Trading is a form of practice; I’ve summarized my experience gained from real money into three hardcore principles to share with everyone:

1️⃣ The unbreakable rule: Strict stop-loss + never add to a losing position
Always set a stop-loss before opening a position; execute immediately when the price hits, with no hesitation.
A stop-loss is not admitting defeat; it’s protecting your capital and saving bullets for the next trade.
Not setting a stop-loss or going all-in is the root cause of most account blow-ups I’ve seen. I now treat this as an iron law and never violate it.
2️⃣ Upgrading trading awareness
The most important lesson is: making money is never about prediction, but about execution and position management.
I now only allocate 15%-20% of my total capital per trade, strictly dividing into batches (up to 4).
This way, I can hold steady when the market starts moving and stay emotionally stable to add positions during pullbacks.
No matter how good the market is, without proper position management, you’ll only make small profits or end up giving back gains.
3️⃣ Advice to my beginner self
“Don’t rush to open large positions!
In the first three months, only use 20% of your capital to practice, and spend 80% of your time learning position management, trading psychology, and daily review.
The market is always there; longevity is the biggest alpha. Remember: controlling risk is always more important than chasing returns.”
The essence of trading is a battle with yourself—those with stronger discipline and fewer mistakes will survive longer and earn more.
