If your trading principal is still below 2000U, I have to say something not very pleasant:
The most important thing to think about at this stage is not how to get rich overnight, but how to survive until the next cycle.
I know a trader who started with 1500U and made it to 32,000U in four months, without ever getting liquidated or experiencing a major drawdown. This is not some mystical secret; it’s just using three simple methods—so simple that everyone can understand and so stable that everyone can replicate.
**First Bottom Line: Money must be separated; full position equals risking your life**
Divide 1500U into three parts:
500U for intraday trading (monitor one point each day, never greedy for more)
500U waiting for swing opportunities (may only trade once every ten days)
500U reserved as a turnaround chip (no matter how much this part loses, the account stays alive)
Many people can’t learn this. As soon as they see some movement in the market, they go all-in. Profits come quickly, but so do losses. That’s it.
**Second Bottom Line: Only trade what you understand, pretend the rest doesn’t exist**
Most people lose money in sideways markets because of this simple reason—when the direction is unclear, they still have to act.
Better to stay completely out of the market for a whole month and wait, than to trade recklessly in unpredictable conditions. Opportunities may be rare, but the principal must stay alive every day.
**Third Bottom Line: Write all rules in stone, leave no room for emotions**
Stop-loss is set at 2%, as natural as eating.
Take profit at 4%, then cut your position in half—that’s locking in gains.
When the account profit exceeds 20% of the principal, immediately transfer 30% to a cold wallet.
Most importantly: never add to a losing position. That’s why 90% of people can’t turn things around—they keep hoping to wait until they break even, but end up digging themselves deeper.
Following this methodology, that trader’s account now exceeds 100,000U. More realistically, he no longer needs to stay up late watching the charts—spend five minutes a day checking the price, make the necessary moves, and do whatever else you want with the rest of your time.
There’s a saying that must be engraved in your mind: as long as the principal is alive, you have the right to talk about doubling it.
Position sizing, patience, rhythm—these may sound dull, but they can save you years of detours. In the crypto world, true speed often starts from slow and steady.
