#美联储重启降息步伐 From 1,500U to 50,000U, it took a full 30 days. But the real turning point wasn’t catching the right direction at some point; it was the moment, staring at my losing account late one night, that I suddenly realized—the market never owes me a fortune.

That initial 1,500U was all I had left after repeatedly getting slapped by the market. That’s when I made a decision: split the principal into five parts. Each time, I’d only use 300U to open a position. Chose the wrong direction? If I lose half, that’s just 150U—cut losses and exit immediately. This dumb method let me experience for the first time that surviving is a thousand times more important than making fast money.

Later, I gradually worked out a strict set of rules: always set stop-loss and take-profit in advance, execute them once triggered, and don’t get emotional about the market. The win rate was just over 50%, but the key was I lost little each time and earned steadily. Each single profit was unremarkable, but it added up, one trade after another. After three months, compound interest started to kick in, and my principal snowballed from four digits to five digits.

Looking back, only two things supported all of this: rules and discipline.

What really causes people to blow up their accounts is never how dangerous the market is, but those flaws in human nature that never seem to go away—impulsive trades, stubbornly holding onto losses, greedily adding positions, and fantasizing about reversals. Want to survive in this market? Start by quitting those habits.

If you’re on the right track, even small capital has a chance to come back; if you’re on the wrong track, no amount of money can survive a few rounds of turmoil. It’s never too late to start—as long as you first learn to be tough on yourself.
