Many people entering the circle are aiming for overnight wealth. I'll be straightforward: if you want to turn things around, the first step isn't how much you earn, but learning not to gamble recklessly.

I started with just a few thousand USD, with no special status—just an ordinary market participant. But after years of grinding, my account has grown to over 50 million. The data is there; whether you believe it or not.

I'm never obsessed with how outrageous a single profit is; instead, I care more about whether each wave of the market is worth participating in. How to gradually grow your principal? Let me break down this methodology:

**Stage One: Break the Ice with Position Control**
Start with 1000U split into 5 parts, each 200U, operated independently. The key is to have clear stop-loss and take-profit points for each trade. No chasing after trades, no stubbornly holding onto losses, no betting against the trend—only engage with opportunities you understand. This stage is about cultivating trading discipline.

**Stage Two: Incremental Position Scaling with Profit**
Once the account reaches 10,000U, control each position to about 25% of the total funds. When the trend is favorable, I add to positions in batches, aiming to ride the middle golden rise. The key is to follow the trend, not to gamble on reversals.

**Stage Three: Regular Lock-in Profits and Withdrawals**
After surpassing 200,000U, I switch to weekly partial profit-taking and withdrawals. It’s not because I fear losses, but because I understand a principle: stable long-term gains are far more real than a one-time gamble.

Most common routines for blowing up accounts are fixed: chaotic position management, never setting stop-losses, correctly predicting the direction but dying because of unwillingness to admit losses. Any one of these issues is enough to cause a blow-up.

I have a friend who copies trades, starting from 900U and sticking to 18,000U. Recently, he just completed a withdrawal, and he was so excited he couldn’t sleep at midnight. We talked for a long time, watching him transform from a retail trader into a methodical trader. The growth in mindset is truly more meaningful than the numbers on the ledger.

Those who can’t survive in the circle are often not because they misjudge the direction, but because they fail in execution and mindset. If you want to turn things around, instead of chasing hot trends, it’s better to first master risk management.
