Recently, a trading account grew from 7,000U to 210,000U within 43 days. Many people's first reaction is that it was luck or that the trader is a trading genius. But in reality, it's quite the opposite — this is the result after experiencing a deep drawdown and thoroughly understanding oneself.

At that time, the account was only left with 7,000U, and my mindset had been shattered. It was precisely because of this lesson that I abandoned the illusion of doubling quickly and started doing only one thing: strictly controlling my position sizes.

I set a few hard rules for myself, and I never break them: funds must be split up, each trade only uses a fixed small position, never go all-in, and never add leverage impulsively. No matter how tempting the market looks — always keep enough reserve in the account. This way, even if the price fluctuates wildly, your mindset remains intact.

The logic of take-profit and stop-loss is equally straightforward: set a stop-loss first, strictly control losses within a range; once the expected profit is reached, exit decisively — don’t fantasize that the price will keep rising. The win rate doesn’t need to be particularly high; maintaining around 60% is enough. As long as you rely on a stable win rate, enough trades, and ironclad discipline, your capital will naturally grow.

This is not luck from a few market moves, but a process that can be repeatedly verified and sustainably replicated. Looking closely at those accounts that blew up, most people didn’t get the direction wrong — they died because of losing control of their positions. Today full leverage, tomorrow adding more leverage — one mistake can wipe out all the hard-earned gains.

I never bet on winning or losing against the market; I only compete with myself on execution. Every trade is made according to discipline, with no exceptions. From 7,000U to 210,000U, it’s really just a matter of accumulating trade by trade.
