Traders with only around 1500U in capital, it's worth stopping to hear a truth—cryptocurrency markets have never been a casino, but a battlefield where precise calculations are needed to survive.



I’ve seen a beginner start with 1200U, grow it to 25,000U in four months, and now the account has surpassed 38,000U, with zero liquidation during that period. This is not luck, but a methodology. I myself went from over 8,000U to financial freedom, relying on this logic.

**First Layer: Capital must be divided into "three parts" — full position equals courting death**

Don’t put 1200U in all at once. Split into three accounts of 400U each. The intraday account monitors one trade daily; take profits when in position, don’t be greedy. The swing account stays idle for ten days or half a month; when it trades, it aims for big gains. The reserve account is frozen, reserved for a turnaround opportunity. Many like to go all-in, ending up liquidated—if you want to make money, first you must survive.

**Second Layer: Only take guaranteed big profits, don’t move recklessly during sideways markets**

Cryptocurrency markets spend about 80% of the time sideways. Every reckless move is like giving money to the market. During sideways periods, lie flat and observe; re-enter only when the trend becomes clear. Once profits are secured, withdraw 30% of gains exceeding the principal by 20%. True experts think: "If you don’t trade, you earn nothing; once you trade, you should aim for three years’ worth of gains."

**Third Layer: Use mechanisms instead of emotions, enforce discipline and rules**

When losses reach 2%, close the position immediately. When profits hit 4%, start reducing the position size. Never add to losing positions to gamble on a rebound. Set rules and execute mechanically; don’t let emotions influence decisions. The highest level of making money is to let funds move freely within the rules, not be shackled by your emotions.

Having less capital is not scary; what’s scary is trying to eat the whole pie at once. The reason 1200U can grow to 38,000U is because of a system thinking that locks in risks and keeps profits running. If you’re still losing sleep over a few U of fluctuations, or don’t know how to judge real trends and control position sizes, then it’s time to calm down and learn some real skills. How to split positions, the tricks for timing, and how to grasp the rhythm—these are the core to avoiding detours.

That's right, the biggest fear for small capital is wanting to quickly turn things around, but instead accelerating a margin call. I've seen a lot of all-in plays, and they generally don't end well. I'm using the split-position strategy in three parts, which indeed helps me survive longer. Full position = seeking death, this phrase must be engraved in your mind. Sideways trading is really tough, but just relax and take it easy. Stick to discipline, ignore emotions, it's that simple. I agree that making small money into big money relies on not being greedy. Cutting 2% and reducing 4% are easier to say than to do, it takes several rounds to really get through. Those who eat everything in one bite and get fat have all ended up in the hospital. For losing sleep over a few dollars, I’ve been through it too, now I’m numb.

That's reasonable; the key is to control that greedy heart of yours.

Reliable logic is, you have to stay alive to make money --- Once again, this theory of position splitting has been heard many times, but the real question is, can anyone really stick to it? --- Is it true that 1200 can grow to 38,000, or is it just another story? --- Those who go all-in and get wiped out just want to get rich quickly. Indeed, they should learn discipline. --- Lying flat during sideways trading is well explained, but most people can't do it. --- I feel that compared to rules, the harder part is not letting emotions control you. --- A 2% cut-loss is really ruthless; how strong must one's psychological resilience be? --- For small capital, the biggest fear is losing everything in a wave of chaotic operations. This approach is worth considering. --- It sounds good in theory, but in actual operation, it still depends on luck. --- Dividing into three accounts indeed disperses risk, but how can those with little starting capital split it?

That's right, splitting positions is really a lifesaver; otherwise, I would have been liquidated and out long ago.
