Back in 2018, I entered the market with 600U and eventually rolled it up to 170,000U.

It wasn't about any mystical strategy, nor did I follow any signal groups—just three words: endure, persevere, hold.

At the beginning? I was just like every other newbie.

I saw others making thousands of U a day with 20x leverage and thought I could do it too.

The result? Five blowups in three days, and my 600U turned into 97U.

That night, staring at the screen, my hands were shaking so much I could barely hold the mouse. That’s when I realized—this market isn’t about who's the smartest, it's about who admits defeat first.

Starting from 97U, I changed my approach.

I no longer wanted to get rich overnight; I just wanted to survive the next dip. Every time I made 20%, I’d close half my position—lock in profits, protect the principal. No revenge trading, no FOMO, no falling in love with the market.

During that period, I barely slept four hours a night. Watching the market at 2AM, setting take-profits at 5AM, reviewing trades at 8AM. Friends said I was crazy; I told them they were too “stable”—so stable they couldn’t survive.

When my account grew to 18,000U, several people around me had already closed out and left the space.

I, on the other hand, became even more cautious. The bigger my principal, the lighter my positions. I’d only ever deploy 30%, keeping the other 70% as “survival money.” The market doesn’t lack opportunities; what it lacks are accounts that are still able to open positions.

The trade I remember most: the market was in extreme panic, I held on for ten days, set my stop-loss rock solid and didn’t move it. Then the trend suddenly reversed, and that one trade tripled my account.

In that moment, I fully understood—it’s not the people who are trading every day that make the big money, it’s those who can hold out.

People often ask me how I turned 600 into 180,000.

I say, it was my mindset, not leverage.

The market swings every day; true pros aren’t the ones making money every day, but those who can stay calm when losing, and pull back when winning.

There are no gods in this market, just survival strategies. What I did, anyone can theoretically do—as long as you truly want to survive, not just try to get rich quick.

If you’re currently losing so much you’re questioning your life, or hesitating to enter the market, take a moment to think: are you here to gamble your life, or to save it?
