In one month, I climbed from 1,500U to 50,000U—this isn’t some kind of voodoo; it’s the result of my decision that day to stop being cannon fodder.
When my account was wiped out to just 1,500U, I was completely numb. But it was also that day that I set an iron rule for myself: from then on, I would only make trades that allowed me to survive—the dream of getting rich quick would have to wait.
**First, let’s talk about survival.** I split my principal into 5 parts, using only 300U each time. If I made the wrong call? I’d cut my losses at 150U and get out immediately. That was the first time I truly understood: if you can’t survive, making money is just a joke.
**Next is discipline.** Set take-profit and stop-loss orders in advance, stick to them, and don’t look back. Others rely on belief—I rely only on execution. Each single profit wasn’t huge, but every trade moved me forward.
**Finally, treat trading like a business.** Don’t bet on direction, just play the probabilities. My win rate was just a bit over 50%, but the key was to lose little and win steadily. After three months, my principal slowly snowballed. Once compounding kicked in, that’s how 1,500U grew to 50,000U.
What got me here wasn’t luck, but just four words: **rules + execution**.
What truly destroys people isn’t the market—it’s impulse, stubbornness, greed, and fantasy. Want to turn things around? Fix these flaws first.
If you’re heading in the right direction, small money can snowball into big money; if not, no amount of capital is enough to cover your losses. It’s never too late for a fresh start.

That's quite right. Most people don't really understand the importance of execution. The difference between making money and losing money often comes down to a single thought.

Well said, but the fear is knowing it and still not being able to do it.

Simply put, staying alive is more important than making money. This guy has figured it out.

That's right, survival comes first; stubbornly holding on will only accelerate bankruptcy.
