Newcomers entering the crypto world are often dazzled by dreams of getting rich quickly, but little do they know that most people fail along the way. What I want to say is that if you want to survive and make money in this market, blindly rushing in is a guaranteed dead end.

When I first started playing, I didn’t have much capital—only about 1500U in my account. My hands trembled when placing my first orders—because the principal was too small, and a slight mistake could wipe it all out. But precisely because I was poor, I developed a cautious habit. In four months, my account grew to over 80,000U, and in another two months, it doubled to 200,000U. The entire process involved zero liquidation—this is not luck, but a complete set of operational logic.

**Tip 1: Diversify allocation and keep your cards close**

Divide the initial 1200U into three parts, each 400U, operating independently. The first part is for intraday trading, focusing only on short-term fluctuations of BTC and ETH. When the price moves 2%-4%, close the position immediately—never try to squeeze the last bit of profit. The second part is for swing trading, waiting for clear signals before acting. The holding period is usually a few days, and the key is to be steady. The third part stays in the account as insurance, the capital for turning things around. Look at those who go all-in—when the market rises happily, they start dreaming; when it dips a little, they panic. Such people definitely won’t last long.

**Tip 2: Follow the trend and take profits promptly**

Most of the time, the market is sideways. When there’s no clear direction, don’t move—just watch. Once a trend truly forms, then decisively follow it. The key is to take some profits when you’re in the green, putting real gains into your pocket, rather than waiting to be caught off guard. I use this approach—avoiding chasing rallies and not overanalyzing—gradually building my principal.

**Tip 3: Stick to the rules and ignore emotions**

The maximum loss per trade is 1.2%. Once triggered, exit immediately—no luck-based thinking. When profits exceed 2.5%, reduce your position by half, letting the rest run. Never add to a losing position; admit mistakes when they happen. The core secret of crypto trading isn’t about always predicting the market correctly, but about obeying the rules every time.

From 1200U to 200,000U, that’s all I can say: using 1500U of capital, relying on rules and discipline, not luck.
