The easiest way to blow up in the crypto market is to hold a small principal and try to go all-in at once. Look at how those who survive do it.

A trader entered with 1200U, and in 4 months grew it to 25,000U. Now the account has already exceeded 38,000U, and they never experienced a margin call. This is not luck; there is a proven solid logic behind it.

**First Layer: Capital Must Be Diversified**

Split 1200U into three parts, each 400U—dedicate one to quick intraday bottom picking, one to main positions during swings, and one to the "turnaround gold" that stays untouched. Full position is playing with fire. Only by surviving can you talk about making money.

**Second Layer: Only Trade Clear Trends**

80% of the time in the crypto market is consolidation; trading recklessly during this period is suicide. Wait until the trend is established before taking action. Take profits when reaching 20% of the principal, and cash out 30%. Don’t expect to ride one trend for three years. True experts know when to move and when to lie flat.

**Third Layer: Use Discipline Instead of Intuition**

Cut losses at 2%, take half off at 4%, and never add during a loss. Write down the rules, follow them strictly, and don’t let emotions control your account. Set stop-loss and reduce positions in advance; then let profits run on their own.

Starting from 8000U to now, traders will tell you that small principals are not scary; what’s scary is wanting to become rich overnight. Growing 1200U into 38,000U relies on this methodology of locking in risks and letting profits run.
