Friends with less than 1500U principal, instead of rushing to build positions, it's better to pause and listen to these three ironclad rules that truly make money. See how others are steadily growing in the crypto market.



There is a trader who entered with 1200U and turned it into 25,000U in four months. His account has now grown to over 38,000U, and he has never been liquidated during the process. You might think he's just lucky, but you're wrong. Let me clearly explain this methodology to you now.

**Rule 1: Funds should be divided into three parts; full position is a dead end**

Split 1200U like this:

· 400U for day trading: monitor one trade per day, take profits when targets are hit, don’t be greedy.

· 400U for swing trading: operate once every ten days to two weeks, aiming for large gains once you start.

· 400U as a reserve: keep it sealed and untouched, this is your last hope for a turnaround.

Most people end up blowing up their accounts by going all-in at once. Surviving is the first step to making money.

**Rule 2: Only take profits you can clearly see, don’t make reckless moves**

Crypto markets spend about 80% of the time consolidating. Reckless trading is just giving money away. When the market is sideways, lie flat and do nothing. Wait until the trend is clear before entering. Take profits when they arrive; take 30% off once profits exceed 20% of the principal. The true master’s logic is: "Don’t trade if you don’t have to; once you trade, you must eat well."

**Rule 3: Use mechanisms to replace emotions; this is the last fortress**

Set a stop-loss at 2% and stick to it.

When profits reach 4%, start reducing your position.

Never add to a losing position.

Pre-set all rules in advance, and do not change them during execution. Don’t let emotions interfere with decisions. The highest level of making money is actually simple: let your money run, don’t let your mood control your trades.

Honestly, having a small principal is not scary; what’s scary is always wanting to eat a big piece at once. Turning 1200U into 38,000U is not about luck, but about these strict rules that lock in risk and let profits run.

If you are still losing sleep over a few hundred U’s fluctuation, or cannot grasp the trend and control your positions, this logic is worth serious consideration. The details of position sizing, timing tricks, and mastery of the right moment are all contained in these three principles. Avoiding years of detours is more valuable than anything else.

I've been trading for ten years. To be honest, I only recently truly understood this position-scaling logic. How many blood, sweat, and tears stories of margin calls have I had before? It seems like there's nothing wrong with it, but the key is in execution. Most people fail because of their mindset. It looks simple, but in practice, it's hell. I still tend to make impulsive moves. This example might be a bit exaggerated, but the idea is correct. For small funds, greed is the biggest taboo. I agree with dividing into three parts, but timing is really a big challenge. How can you determine a clear trend? The key is still that phrase: don't let your emotions drive your trading. That's so true. My problem is that I hesitate when I should cut, and I get too greedy when I should eat the loss. Looks like I need to set up a bot to help me make decisions.

The key is whether you can really stick with it; most people forget after reading. --- 1200 to 38,000, just listen and don't take it seriously; those who survive are just survivor bias. --- It sounds good, but the real difficulty is in execution. I just died at the emotional hurdle. --- Splitting into three parts is nothing new; the core is still discipline in stop-loss. Without discipline, everything is useless. --- It's the same old story. The problem is that the trend becomes clear only after it has already risen, so it's not easy to catch the right entry point. --- 4% reduction in position? That's a bit conservative. In a bull market, such operations can lead to huge losses. --- You're right, but the underlying logic still requires enough principal for trial and error. 1200U is really too trivial.

Really, I just want to ask if this guy has any drawdown records... --- Splitting a position into three equal parts sounds perfect, but the key is whether I can stick to it—I don't have that strong of a mindset. --- Stop loss at 2% and reduce position by 4%, these numbers sound so familiar... I think I saw them somewhere before. --- Going all-in and getting liquidated is indeed common, but in this example, how did that $1200U start? The scenario is too ideal. --- Sideways consolidation is the hardest part. Every time I get itchy, I start making random moves and paying fees. --- Rules are set in stone and not changed; it's easy to say but really tough to do... Once there's a loss, all kinds of thoughts start to pop up.

I've been using these three partial positions for a long time; the key is still being able to withstand the boredom during those sideways months.

This story is just for listening, a survivor bias. --- 38,000 sounds great, but how many accounts like this have survived until now? --- Dividing into three parts is correct, but the key is to grasp the rhythm; this point wasn't fully explained in the article. --- I just want to ask, can you really copy every day within 400U? That's an exaggeration. --- A 2% stop loss sounds simple, but in practice, it can really crush your mentality. --- It seems logical and rigorous, but when has the market not been hit by a black swan? --- Divide your positions, but in the end, it still depends on your intuition; rules are just the framework. --- This theory might have been useful last year, but now the crypto market is too unpredictable. --- Can you really hold back the 400U bottom card? I can't do it, haha. --- Wow, another case of small principal doubling; but what's the probability?
