Going from 100U to 50kU—what truly changed me isn’t the technology!

On my first time doing contracts, I only had 100U. I thought making money depended on courage. Later I realized I was also losing money because I was too bold with my positions. If you gave me 100U again now, I wouldn’t be panicking at all.

But during my first time doing contracts, I felt that 100U was enough to let me turn things around. In my first profitable trade, I made more than 30U.

I was so excited I couldn’t sleep the whole night. I thought making money was that simple—just be bold enough, and you could quickly build up your account. Reality slapped me fast. The next day, all the profit got given back. On the third day, to make the loss back, I started increasing my position size and raising leverage. Then—one piercing move and my account was wiped to zero.

In that moment, I didn’t blame the market. I just felt unwilling. I thought it was just bad luck; if I added some more funds, I would definitely get it back. Later, I kept topping up—100U, 200U, 500U… Every time I kept telling myself that this time would be more stable. But the result was still the same. I would start fantasizing about doubling as soon as I made a little. And when I lost a bit, I couldn’t bear to cut losses—I kept thinking the market would come back.

Every day I watched the candlestick chart for a dozen-plus hours. From morning to night, my phone was on. My emotions were completely driven by the market. When my account hit the lowest point, I was left with only a few dozen U.

During that time, I started doubting whether I was even suited for trading. Later, I didn’t keep adding funds—I stopped. I dug out all my past trade records and replayed everything, one trade at a time. Only then did I realize that the money I truly lost wasn’t because I misread the market.

It was because I chased orders, held onto positions, traded too frequently, and refused to admit I was wrong. The market was always there. The real thing that was out of control was me.

After that, I set a few very simple rules for myself: no plan, no entry. If the trend isn’t clear, don’t trade. Every trade has a stop loss—I will never stubbornly hold. If I have consecutive losses, I rest—I don’t trade with emotions.

At first, executing these rules was really hard. Seeing others make money made me want to rush in. Watching the market surge and crash made me want to go in too. But the more I went through it, the more I understood: I didn’t lose money because there were too few opportunities. I lost money because I made too many moves.

Later, I started accepting being in cash (no position). I accepted missing trades. I accepted stop losses. The growth speed of my account wasn’t as fast as before, but it became more and more stable.

From tens of U to hundreds of U; from hundreds of U to thousands of U; and then slowly crossing into a five-figure account. What truly changed me wasn’t learning how many indicators, and it wasn’t finding some “guaranteed strategy” that always works.

It was learning to control my emotions, respect the market, and respect risk. Even today, I still sometimes get the direction wrong, and I still cut losses. But I won’t let a single losing trade negate myself, and I won’t get carried away by a single winning trade!

After trading for these years, my biggest takeaway can be summed up in one sentence:

The market won’t reward the smartest people—it will only reward those who can survive in the long run.

Many people always want to find a method that makes money 100% of the time. But what really pulled me out was never just one indicator, and never just one time of making a huge profit.

It was accepting losses, sticking to discipline, and patiently waiting for opportunities that belong to me. If you give me 100U again now, I still have confidence.

Not because I can guarantee making money on every trade.

But because I finally know that the real confidence in trading isn’t how much money you have in your account—it’s whether you have a set of rules that you can execute consistently over the long term.

Many people ask me: what’s the hardest part of trading? Back then, I would say it’s the technology. Now my answer is just two words: mindset!
