Two weeks ago, I was still struggling in the quagmire of liquidation, and in just a few days, I lost fifty thousand yuan.

Two weeks later, my account balance suddenly jumped to one hundred thousand yuan.

You might think I got lucky, but honestly, this time it’s not luck—it's that I finally had an epiphany.

It's not that my skills suddenly improved, but that I learned not to mess around blindly.

The first change I made was dividing my money into three parts: an offensive account, a defensive account, and a dead-hold account.

Many people understand the concept of splitting accounts, but few truly grasp the purpose—dividing your funds isn't to make you earn more aggressively, but to prevent you from recklessly messing around.

The offensive account takes up 30%, specifically for catching short-term fluctuations that I completely understand.

The defensive account accounts for 40%, and I only trade when the trend is as clear as it can be.

The last 30%, I call it the "Dead-Hold Account"—this money stays in the account, and I absolutely do not touch it.

It won't make you get rich overnight, but it guarantees you won't go all the way broke. The first two parts are responsible for making money, and the last part is for survival. It's that simple.

The second change is even more radical: I no longer obsess over profits, but focus on minimizing losses.

Liquidation taught me a truth—big losses are never caused by the market, but by your unwillingness to admit defeat.

I set two ironclad rules for myself: a single loss cannot exceed 1.5% of the total funds; if I have two consecutive losses, I stop trading for the day immediately.

Some say this is too conservative and that profits come slowly. That's right, it’s slow. But slow means it's less likely to kill you. As long as you're still at the trading table, opportunities are always more than you think.

In the past, I would get overly excited when I was profitable, thinking about doubling my gains, but a mere correction would wipe out all the floating profits. Making money is never about doing more, but about doing it better.

Most people aren't bad at making money; they just get too eager, too desperate to turn things around quickly, and too easily lose control.

Markets are always there, but whether you can participate steadily depends entirely on whether you have your own rhythm. If you haven't figured it out yet, better to pause and think first.
