Let me tell you some real talk: if your principal is still less than 2000U, the most urgent thing now is not to dream of doubling your money, but to avoid losing it all first.



Recently, I guided a friend who started with 1000U and in two months reached just over 40,000. No liquidation, no staying up all night watching the charts to break down. Do you know what he relied on? Not fancy tricks, but a set of "ugly but sustainable" strategies.

**Key Point 1: Money must be used separately**
Don’t pile all 1000U together—
Part of it for short-term trades, at most one order per day
Part of it waiting for swing opportunities, taking action every ten days or half a month
The remaining part is an emergency fund, no matter how tempting the market is, don’t touch it

Full position trading is never about courage; that’s called courting death.

**Key Point 2: Only engage in the most certain markets**
Be patient during sideways movements, stay out when the direction is unclear. Markets don’t move every day, but your principal is there every day. Instead of chasing highs and selling lows, it’s better to pass up some opportunities—missing out is better than getting trapped.

**Key Point 3: Lock in your rules, don’t let emotions lead**
Set your stop-loss levels firmly, small losses are normal costs
Take profits by cutting half your position when you’re in the green
If your account is growing significantly, withdraw the money immediately
Never add to a losing position—this is a trap most people can never escape.

What happened later? His account now exceeds 100,000. Even more impressive—he doesn’t need to stare at the screen all the time, let alone stay up all night.

Here’s a piece of advice: as long as your principal isn’t dead, you still have the right to talk about growth. Diversify, pace yourself, manage risk—these may not sound exciting, but they can help you avoid pitfalls for years. The fastest routes in the crypto world often require slowing down first before moving forward.

That's quite right, but very few people can actually achieve position splitting. I've already failed several times just by not blindly adding to my position; the losses are devastating.

That’s so true, going all-in is just asking for death—this phrase really hit me. Really, with a small capital, you have to stay alive to make money. The split-position strategy is indeed unbeatable; I’m doing it this way right now. But the hardest part is patience; sideways trading really tests your patience, brother. I’ve fallen into the trap of adding to positions; never touch that again. Watching others go all-in and double their money while I steadily grow with split positions—such a huge difference in mindset. The key is not staying up all night; that’s really how you make money. Having a small amount of money and staying alive is the biggest win.

You're not wrong, but I bet that next month someone will ask, "Why did I get wiped out with a full position again..."
