Most people in the crypto world dream of getting rich overnight, but to be honest— the more you want to double your money quickly, the more you need to step carefully.

When I first entered the scene, I only had $1,200 in my account, and my hands were trembling while placing orders. That’s when I realized a principle: the less capital you have, the less you should move it recklessly. After four months of persistence, my account surpassed $8,000; two months later, it reached $20,000. The entire process involved zero liquidation—sounds like luck, but it all comes down to two words—rules.

**How to grow small funds into big ones? I use these three tricks.**

**First Trick: Divide your funds into three parts; survival is the most important**

Here's how I allocate $1,200:
- $400 for intraday short-term trading, only trading BTC and ETH, closing immediately on 2%-4% movement, never greedy
- $400 for swing trading, waiting for clear signals before entering, holding for a few days to ensure stability
- The remaining $400 stays idle in the account—this is the confidence to turn things around, the mental safety net

People who go all-in have nothing left—when prices rise, they get dizzy; when prices fall, they panic and cut losses—can't go far like that.

**Second Trick: Follow the trend, avoid wasting time in sideways markets**

Most of the market time is spent in choppy sideways movement. The best move then is to do nothing and watch the show. Only when a genuine trend signal appears do you get in steadily.

Once I make a profit of 12%, I take out half—only then do I feel at ease. No chasing highs, no anxiety, no watching others profit from big moves—just earn what I can. Repeating this process offers many opportunities to double your money.

**Third Trick: Stick to the rules, keep emotions aside**

This is the strictest rule:
- Set a stop-loss at 1.2% per trade; if triggered, exit immediately—no fantasies
- When profits exceed 2.5%, halve your position; let the remaining run to continue earning
- Never add to a losing position; admit mistakes when they happen—don't let emotions take over

You don’t have to be right about every market move, but you must always follow the rules. It’s that simple.

From $1,200 to $200,000, I rely on nothing but rules, patience, and discipline. I once stumbled around in darkness, but now the light is on, and the path is clear. Small capital isn’t scary; what’s scary is impatience.
