Is it possible to turn things around with a small principal?
I saw a case where starting with 1500 USDT, it grew to 45,000 in four months. No high leverage, no reckless trading—just three solid strategies to get through.
**First Trick: Divide Funds into Three Parts, Each with Its Role**
Split 1500 into three portions of 500 each. The first is used for intraday rhythm, rotating out after a 3% gain. The second remains idle, waiting until the market trend is clear before deciding whether to enter. The third is locked in; as long as the principal remains, the mindset stays stable.
The benefit of this approach is obvious—never risk all chips on a single mistake. Market volatility is intense, and human greed is strong. Dividing your position is like installing a fuse for yourself.
**Second Trick: Only Enter When the Trend Is Clear**
Most of the time, the market is in consolidation. Instead of chasing every small rise and fall, it’s better to wait patiently. Wait for a genuine breakout signal before jumping in. Once in, monitor closely; take half of the profit when it reaches 25%, and set a stop-loss to protect the remaining position, letting it run on its own.
This approach sounds conservative but actually avoids the most common pitfall—watching unrealized gains turn into unrealized losses, and ending up losing money.
**Third Trick: Three Iron Rules, Never Break Any**
If a single trade loses more than 2%, it indicates a misjudgment; stop-loss immediately. When profits reach 5%, close half of the position to lock in gains, ensuring stability and leaving room for future trades. Most importantly—never add to a losing position to average down. This rule seems simple, but 99% of people tend to break it.
**Stability Over Speed**
Over four months, this trader’s most frequent action wasn’t buying but waiting. Waiting for signals, clearer trends, and calmer emotions. Many think experts are trading every day, but that’s not true. The real profit-makers are often those who can sit still.
Going from 1500 to 45,000 may seem like a miracle, but in reality, it’s discipline, patience, and respect for risk. Dividing the position ensures safety at the bottom, trend-based trading improves win rate, and strict discipline allows compound growth.
If you’re also exploring your own trading rhythm, these three directions are worth trying. Don’t expect to get rich overnight; steady compounding is the only way to survive cycles.
