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.
