What to do if your account only has 1500U? Many people try to go all-in and turn things around, but end up being washed out by the market. I've seen too many stories like this.



A friend of mine recently came to me, with only 1500U left in his account. My advice to him was straightforward: divide the money into three parts, 500U each.

**First part: Short-term trading (500U)**
Make no more than two trades per day, enter when signals appear, exit when stop-loss is triggered. Don't be greedy for small profits during consolidation; that's the easiest place to get trapped.

**Second part: Trend trading (500U)**
This portion is reserved for confirming an uptrend on the weekly chart. When there's no trend, just leave it be, no trading. Once it starts, follow closely until the structure breaks. It sounds simple, but most people lack the patience to do this.

**Third part: Emergency funds (500U)**
Keep it for extreme market conditions. If your account is close to liquidation, use this part to top up and ensure you can continue participating. Losing your head means game over, but losing a finger can still grow back.

This approach sounds conservative, but after sticking with it for three months, the account has multiplied tenfold. Why? Because staying alive is more important than anything.

**Entry signals are very simple:**
If the moving averages are not forming a bullish arrangement, do not hold a position. This alone can filter out 80% of false breakouts.

Splitting it into three parts is indeed a tough move; the key is to truly be able to stick with it without going all-in, which is the hardest part.

Three copies of legal listening sound good, but how many can really survive three months? This thing is a true test of human nature. Going all-in with a single bet is indeed foolish, but even three copies can easily turn sour. The key is that 4% stop-loss—how many people have died because they couldn't bear to press that button? Doubling ten times? It depends on whether the market gives face. No matter how perfect the rules are, they can't withstand black swan events. The most heartbreaking part of this method is actually the phrase "Being alive is more important than anything else." How many people have lost because they were unwilling to admit defeat? Making two trades a day in the short term sounds easy, but actually doing it is too exhausting. I think most people will still get itchy fingers.

Damn, three copies of the law are really awesome. I’ve been losing because I lack discipline. Looks like I need to learn how to survive.

1500U divided into three parts sounds pretty good, but in reality, 99% of people can't do it, especially when they see the limit-up moment… Honestly, it's a discipline issue. Trading without discipline is just gambling. This method is indeed hardcore, but the premise is that you can really stick to it for three months without wavering… I love the concept of emergency funds; too many people are not prepared, and one extreme market condition can wipe them out. The requirement for moving average line arrangement is too strict, often the trend only becomes clear after it has already started. The rule of a 4% stop loss is great; most margin calls happen because traders are reluctant to cut losses. Sounds like you're giving yourself a lesson, but ultimately, it's about execution…

Dividing into three parts, I've seen many people try this move, but very few actually stick with it. Most of them end up losing their composure.
