Recently, a fren messaged me saying he only had 1200U left and asked if there was still a chance. I gave him a few suggestions at that time, and after three months, his account turned into over 500,000U, and he didn't get liquidated even once during that period.

To be honest, there’s nothing mystical about this matter; it’s just about doing what needs to be done correctly. Today, I’ve organized the things I discussed with him back then, and how much you can understand depends on your own fortune.

**First, let's talk about how to allocate funds**

Don't put all 1200U in one place, it needs to be split up. I had him divide it into three accounts, each with 400U, managing them separately:

The first account is specifically for short-term trading. Open at most two orders a day, and after finishing, take a break, don't be greedy. This money is just to make some quick cash, but you must not get carried away.

The second ledger is waiting for trends. Don’t act if you don’t see a clear direction; if the weekly chart is still bottoming out, just continue to wait. This money is meant for capturing big market movements, not for you to fiddle with every day.

The third ledger is the most crucial—it is specifically for handling unexpected events. If one day you truly overlook something, this money will give you a chance to turn things around. It’s like your backup parachute; it can save your life in critical moments.

Don't even think about using full margin. If you get liquidated once, all the profits you've made will be wasted, and you won't even have the right to sit at the table anymore.

**How to find opportunities again**

The volatile market is like a meat grinder, you get cut nine times out of ten. So my standard is very simple and brutal:

If the daily moving averages are still messy, then stay in cash and wait. Don't think it's boring; being able to resist the urge to act is a skill.

Wait until the volume breaks through the previous high, and the daily line confirms the close. Only then consider entering for the first time. Don’t rush; it’s better to be a step late than half a step early.

Once you earn 30% of your principal, immediately withdraw half to secure your profits. Set a 10% trailing stop-loss for the remaining amount to let the profits run.

The market always has the next train. It's okay to miss this one, but don't rush to catch it and fall into a ditch.

**Finally, let's talk about mindset**

Before entering the market, the rules must be set in stone:

Set the stop loss at 3%, cut it when it hits the point, there’s nothing to discuss. This is not being timid, it's discipline.

After making a 10% profit, pull the stop-loss point to the cost price. This way, the worst outcome is just having worked hard for nothing, but the principal is preserved. How much more can be earned later depends on whether the market gives face.

Turn off the computer at 11 PM every night. No matter how tempting the K-line is, don't stare at it. If you can't sleep, just uninstall the APP; out of sight, out of mind.

Sounds very mechanical, right? But it has to be boringly mechanical for you to survive in this market for a long time.

From 1200U to 500,000U, it's not about any magic trades, but rather about making fewer mistakes. The market changes every day, but once the principal is lost, it won't be easy to recover.

First, engrave these basic rules in your mind, then ponder those wave theories, Fibonacci retracements, and various technical indicators.

Surviving is the prerequisite to talk about getting rich. If you can't survive, you are just a contributor to someone else's transaction fees.
