A friend of mine entered the market three months ago with 1,200U, and now her account balance has reached 80,000U, without ever getting liquidated.

It’s not just luck—she truly took risk management seriously.

She asked me how to play the game back then, so I set three strict rules for her.

**Rule 1: Separate your funds**

Split the 1,200U into three parts:
400U for short-term trading—take profits quickly, don’t hesitate;
400U for swing trading—if the market isn’t clear, don’t make rash moves;
The remaining 400U is your backup—this is your last resort.

Every time the market took a big dip, she still had ammo in hand. While others panicked, she dared to buy.

**Rule 2: Don’t try to eat the whole fish**

Most of the time the market is just grinding people down; only a few segments are truly profitable.

Once profits hit 15%, pull out the principal and let the profits run. Just take the juiciest part—leave the head and tail for others.

**Rule 3: Execution matters more than judgment**

If you lose 2%, you must cut; if you gain 5%, you must take profit—no exceptions.

At first, she hesitated and felt reluctant, but gradually it became a reflex—get out when you need to, no emotions attached.

She later told me her mindset is much more stable now, and she doesn’t panic during drawdowns.

The market never eliminates people for not being smart enough; it eliminates those who can’t stick to the rules.

If you’re still being led around by market swings, maybe it’s time to try a new approach.
