Making money with U might seem complicated, but when you get down to it, it's really just that simple.
Many people get caught up in win rate numbers but fail to understand the true logic. A 40% win rate can still grow your account, while someone with a 70% win rate might wipe out their entire position with a single big bet. It sounds contradictory, but in the trading market, this is the reality.
I've observed many live traders, and those who truly survive understand these three points.
First, win rate is just surface data. The key is how much you can earn when you're right and how much you can limit your losses when you're wrong. A trader with a 40% win rate but a 5:1 profit-to-loss ratio can see their account steadily grow; conversely, someone with a 70% win rate but losses that equal their gains will inevitably fail.
Second, position sizing determines life or death. Too many people fall by over-leveraging and going all-in blindly. True experts operate like this: start with small positions to test and find certainty → add to positions when correct → exit quickly when wrong. Doing so, you always hold the ammunition to recover.
The last point is the easiest to overlook—consistent profitability depends on repeated execution, not luck. A trading system that can be maintained for three or five years is far more valuable than ten miraculous trades. The market rewards not the most aggressive, but those who can stay at the table.
So, is making money with U difficult? It depends on the logic you use. If your logic is correct, even ordinary market conditions can be profitable; if your logic is wrong, no matter how hot the bull market, it won't save you.

Position management is truly a matter of life and death. Many people lose everything by going all-in, watching their accounts plummet straight down, only to realize it's too late.

Sounds harsh, but on second thought... do those who consistently make money with a 40% win rate really exist? Or is it just survivor bias talking?

Exactly right, it's about living longer, not winning faster. Fully invested positions have all turned to dust.

That's right, win rate is really a false indicator. I've seen too many people with a 70% win rate go all-in and get eliminated in one shot.
The key is still that old saying: only by staying alive can you make money.
