An account with 1500U grew to 45,200U in four months without using contracts or betting 100 times, just following a steady and disciplined approach. Many people ask how to turn things around, but the key is actually not complicated—it depends on whether you're willing to go slow and be cautious.



**Tip 1: Position Sizing is the Lifeline**

Divide the 1500U into three parts to trade. This is not being timid, but leaving yourself a backup. Use 500U for intraday fluctuations; when you gain 3%, withdraw decisively—don't try to eat the whole move in one trade. Another 500U is reserved for trend opportunities; if you don't see a 15% certainty, stay out. The last 500U stays at the bottom of the account and never moves—that's real insurance.

You'll find most people die quickly because they go all-in from the start, leaving no room for maneuver. The advantage of position sizing is that no matter which position loses, you still have bullets to fight on.

**Tip 2: Only chase the main upward wave; when it consolidates, go to sleep**

Most of the market time is spent grinding. Don't foolishly follow the trend—it's just asking for trouble. The real profit opportunities come from those few main upward waves. Wait until it clearly breaks out and the trend is confirmed before placing your bets.

After entering and making a 25% profit, take some profits off the table, and let the remaining position run. The benefit of this approach is that even if there's a correction later, your principal is already safe, and your mindset remains calm. Whatever happens next, it's not a big deal.

**Tip 3: Execution is the real skill**

Stick these rules on your screen: maximum loss per trade no more than 2% of your principal; cut losses when reached; take half of your profit when it hits 5%, and set a breakeven stop-loss on the rest to let profits run; never add to losing positions—averaging down is jumping into a pit.

Over four months, he spent the most energy not on opening positions but on waiting and observing. While others keep cutting in volatility, he quietly waits for signals at the sidelines; while others panic and add positions to recover losses, he has already exited safely. Small capital growth is not about being aggressive but about being steady—position sizing keeps you alive, trend analysis helps you profit, and discipline keeps your money safe.

**In conclusion**

If a few hundred dollars' fluctuation keeps you awake and makes your hands tremble when entering trades, the problem isn't the market—it's your method. Turning 1500U into 45,000U is possible, but the same 45,000U can also be wiped out instantly. The dividing line is whether you can stick to those simple-sounding but extremely difficult-to-implement rules for the long term. Don't keep wandering in the crypto world blindly.

That's really harsh. The split position strategy indeed saves lives, but unfortunately, most people get wiped out by that all-in move.

It sounds good, but the key is whether you can hold your ground. Most people fail because of their mindset, and within a few days, they start making reckless moves.

Everyone is right, but how many can really stick to it? I just fail in execution; I always think I can master a single deal.

That's correct, the main difference is in execution. Most people agree with the logic of position splitting in words, but when volatility hits, they still panic to death.

It sounds ideal, but how many can actually achieve it? Even after dividing my positions, I still lose. The toughest part is maintaining the right mindset.
