Some say that the crypto world relies on luck, but that's not true. Recently, I reviewed the account growth of a trader who just entered the market. Starting with 1,500 USD, it took him a full five months to steadily reach 42,000 USD. Throughout the process, he didn't use high leverage, didn't chase news, but instead achieved doubling through the simplest methods.



The first cornerstone of this system is position splitting. Divide the 1,500 USD into three parts—one for intraday fluctuations, taking profits when the market looks good; another for mid-term trends, only acting upon clear breakouts; and the last purely as a ballast, never moving regardless of circumstances. The benefit of this approach is that any problem in one position won't cause serious damage.

The second step is to abandon those "possible" gains. The crypto market is characterized by long periods of sideways movement. Instead of frequently entering and exiting during oscillations, it's better to turn off trading software and wait for the main upward wave to truly start before re-entering. Once profits reach the target, lock in 60% of the gains, and let the remaining positions follow the trend to continue running, but never chase the last bit of tail-end行情.

The third aspect is execution discipline. When a 2% loss threshold is hit, cut the position immediately—don't think a rebound will save you; take profit in stages every 5% increase; never add to losing positions, as averaging down often leads to bigger losses.

The contrast is obvious—while others are repeatedly cut during volatility, he adjusts his mindset during flat periods; while others get trapped chasing highs, he has already fully exited at high levels. Whether small funds can turn around depends not on how aggressive you are, but on how calm you remain. Those seemingly rigid trading rules are precisely the confidence that allows you to survive the longest in the crypto market.

That's right, discipline is the fundamental way to survive. This set of position splitting is really awesome; not everyone can resist the temptation of sideways trading. From 1500 to 42,000 in 5 months, I like this pace, much more steady. The key is still to have execution power; most people can't cut their losses at 2%. Now I remember, adding positions indeed accelerates losses. While others are greedy, he just makes money; the difference is huge. Staying calm is easier to say than to do. A good mindset can truly change everything.

Sounds good, but how many people can really stick to it? Most people can't resist the urge to trade when they see sideways movement. --- The concept of position splitting is indeed fundamental, but unfortunately, many are still all-in. --- The key is that 2% stop-loss line. It sounds simple but really hits hard when you try to implement it. --- Five months 28x, no leverage, no news? Why do I still feel it's a bit uncertain? --- That last sentence hit the point: calm people really make money, aggressive people only lose money. --- Very true, but unfortunately, most people see a rise and FOMO in, see a fall and cut their losses and run. --- I agree most with the part about execution; stop-loss is really the hardest part. --- The term "ballast" is good; it's just very hard to truly avoid touching it.

This is the true essence of trading: discipline > luck. I believe in it.
