ve repeatedly tested and understand deeply; your success rate will be much higher.

**The market never lacks opportunities**

Honestly, from 2,000U to 60,000U, I’ve encountered many good market conditions and also suffered a few big losses. But the key isn’t what kind of market I faced; it’s that no matter what, I survived and kept participating in the next round. Many traders fail midway—losing their capital, exiting the game, and missing out on future opportunities.

The ultimate rule of this game is to survive long enough. The longer you survive, the more good opportunities you will encounter. When you can keep your win rate above 80% on each trade and control your risk within manageable limits, the rest is up to time and compound interest.

So rather than calling this just a trading story, it’s more like a lesson on account survival. Position management, risk control, disciplined execution—these seemingly dull aspects are actually the real factors that determine how far you can go.
