I have seen too many traders rise and fall, but there is one case that left a deep impression on me — she went from 6000U to 350,000U and then announced her retirement to go back home and build a villa. This level of clarity is truly not something an average person can possess.

At the beginning, she had only 6000U left in her account, having already lost more than 40,000 before. During that time, she was completely out of control: every day for a month she was getting liquidated, sometimes placing over ten orders in a single day, in a typical state of "the more she lost, the more she wanted to recover, the more anxious she became, the more chaotic her actions were."

Later she adjusted the two most basic things:
First, the trend must be confirmed twice before taking action; do not rush into the first wave.
Second, set the stop-loss before entering each trade, and position size should follow a fixed ratio, never go all in.

She executed these two points to perfection. The effect was immediate.

In the first month, the account rose from 6000U to 12000U. The profit isn't considered much, but the key is that her operations have stabilized—her hands no longer tremble, the pace has slowed down, and her mindset has calmed. This is the true beginning of a turnaround.

In the second month, the market was relatively smooth, and she began to use the strategy of "main position to catch trends + small position to roll profits". Profit-taking is always divided into three stages: first lock in a portion to ensure capital preservation, then push part of it along with the trend, and finally leave a portion to seek more space. Before long, the account broke six figures for the first time.

In the third month, she really was on a roll. While others were getting dizzy from the fluctuations, she focused on the main upward trend and the secondary confirmation opportunities during pullbacks; while others were getting stuck chasing the rise, she firmly stayed in the trend and profited from the main ascent; while others were tormented by the sideways market, she easily raised her position by rolling her bottom positions in the range. In the end, with the last profit-taking, 6000U had rolled up to 350,000U.

I have seen quite a few people who have flipped their positions, but there are really not many who can climb out of such a deep pit so steadily. What surprised me even more was that after making enough money, she directly exited the circle: "Returning home to relax, slowing down, building a small villa"—she stopped as soon as she wanted, very carefree.

Many people become more and more reckless as they earn more, and a single pullback can wipe out all their profits. However, she understands the importance of knowing when to take profits, and this level of clarity is very rare.

She can turn over, not because of any talent, but because she is willing to be steady, willing to control, and willing to follow the rhythm. And this is exactly what most people lack.

The market is always there, and there are opportunities every month. But making real money relies on methods, rhythm, and execution, not luck. If you are currently confused about direction, giving back profits after making money, and unable to control the rhythm after losing, then you really need to stop and think about whether it's time to change your strategy.
