If your principal is less than 1500U, let me give you a blunt but effective truth: what you should learn now is not how to get rich overnight, but how to survive.
Two years ago, I mentored a friend starting with 1200U, and in 4 months, he reached 25,000U, all without liquidation or catastrophic drawdowns.
It's never luck that gets you there, only three core principles — extreme simplicity and extreme stability.
First: Split your capital to avoid risking everything at once. Divide 1200U into three parts: 400U for day trading, one order per day, never greedy; 400U for swing trading, once every ten days or half a month, never rushing; 400U as a safety fund, so if you lose, you still have the means to bounce back.
👉 Remember: full position = courting death, splitting your capital is the way to survive. Second: Only trade in clear, predictable markets; avoid sideways or choppy markets — 80% of short-term losses come from sideways volatility; if the trend is unclear, stay out — better to miss opportunities than to enter blindly and lose.
Focus only on markets with clear trends, and only bite into the biggest, juiciest parts.
Markets are never available every day, but your capital must be there every day.
Third: Lock in rules, clear your emotions, and set a 2% stop-loss as casually as eating or drinking;
Take profit at 4%, cut half your position and secure gains;
When your account profits exceed 20% of the principal, immediately withdraw 30% to lock in profits;
Never add to a losing position — this is the deadly trap that 90% of people fall into and never recover.
No gambling, no holding, no illusions of “it will bounce back” — say goodbye to emotional trading.
And the result? His account has already surpassed 50,000U+.
More importantly — he no longer stays up all night watching the charts, burning out his body. Just spend 5 minutes a day checking key levels, then you can call it a day.
If you want to turn things around in the crypto world, remember this: your principal must survive before you can talk about doubling.
Split your positions, wait for the right moment, control your fire — these things may sound dull, but they can save you three years of detours.
Always chasing shortcuts and quick profits? But the harsh truth in crypto is: the fastest way is always to slow down first.

Positioning, timing, controlling the heat—these things may not sound exciting, but they can save you three years of detours.
Always thinking about taking shortcuts and making quick money? But the most ironic truth in the crypto world is: the fastest route is always to slow down first.
