The day the account balance jumped to 600U, I stared at the screen in a daze for ten minutes.

It's not shock, it's that kind of numbness of "finally, we've reached this point."

I dare not calculate the numbers of my debts; every time I think of it, my heart skips a beat. During that time, I dreamt of liquidation—K lines crashing down, margin going to zero, then waking up in a cold sweat.

Trading software? I'm afraid to click. I'm scared to see how bad my situation is.

**The hardest part is not being broke, but feeling like you're worthless.**

The crash period lasted about a week.

I felt like I was floating—watching the market like a gambler placing bets, making orders based solely on my instincts. When I lost, I increased my position in hopes of recovering, but instead, I just kept sinking deeper. Eventually, I suddenly realized: the market wasn't trying to kill me; I was the one digging my own grave.

So I did something very stupid but very crucial: **forced myself to stop.**

Literally speaking, I didn't open new positions, didn't look at the market, and took a three-day break for myself. During those three days, I didn't make any money, but I also didn't continue to lose; my mind became a bit clearer.

The real turning point came very unexpectedly.

A month later, I met a friend who was trading. He didn’t try to persuade me to quit, nor did he make any empty promises about some "comeback secret"; he just said one thing:

**"You lose not because of bad luck, but because you have no strategy at all."**

At that time, it sounded like cursing, but looking back, it was indeed the case - I couldn't even clearly say where the stop loss was, so why did I think I could make money?

The method he taught me is actually very simple: **watch the trend, start with a small position, cut losses harshly, and add more after making a profit.** It sounds like everyone understands it, but very few can actually execute it.

According to his style of play, I went from 600U to 2100U, which took about two months.

The increase is not fast, but my mindset is stable. Because I know what I am doing with each trade, I can accept losses and won't be as affected as I was before.

The first time I felt like "I might not be that useless" was that afternoon when my account surpassed two thousand. I wasn't excited, but I breathed a sigh of relief—there's still hope.

The rhythm at the back is smooth.

It took another month for 2100U to reach 35,000U. At this point, I started repaying my debts. Although it's still far from enough, at least I no longer have to have nightmares every day.

After six months, the account shows +1.26 million.

Yes, from minus 610,000 to over 1 million, I find it ridiculous myself. But this wasn't achieved by luck with a big order; it was earned through meticulous effort according to the rules.

**Getting on shore really doesn't depend on talent, it depends on whether you can hold back from messing around.**

If you are also in debt right now, can't sleep, and don't know what to do —

Don't panic.

Stop for a moment and don't trade with emotions. Find a reliable method; it's okay if it takes a bit longer. You will see changes in 1 to 2 months, and you can basically turn things around in 3 to 6 months.

The direction is right, time will provide the answer.
