#美联储重启降息步伐 To be honest, I'm not ashamed to admit it—two or three years ago, I lost over a million in a liquidation. That Spring Festival, I was too embarrassed to go home, so I went to a construction site to carry cement, just thinking about saving up enough capital to take another shot.

With the $6,000 I scraped together through sweat and hard work, I managed to grow it to $180,000, and now my account balance is eight digits. Looking back, there are three principles I stuck to that saved my life:

**First: Position sizing is your lifeline**
The worst losses I ever took were always because I couldn’t resist trading too much. When I saw the market take off, I’d go all-in, and then a single retracement would wipe me out. Later, I set a rule for myself: never open more than 40% per trade, always keep the other 60% safe as a lifeline. As long as your account survives, there will always be opportunities. This isn't playing it safe—it's the minimum requirement to stay alive.

**Second: Trade with the trend, don’t fight the market**
I stopped trying to catch the absolute bottoms or tops a long time ago. If the market’s going up, I go long; if it’s going down, I go short. Following the trend is always the right move. There were times I made several thousand dollars in just ten minutes—not because I’m some trading genius, but simply because I learned not to fight the trend. Pick the right direction, and the profits will come naturally.

**Third: Take profits in batches**
No matter how strong a trend looks, there’s always a reversal sooner or later. Now, my habit is to keep only 30% of the profit rolling in the account each time, and withdraw the rest immediately. This might seem slow, but it ensures your principal is safe, and your profits keep growing steadily. Success in contract trading comes from discipline, not from going all-in on one bet.

To put it bluntly, most people don’t lose because of a lack of skill, but because of poor mindset and weak execution. I once coached a follower who grew from just over $1,000 to $26,000 using this exact method.

Opportunities are always there—the only thing missing is the determination to take the first step. Stop hesitating, get in rhythm, and your turnaround starts now.
