#大户持仓变化 At 2 a.m., received a private message: "You both go long, why did I lose 28% in a month while you earned 42%?"

After reviewing his trading records, I understood — the same candlestick patterns in front of us, the difference lies in the use of capital and psychological discipline.

It took 8 years from margin calls to stable profits. Losing 200,000 yuan before mastering this methodology, which I call "Profit Snowball":

**First Line of Defense: Capital Preservation First**
Try a 5% position size, with a 0.8% stop loss. No clear signal means staying out of the market. Those who protect their principal can outperform 80% of participants.

**Second Turning Point: Profit Splitting**
Once earning 50%, split the profits immediately: lock in half, and use the other half as trading capital. Only use profits to add positions, making account bankruptcy nearly impossible.

**Third Step Upgrade: Insurance Mechanism**
When floating profits exceed the principal, activate hedging: use 10% of profits for reverse protection, and loosen the stop loss to 50%. Even if a pullback occurs, both the principal and previous profits are protected.

**Rapid Decision-Making Period: 3 Minutes to Life or Death**
If a breakout is accompanied by increased volume? Push all profits in. If it breaks below a key level with weak volume? Close all positions with one click—no more emotional battles.

**Pullback Management: Take Profits When the Time Is Right**
When a retracement hits 15%, lock in half of the profits. Let the remaining run, but extinguish greed.

**Daily Discipline: Take Profits Regularly**
At the end of each day, withdraw profits. Keep only the original principal plus 10% of active funds in the account. This way, you won't be trapped by market fluctuations.

Opportunities in the market are plentiful; what’s scarce is execution. Use profits to fight, let the principal sleep, and you can leave the candlestick chart with a smile.
