Last year, a brother came to me, holding his last 1200U, asking if there was still a chance to turn things around. I immediately gave him three pieces of advice — three months later, his account was sitting at 50,000U, and he hadn’t been liquidated once during that time. Today, I’m sharing this life-saving strategy; how much you get out of it depends entirely on your own luck.

**First Rule: Money should be divided into three pockets, don’t go all-in at once**

Split the 1200U into three parts, each 400U, each with its own role, strictly no crossover:

• **Quick Knife**: 400U dedicated to short-term trades, at most two trades per day, then stop. Don’t be greedy; just aim for sharp, decisive moves.

• **Wait-and-See**: 400U only waiting for a strong trend. If the weekly chart isn’t bullish? Then pretend to be dead. No activity, no shots fired.

• **Life Insurance**: The last 400U is your safety fuse. If your position gets blown up? Immediately top up to keep yourself in the game, ensuring you can keep playing at the table.

All-in betting? Dream on. Liquidation is like losing fingers; you can still use your fingers, but if your head’s gone, it’s truly over.

**Second Rule: Only eat the fattiest meat, learn patience like a turtle**

Choppy markets are like a meat grinder; going in ten times, you’ll get chopped nine. My entry signals are very strict:

1. If the daily moving averages aren’t forming a bullish pattern? Then stay on the sidelines and soak up the sun.
2. Breakout with volume above previous high + daily close confirmation? That’s your first real buy signal.
3. Once profits reach 30% of your capital, take half off the table immediately. Leave the rest to trail with a 10% stop-loss to automatically exit.

The market isn’t short of trades; it’s short of people willing to wait. Don’t rush the door; catching a ride is enough.

**Third Rule: Keep emotions in the cage, just press the buttons**

Before entering a trade, write a "will":

• Stop-loss at 3%, automatically cut at the set time — no explanations, no hesitation.
• When you make 10%, immediately move your stop-loss to your cost price; anything earned after that is market’s gift.
• Shut down your computer at 11 PM sharp. Even if the candles look tempting, don’t look. If you can’t sleep, uninstall the app.

Mechanical, boring discipline is what keeps you alive long-term.

**Final dose of toxic chicken soup**

Turning 1200U into 50,000U isn’t about catching divine signals; it’s about "being less stupid." Markets are there every day, but your capital isn’t that easy to accumulate. Memorize these three rules first, then start pondering wave theories, Fibonacci, funding rates, and other fancy tricks...

Survive first, then talk about getting rich; if you can’t survive, you’re just someone else’s trading fee.
