There is an interesting case: starting with an initial account of 1,500 USD, growing to 28,000 USD in three months, then continuously rolling over to break through 56,000 USD, all without a single liquidation. The secret behind this is not about how accurate market predictions are, but about three strictly enforced trading disciplines.



**Position Segmentation Is the Prerequisite for Survival**

Divide the funds into three modules of 500 USD each: the intraday module for short-term trades, exiting as soon as profits are seen; the swing module for 2-3 week cycles, only trading once the trend is confirmed; and the core holding module as the final capital for turnaround. The brilliance of this structure is that if any one module encounters issues, the entire account can still be maintained. Conversely, many people choose to go all-in on a single move, resulting in a quick exit after a single correction. Staying alive is the foundation for profitability.

**The Trap of Trading Frequency**

Most of the time in the crypto market is spent in high-level consolidation or low-level reversals. Blindly trading during these periods is essentially giving money to the market. The correct approach is: during non-trending periods, stay put; only intervene once the K-line shows a clear direction. Once profits reach 20%, immediately take partial or full profits. Securing the gains already made is more important than chasing bigger returns.

**Mechanical Execution vs. Emotional Decision-Making**

Set fixed stop-loss points (automatic exit at a 2% loss) and take-profit points (reduce position at 4% profit), then strictly follow these rules. Impulses to add positions during losses or greed to expand during profits are the triggers for account blow-ups. True trading experts rely not on intuition but on systems. Let the money run on its predetermined track, rather than letting emotions dictate every decision.

This logic can be seen in operations from MYX to BCH—small funds, through constraints and risk isolation, achieve exponential growth. For traders who lose sleep over account fluctuations, these three principles may be more practical than any market prediction.

lol 1500 to 56k sounds nice on paper but where's the gas optimization in this? seems like they're just... not yolo'ing like degenerates. actually if you backtest the stop-loss mechanics against mev extraction windows you'd probably find better basis points tbh.

Honestly, there are quite a few people who go all-in in one wave and then exit. I've seen too many. The key is discipline; most people can't do it.

Honestly, going all-in on one wave is really a suicidal move. I've seen too many people operate like that and just get wiped out. This approach of splitting positions may seem unremarkable, but it actually lasts longer. Not making quick money and avoiding liquidation—that's the winning mindset. Frequent trading is truly impressive. During consolidation, you should be on your phone. Not every market condition calls for trading; selective trading is the key. Mechanical stop-loss sounds simple, but few can actually execute it. Losing money makes you want to add more, making a profit makes you greedy—that's why most people get liquidated. There are daily examples of small accounts growing into large accounts, but most people can't learn from them because they lack the discipline. This logic works in both bull and bear markets. When risk control is in place, the market becomes much simpler.

In plain terms, don't tempt fate; only by staying alive can you make money.

To be honest, those who are fully invested deserve to be liquidated. These three rules are basically about self-control. Knowing when to cut losses is already half the battle won, but most people just can't resist greed. From 1500 to 56,000, the numbers look great, but the key is that we actually survived. What I fear most isn't losing money, but a sudden pullback that wipes everything out—that's true despair.
