Recently received many messages, all asking the same question: How to survive in this brutal market with little principal? How can I turn things around?

I remembered a student I mentored last year, and he gave me an answer. His initial account was only 1200U, and after three months, it steadily grew to 36,000U. He never touched those heart-pounding hundredfold contracts; he simply followed discipline and repeated the process like a machine. This is not luck, but the power of method.

**Divide your money into three parts, each with different tasks**

Split 1200U into three equal parts, 400U each, and do your own thing with each. The first part is for intraday short-term trading; sell as soon as it gains 3%, never greedily aiming for more. The second part waits for opportunities, only entering when there's at least a 15% certainty; pass on uncertain markets directly. The last part is for locking in profits, serving as a life-saving trump card—no matter how tempting the market, don’t touch it. Many people think dividing positions is cowardly, but actually, it’s the opposite—this is the secret to always having chips to keep playing.

**Learn to keep your mouth shut; it’s more valuable than learning technical skills**

There’s a strange phenomenon in this market: 80% of the time, it’s spent in boring sideways consolidation. The smartest move during that time is to do nothing, just sit back and watch others lose money. The real opportunity to act is when the main upward wave arrives. After entering the market? When floating profits reach 25%, take some profits off the table to prevent the gains from flying away. Let the remaining position follow the trend and grow on its own.

**Three ironclad rules, more effective than any indicator**

1. Never lose more than 2% of the total principal on a single trade; trigger a stop-loss immediately—no negotiations, no bargaining.
2. Take half of the profits when it reaches 5%, and immediately set a stop-loss on the remaining position to ensure profits grow safely.
3. Don’t try to average down on losing positions; that road leads straight to liquidation.

The secret to turning small funds around is simple—it's not about rushing recklessly, but about steady and disciplined trading. By dividing your positions, following the trend, and sticking to discipline, even the smallest principal can gradually grow into a big snowball.
