Over twenty thousand lost, only two thousand left in the account, is there still a chance to turn things around?

I can understand that feeling. I’ve been there too—when I lost over 300,000 RMB, I almost wanted to give up completely. During that time, just looking at the candlestick charts made me want to vomit, and I’d panic whenever the market dropped.

But I didn’t give up and throw in the towel. Instead, at my lowest point, I started to really think: where did the problem lie?

Looking back now, the key to overcoming the difficulty wasn’t relying on luck to turn things around, but establishing a set of discipline. From rebuilding my account from zero to now steadily growing, I’ve identified five turning points.

**Step 1: Accept reality and reset your mindset**
Stop dreaming of overnight riches. Losses are just the cost of trading, just like the cost of goods in a business. Once you understand this, your mind can calm down, and you can keep moving forward.

**Step 2: Position management is the key to survival**
Never risk more than 15% of your total funds on a single trade. Better to earn slowly than to risk blowing up your account. Light positions give you room to make mistakes.

**Step 3: Set your stop-loss points and stick to them**
Decide your stop-loss level before entering a trade. When it hits, cut your losses—don’t expect a rebound. Protecting your capital is always the top priority.

**Step 4: Let profits generate more profits**
Don’t frequently add more capital to chase a turnaround. Use the profits you’ve earned to keep rolling over, allowing your account to grow with the power of compound interest.

**Step 5: Turn trading into a system**
Combine indicators and market rhythm to form a clear operational plan. Then execute it like following an SOP—don’t let emotions take over.

Partners who follow this approach have already doubled their accounts or are steadily climbing. Their common trait is: they are determined to strictly follow these disciplines.

Losses themselves aren’t scary; what’s frightening is losing composure and losing the ability to execute. As long as you’re willing to settle down, use the right methods, and take it step by step, the path to recovery is right in front of you.
