# From 1800U to 58,000U: Traders' Verified Steady Growth Path



Many people enter the crypto world hoping to turn their investments around overnight, but the result is often account zeroing. In fact, those who truly survive do not rely on luck but follow a systematic approach.

A trader once shared his journey: starting with an initial capital of 1800U, reaching 29,000U in three months, and now maintaining over 58,000U. Throughout the process, he never experienced a margin call. The logic behind this is worth analyzing.

## Capital Triangle Cutting Method: Diversify Risks as the First Lesson

Divide the principal into three parts, each with its own mission:

- **Short-term trading (600U)**: Focus on intraday opportunities, execute once targets are hit, and exit upon profit—no room for greed
- **Mid-term allocation (600U)**: Use a cycle of ten days to half a month, patiently wait for clear trends before heavy involvement
- **Core reserve (600U)**: This is the ballast of the account, hold long-term without moving, leaving room for a turnaround

Compared to this, many beginners go all-in right away, risking a margin call with just one opposite fluctuation. Surviving the battlefield is the prerequisite for talking about profits.

## Only Aim for Certainty Profits: Range-bound Markets Are Not Opportunities

Most of the time in the crypto world, the market is range-bound. Being more active during these times often results in losses, as every operation contributes to platform fees.

The smart approach is: do nothing without a clear trend; waiting does no harm. Once the direction is clear, aim for over 20% profit, take 30% of the gains immediately, and let the rest run.

The hallmark of a master is not the number of trades per day but that each trade captures a complete market move. Quality over frequency.

## Mechanical Discipline: Let Rules, Not Emotions, Drive the Account

Set strict rules and execute mechanically:

- Stop loss immediately at a 2% loss; luck-based psychology is the poison of the account
- When profits reach 4%, reduce positions in batches and lock in part of the gains early
- Never add to a losing position; over-adding increases losses

Follow the rules once set. Let the account operate according to the system, rather than being swayed by current emotional fluctuations.

Final advice: Having less capital is not scary; what’s scary is losing control of your mindset and trying to quickly recover losses, ultimately risking your principal. Adhere to these three discipline points, and even starting with small amounts, your account can grow steadily.

Damn, I've been using this set of theories for a long time. The key is still mindset; not many can stick to discipline.

To be honest, the numbers from 1800 to 58,000 sound quite tempting, but the real challenge is discipline... Most people forget after reading.

To be honest, I've been using the three-part method for a long time. The key is to stick to that 2% stop-loss line. Once it's broken, the mindset completely collapses.

The one-third strategy is indeed reliable, but the real challenge is in executing discipline, isn't it?

honestly the "capital triangle" thing is just basic portfolio allocation theory repackaged for retail traders who think they discovered something revolutionary... but yeah, the discipline part actually matters. most people can't stick to rules when their emotions are screaming, that's the real filter separating survivors from liquidation candidates.
