Having navigated this market for so many years, I've seen too many traders lose all their capital to gambling tendencies, and I've also seen those who stick to a few basic rules steadily outperform. Today, I want to share some insights rooted in real trading experience. How much you can understand depends on how deep your reverence for risk is.

**First Rule: Always divide your bullets into three piles**

Whether your account has 3000U or 5000U, you must split them—these are the "quick hand positions"

Gambling can ruin a lifetime; dividing positions can save the whole family. There's nothing wrong with that, but it depends on how many people can truly follow through.

To be honest, I've heard the "three piles of bullets" theory too many times. The key is whether you can truly withstand the pullback without wavering. Most people still sell everything at the first limit-down. When it comes to gambling, no matter how many rules you have, if you can't control your nature, it's all useless. I've seen many who strictly follow the rules but still get ruined by their mindset. Dividing positions sounds simple, but actually executing it is really difficult. Once you see an opportunity, the impulse to go all-in is hard to completely suppress.

Gambling can ruin a lifetime. I've seen too many people go all in and end up with nothing even for meals. Truly. This trick of three stacks of bullets, I've been using it for a long time. It's much better than those days of full-position all-in. That's right, how deep is your risk awareness? Ultimately, the account will speak. Seemingly simple position sizing, but many people just can't do it. Greed is truly a common flaw among traders. All the insights hit the mark, but I'm just worried that after reading, some people will forget or still forget. Sticking to the rules is a guaranteed win. It sounds simple, but it actually requires strong self-control. This kind of experience post is rare. Even though I know it, I still can't help but want to take a gamble.

Really, I've seen too many people go all-in and end up losing everything. You still have to respect the risks. To put it nicely, how many can truly do it? This strategy of stacking three positions has indeed stood the test of time; it all depends on whether you can stick to the discipline.

Really, I've seen too many people go all-in and just give up; the concept of position sizing is essentially a secret to surviving longer in the game. --- The three-tier division method sounds simple, but very few can stick to it. Most are honest for the first two months, then they go all-in. --- That's right, those who make money tend to play quietly, while those who boast about how much they earn often end up losing the most. --- I've tried the bullet stacking method, but I still can't resist temptation. As soon as market volatility appears, I use all my positions haha. --- Honestly, most people simply can't control their gambler's mentality. Talking about it on paper and actually trading are worlds apart.
