Why do most people lose money? Because they gamble with heavy positions. Think the other way around—being light on positions and staying alive is the first step.
**First Step, Stay Alive** Don’t be greedy with the first trade. With a 1000U account, open with 200-300U, with a maximum of 500U as the ceiling. Keep drawdowns within 20%, liquidation means game over, no comeback. Everyone wants to double quickly, but those who wipe out their accounts want to double even more.
**Second Step, Only Take High-Probability Trades** Don’t just buy when bullish and short when bearish. Look for opportunities with support and resistance levels, aligned with the main trend, with a minimum risk-reward ratio of 2:1. Doing 10 trades a month and only winning 3 is better than doing 3 trades and losing money; a steady account curve speaks volumes.
**Third Step, Set Stop-Losses in Advance** Never change them on the fly—that accelerates losses. Keep risk per trade at 5%-7% of the account (for a 1000U account, that’s 50-70U). Strong execution is enough for this rule.
**Fourth Step, Small Gains Add Up** Short-term targets of 30-50 points, medium to long-term targets of 80-150 points. Take profits at a 3:1 risk-reward ratio and exit, don’t wait for the perfect top. The longer the time, the more variables.
**Fifth Step, When the Account Grows, Accelerate** When reaching 3000U, increase position size to 800-1000U, upgrade risk control to 3%-5%, and keep drawdowns within 15%. Sharpen your tools—small accounts must be frugal.
**Sixth Step, Take Profits When Doubling** From 1000U to 3000U, take out 500U as profit. This isn’t conservatism; it’s locking in gains. When the account has no pressure, you can make clearer decisions. Only those who stay alive get the chance to double again.
Rooted for 30 days to master this process—whether your account doubles or not isn’t the point, but whether you can see if you’re cut out for this.

To be honest, the first step already causes many people to get stuck
---
I agree with the phrase "Live with a small position," but very few people actually follow through
---
Setting a stop-loss properly is crucial; 99% of people can't do it. They get itchy at the first pullback
---
Being frugal with small accounts is the right approach; the metaphor "Sharpening the axe won't delay chopping wood" is perfect
---
The most challenging step is doubling and withdrawing profits; only a few can truly do it
---
In 30 days, you can see if you're cut out for this; rather than making money, it's about psychological resilience
---
Starting with a risk-reward ratio of 2:1 is acceptable, but where are all the good opportunities in the market?
---
From 1000 to 3000, then taking out 500, this is the mark of a long-term winner

That's so true, being alive is the first lesson of being a winner.

Stop-loss is truly a life-and-death line; so many people ruin themselves by changing orders at the last moment.
