Can 200 bucks turn things around? Yes! But the premise is simple—don't kill yourself in the process.
A friend once came to me with only 1200U left. I didn't give any fancy theories or specific tips, just laid out three unshakable rules. He followed them diligently for 90 days, and not a single margin call happened. His account skyrocketed to 50,000. Today, I’m sharing this method exactly as it is with everyone.
**Rule 1: Funds must be divided into separate accounts; never combine everything into one**
Split your principal into three parts, manage each independently, and don’t transfer funds between them. The first part is for short-term trading—at most two trades per day, take profits and exit, don’t be greedy. The second part is for trend trading—wait for weekly bullish confirmation before acting; if no opportunity, stay out and wait. The third part is for survival—specifically to handle black swan events. If the first two accounts encounter issues, you can still keep playing.
**Rule 2: Only ride the most profitable trend segments, keep quiet the rest of the time**
Range-bound markets are like bloodsuckers; reckless moves are just giving money to the market. If the daily moving averages haven’t formed a bullish trend? Stay out. Only enter after a volume breakout above previous highs and daily close confirmation. When profits reach 30% of your principal, cash out half immediately. Use a 10% trailing stop on the remaining position to let the market do the work. The goal isn’t to prove how skilled you are, but to genuinely put profits into your pocket.
**Rule 3: Lock your emotions completely, only do mechanical operations**
Before entering a trade, write a trading plan. Set a stop-loss at 3%, and once triggered, close the position automatically—no messing around. When profits hit 10%, move your stop-loss to break-even, and let the rest run. Close your computer promptly at 11 PM, no matter how tempting the candles look. If you can’t sleep, uninstall the trading software. The trading should be mechanical to an extreme, so steady it’s almost frightening.
Honestly, from 1200U to 50,000U, it’s not about advanced techniques but about making fewer mistakes. Market opportunities are everywhere every day, but once your principal is gone, it’s really gone. Only those who are alive have the right to talk about making money; those who get wiped out are just transaction fees in someone else’s trading record.

The split position system really works better than any technical indicator.

Well said, the core is that as long as you're alive, there's hope

Honestly, it's still about mindset. I really can't stick to even one-tenth of these three principles.

That's right, as long as you're alive, there's hope
