Sharing from an experienced trader

If your trading capital is still less than 3000U, the most important thing now is not to pursue quick doubling, but to learn how to survive steadily in the market.

I saw an example: starting with 1300U, it reached over 30,000 in four months, without ever blowing up the account or experiencing large fluctuations. The secret is actually very simple—develop three "life-saving" habits.

**First Habit: Capital Segmentation**

The biggest taboo for small capital is putting all your eggs in one basket. Divide your funds into three parts: one for short-term trading, with a maximum of one trade per day; another waiting for big market moves, which can go for ten days or half a month without touching; and a third as a bottom line, never using it unless absolutely necessary. The benefit of this approach is that the market always offers opportunities for a turnaround, but once the capital is lost, the game is over.

**Second Habit: Only Trade Markets You Understand**

When the market is sideways or unclear in direction, stay out of the market. Better to make less than to take chances on uncertain opportunities. Honestly, many trading losses come from being restless and itching to operate on ambiguous market conditions.

**Third Habit: Set Trading Rules in Advance**

Trigger a stop-loss and exit immediately; don’t hold on out of luck. When reaching profit targets, take profits first; don’t be greedy for the last bit. When the account grows, regularly withdraw some profits. Never add to losing positions. This helps avoid emotional and reckless operations.

Using these three methods, the account in that example has now exceeded 100,000, and there's no need to stay up all night watching the screen—life is quite relaxed.

Ultimately, trading is like running a marathon. Small-cap players must first ensure their capital doesn’t die; go slow and steady, only then can you go further.
