Anyone who steps into the crypto world can hardly escape the allure of "getting rich quickly." But my experience of turning 1500U into 2 millionU taught me that the most profound lesson isn't how much money I made, but: to achieve big gains, you must first stick to the bottom line of "not making reckless moves."

My starting point was very ordinary — I only had 1500U, neither a wealthy big player nor a seasoned veteran with special skills, just a typical retail investor. Now, my account has surpassed 1 millionU.

You might think it's exaggerated, but it's a real story. The key is that I never obsess over "how much can I earn this wave," only ask myself "should I move now or not." This simple self-questioning method allowed me to gradually grow my principal. How did I do it? The entire system revolves around three stages.

**Stage One: Small-scale Testing**
Divide 1500U into 5 parts, each 300U. Strictly set stop-loss and take-profit levels each time, never chase trades, never hold on stubbornly, never gamble against the trend — only engage in opportunities I understand clearly.

**Stage Two: Trend-following Position Increase**
After the account reaches 50,000U, control single-trade size at about 25% of total funds. When the market moves with the trend, I add positions in batches, capturing the most profitable middle segment of the trend.

**Stage Three: Regular Profit Withdrawal**
Once the account exceeds 200,000U, start locking in some profits weekly. Not out of fear of loss, but to prevent overconfidence. Stability is the real secret to explosive gains.

Most people blow up their accounts for these reasons: chaotic position management, holding stubbornly without stop-loss, correctly predicting the trend but exiting due to stubbornly holding onto losing trades.

A friend of mine who went from 800U to 12,000U just withdrew yesterday, so excited he couldn’t sleep all night. This is the result of sticking to the right method. In the crypto market, one person's strength is limited; finding the right community, getting first-hand information, and following the right direction are the practical paths to success.

Basically, it's about exiting alive and not chasing that last limit-up. Can this wave really make money? I'm asking if I’m suited for it. From 1500 to 1 million, it sounds comfortable, but I care more about how many times I can hold on without moving. Stop-loss is easy to talk about; when you're truly losing money, who doesn't want to hold on and endure? In the circle of following trends, more information often leads to being led astray. Withdrawing funds regularly is real, and it's better than having nothing when dreams shatter. Not chasing orders is the hardest part; when your hands itch, you're most likely to mess up. I laughed when I saw a friend go from 800 to 12,000. The question is, how long did it take to stabilize? Position management relies on self-discipline, but self-discipline is usually most valuable at the moment of loss.

It's the same old story again, turning 1500 into 2 million. Why haven't I seen you live streaming your trades? Stop-loss and take-profit are easy to talk about; the hard part is the mindset. This point isn't mentioned at all in the article. Adding positions in batches sounds good, but in reality, many people end up getting more deeply trapped because they spread out their costs. The key is how you know which wave to "move" and which wave to "not move," that's the real skill, right? Every day on social media, there are screenshots like this, but how many actually make money? Regular withdrawals are indeed correct; otherwise, the account balance would just be paper wealth. No hype, no blackening; this is just how the crypto circle operates. There are always more people listening to stories than actually making money.

Basically, it's still about not managing stop-loss and take-profit well; that's where many people get trapped. From 1500 to 1 million sounds exciting, but the key is who can really stay unmoved. Wait, how does this brother know his friend went from 800U to 12,000? Feels like the information is a bit mixed up. Adding positions in batches sounds easy to say, but when the market moves in the opposite direction, does your mentality really hold up? Regular withdrawals are indeed reliable; otherwise, the paper gains will only make people more arrogant.

Sounds good, but I really want to know how this 1500U can survive the first crash? Stop-loss sounds simple, but how many people are willing to press it when they are really losing money? This theory works in a bull market, anyone can make money, but the real test is in a bear market. I've learned about adding positions in batches, but I still got caught and lost everything, maybe I'm too slow to understand. I agree with withdrawing funds, otherwise the mentality will really explode. Seeing the numbers go up makes me want to go all in. Basically, it's about restraining desires, but this is the hardest part. The people who boast the most in social circles are none of them still around now.

It's easy to say, but the key is to survive. Most people die chasing trades and greed; this guy understands that stop-loss is the real key. It sounds unbelievable—1500x to 2 million? I believe it, but only if it's truly disciplined trading, not survivor bias in a memoir-style recount. Position management sounds simple, but in practice, it can drive you crazy. Controlling desires is sometimes harder than reading the right trend. The weekly withdrawal strategy is brilliant; otherwise, the profits are just lost again. That’s the gap in psychological resilience. If you can't hold the stop-loss line, all the big market moves are wasted. I've seen too many people fall here. Everyone understands the principles, but execution is the real dividing line. The problem is most people simply can't decide "Should I move now?"—they only think about "How much can I make."
