Is your principal still below 1500U? Hold back your desire to double your investment. I have to be honest with you: at this stage, the most important thing is not to get rich overnight, but to survive long enough so you don't become the next victim eliminated by the market.

I once mentored a friend who started with only 1200U. Over four months, he managed to grow it to 25,000U. He never got margin called once, nor did he fall into that frantic state of watching K-lines and losing sleep. His success wasn't due to luck but a straightforward, effective strategy.

**First Tip: You must split your positions; forget about full positions**

How to split 1200U? It's clear:

The first part is for intraday trading—only take the most confident opportunities, move only once a day;

The second part is for swing trading—waiting for the right wave, sometimes a week or more without a trade, making a move every ten or fifteen days isn’t unusual;

The last part is your safety net—only use it in extreme conditions, never touch it unless absolutely necessary, just to survive extreme market scenarios.

In simple terms: as long as your money is in your account, you always have a chance to turn things around. That’s the truth.

**Second Tip: Only trade high-confidence setups**

Choppy sideways markets? My advice is to stay away. Unclear trends? Don’t waste effort.

Stay out of the market waiting for opportunities—it's a hundred times better than forcing a trade.

You know what? Those 80% of accounts that end up bankrupt all have the same thought spinning in their heads: "It feels like it's about to go up." That one thought destroys many accounts.

**Third Tip: Rules written on paper always outweigh emotions in your mind**

Losing more than 2% on a single trade? Stop immediately—don’t hesitate, don’t wait for a rebound;

Floating profit reaching 4%? Take some off the table to lock in gains, let the rest run;

Total floating profit exceeding 20%? Withdraw some profits—don’t think about pushing further, just deposit the money safely;

When your account is losing money, don’t even consider adding to your position—that’s the main reason so many accounts plunge straight down.

Later, as his funds grew to 50,000U, something even better happened—he no longer had to wake up in the middle of the night to check the market, nor was he anxious over small fluctuations that kept him awake. Just a few minutes a day to review was enough.

Want to turn things around? First, learn to protect your principal.

Position splitting, waiting, controlling your pace—these may not sound as exciting as "full position chasing the pump," but because they are less thrilling, they help you avoid pitfalls and survive longer.
