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.

Honestly, the hardest part of position splitting is really being able to stay still; most people still get itchy.

Sounds good, but honestly, cases of 1500x returns 30 times are too rare; it's mostly survivor bias. Wait, dividing into three parts and rotating 3% each time? That yield sounds... a bit conservative. The most heartbreaking part is actually "not adding positions to average down"; 99% of people have blown up on this, myself included. That's right, but how many people can really stay calm? I'm definitely an impatient person. This methodology is actually a typical Kelly formula approach; risk management is always the top priority. I just want to know, how has the market been over these four months? Everyone makes money in a bull market. Dividing positions is indeed reliable, but the prerequisite is that you first learn how to judge the trend, which is the real challenge.

That's true, but staying patient is really the biggest test. I myself have added to my position because I couldn't hold back.

It sounds like you're talking about ancient merchants' bookkeeping rules. Segregated accounts are like the ancient "Three Treasury System." It makes sense, but the real challenge is in execution.

Honestly, this split-position strategy is really reliable, but executing it is extremely difficult. --- Watching these kinds of cases every day, there are very few who can truly stick to not adding positions and averaging down. --- Waiting for signals, I really respect that, but it's exhausting—watching the market all day makes you itchy to trade. --- A 30x return on 1500 is indeed fierce, but the smaller the initial capital, the more intense the volatility, which isn't clearly explained here. --- Among the three ironclad rules, not adding positions and averaging down is the easiest to say but really deadly to do. Who doesn't want to recover losses when they are losing? --- Relying on steady compound interest to cycle through market phases is correct, but I'm afraid 99% of people simply can't endure until that day. --- The analogy of split-position insurance fuse is spot on, but unfortunately, many people put it in place and still want to bypass it. --- Strict discipline depends on mindset; if your mentality collapses, no rules will be effective.
