In three months, I rolled my principal from 2,000U to 60,000U—not through some mystical method, but from the day I decided to completely break away from a gambler’s mindset.

Now, a lot of people see my account balance and assume I must’ve caught some skyrocketing altcoin. Honestly, if I really had that kind of luck, I’d have been financially free long ago.

What’s the real story? It’s the kind of despair you feel after getting beaten down by the market so badly you don’t even want to look at the charts anymore. At that time, my account was down to just 2,000U. I made a rule for myself: from then on, every single trade had to live up to the word “survive.”

**First Change: Split the Money into Five Parts**

I split the 2,000U into five chunks, each 400U. From then on, I stuck to one iron rule—only ever use one portion at a time; the other four are my lifeline. If things look off? If I lose 12U, I’m out—no hesitation, not even for a second.

This discipline made me understand for the first time what “controllable risk” means. It’s not that I wouldn’t lose, but every time I did, I knew exactly how much.

**Second Change: Make Stop Losses and Take Profits as Natural as Breathing**

I set strict rules for myself:
- Stop-loss line: 3%, which is 12U
- Take-profit range: 6%-10%, about 24U to 40U

While others were praying as they watched the charts, I was just executing my system. No chasing pumps, no catching falling knives, no wishful thinking. Making money started to feel a bit like clocking in at work—boring, but stable.

**Third Change: Treat Trading Like a Small Business**

On average, I make about 70 trades a month. What’s my success rate? 60%—sounds pretty mediocre, right?

But the key is in having a sound structure:
- 28 losing trades: total -336U
- 42 winning trades: total +1,470U
- Net monthly profit: 1,134U

When I lost, I lost small. When I won, I held steady. Such a simple logic, yet most people never use it in their entire life.

Three months later, I withdrew the whole 60,000U. No myth, no destiny—just two things: **rules + execution**.

You can’t control the market’s ups and downs, but you can control your own hands. The real enemy of retail traders isn’t the whales—it’s yourself:
- All in as soon as you see a pump
- Hold on for dear life when you’re stuck
- Get shaky and want to cash out at the first small profit
- Keep hoping to break even when you’re down

It’s not your skills that are losing—it’s your habits.

One last thing:

Right now, maybe you only have a few thousand U in principal, and the market has made you doubt your life choices. But you need to understand: with the right method, small money can make a comeback; with the wrong method, even big money can’t be kept.

It’s not that you can’t do it—it’s that your trading system can’t.

If you want to change, you can start over right now.
