Turning 1500 bucks into 240,000 sounds unbelievable? Actually, the secret is quite simple.

I spent a month figuring out three key principles. Some call it a dumb method, but it works like a charm.

**First: Learn to divide your funds**

When I received 1500U, I didn't just throw it all in at once. Instead, I split it into three parts:

500 for short-term trades, taking 3% to 5% profit and then exiting immediately. This is quick money, testing your execution and risk awareness.

Another 500 waiting for opportunities. I don't consider anything with less than 15% potential. This is patience money, testing your ability to endure boredom.

The remaining 500 is kept as a safety net. Even if the market crashes, I don’t touch it. This is lifesaving money, ensuring you always have a backup plan.

Look at how many people go all-in on the first day and disappear. Dividing your funds isn’t being timid; it’s about surviving longer.

**Second: Learn to be patient**

This is especially important. Most of the time, the market is sideways or oscillating, which is a waste of time to watch. Real profit opportunities come from the main upward trend.

Once you catch this trend? Take profits at 25%, then withdraw half. Let the rest continue to ride. The benefit of this approach is that you’ve already recovered your principal and can stay calm. No matter how volatile it gets later, you’ll have confidence.

My deepest insight is that while others are frantically cutting losses during oscillations, I simply turn off the software and do something else. When others are panicking and adding to their positions, I’ve already cut and taken a break.

**Third rule: Discipline above all**

Any single loss exceeding 2% must be cut immediately, no exceptions.

When you make 5%, close half of your position first, and set a breakeven stop-loss for the rest to let it run.

The most fatal mistake is averaging down. It sounds professional, but in reality, it’s digging yourself deeper into the hole. Losing a position is losing it; trying to turn it around only makes things worse.

In the past two weeks, what I’ve done most is wait. Wait for the trend to emerge, wait for clear signals, wait for opportunities to mature. With small funds, the key isn’t to be aggressive but to be steady. Use position sizing to survive, follow the trend to make real money, and use discipline to lock in profits.

If a few hundred U’s of fluctuation keeps you awake, the problem isn’t the market; it’s your method.

Remember this: 1500 can turn into 24,000, but 24,000 can also instantly become zero. The difference lies in whether you have the patience to stick to those simple rules.
