Traders with less than 1200U in capital are most prone to one common mistake: impatience. Instead of obsessing over how to get rich overnight, it's better to first learn how to survive.

A friend started with 1500U and turned it into 61,000U in two months, all while avoiding liquidation and crashes. Many think this is luck, but behind it are only three strategies. They may sound unremarkable, but executing them can save most people three years of detours.

**First Strategy: Position Sizing is a Hard Rule**

1200U must be divided into three parts, each 400U:
- Quick trades within the day (at most one trade per day)
- Swing trades (move only once every half month)
- The safety net (room to recover if losses occur)

Full position trading, to put it bluntly, is akin to seeking death.

**Second Strategy: Only Trade Clear Trends**

Sideways markets are a breeding ground for losses; 80% of losses are buried here. When the trend isn't clear, better to stay idle than to trade blindly. No trend, no position. This may sound like wasting time, but it actually saves the most time. Trends don't appear every day, but your account is active every day.

**Third Strategy: Treat Stop-Loss and Position Reduction as Eating**

Cut losses at 2%, just like everyday expenses—stay calm. Take half of the gains at 4% and lock it in. When profits exceed 20% of the capital, immediately transfer 30% to your bank card. One more time: never add to a losing position; this is the main reason 90% of people can't turn their fortunes around. No gambling, no holding on, no illusions of "pulling it back."

What’s the result? That friend’s account has now exceeded 100,000U. More importantly, he no longer needs to stare at K-line charts overnight. Just ten minutes a day, then clock out and go home.

If you want to turn things around in the crypto world, remember this: your capital must stay alive before talking about doubling. Position sizing, timing, and risk control—these methods may not give you adrenaline, but they give you a chance to survive longer. True speed often requires slowing down first.
