$XAN 900U reached 36,000 U—not by predicting the market, but by following a set of ironclad trading rules that are never broken.
Starting with 900 U, I steadily grew it to 36,000 U in five months. No staying up all night watching charts, no going all-in—just three rules etched in my mind.
① Split your funds into three parts: use your short-term position for quick trades, and don’t get attached; use your swing-trading position to wait for a trend to take shape and ride its main move; keep your reserve position untouched—it’s what gives you the confidence to stay in the market. Those fully invested are gambling on short-term wins or losses. Only those who keep something in reserve have what it takes to stay in the game long term.
② Be selective: sit out choppy markets, and stay in cash when the trend is unclear. Missing ten opportunities does no harm; one oversized position that goes wrong can cost you dearly and be hard to recover from. Most of the time, the market offers no real opportunities. Knowing when to hold back is a skill.
③ Execute mechanically: set your maximum stop-loss in advance, and take profits in stages. Don’t blindly add to losing positions; after several consecutive losses, stop trading. A timely stop-loss is a controllable cost. Refusing to cut your losses and stubbornly holding on is what gets you shown the door.
