Many beginners enter the market with the idea of doubling their money quickly, but the result is either getting stopped out by a sudden dip or holding on until liquidation. I’ve seen accounts wiped out in two weeks, and I’ve also personally guided others to steadily grow their small capital. Starting with 1200U and rolling it over to 25,000U in a month, and now maintaining a stable account above 38,000U, without ever getting liquidated. The core secret boils down to these points—suitable for those willing to take it slow.

**Step 1: Divide your money into three parts**

Having a small principal isn’t scary; going all-in is deadly. My only bottom-line rule is: never let a single trade cut off your backup.

The first part, 400U, is for intraday short-term trading. Focus on one opportunity, aiming for quick profits of 3%-5%. Take profit and close the software. Don’t try to make several moves in a day; markets are full of opportunities. The real winner is the one who can keep the principal until tomorrow.

The second part, 400U, is for swing trading. Wait for key levels on the daily chart to break or bottom out, enter with a stop-loss, and aim for mid-level gains of over 10%. Don’t pre-emptively guess the bottom; wait for market confirmation before following.

The third part, 400U, is always locked away. This is your "resurrection fund." No matter how tempting the market, don’t touch it. Many people go all-in or add to positions out of red-eyed loss, only to be wiped out in one wave. With this money, you always have a chance to turn things around.

The core idea is: three parts of your money do three different things, and your account always has a backup. If the first two parts are wiped out, the third still allows you to start over.

**Step 2: Choose your trading times**

Most of the time in crypto is sideways consolidation. Opening trades randomly during this period just costs exchange fees. My simple experience:

If BTC consolidates for more than 3 days, I close the app and take a break. No breakout, no matter how strong, is safe in a choppy market. Instead of fighting sideways, wait patiently for a real trend signal.

Trade only in two situations: one, a clear volume breakout; two, a volume rebound at a strong support level. Only when these signals appear is it worth placing an order. Otherwise, do nothing. During the waiting process, your account can still grow steadily.

**Final words**

The core of this method isn’t about complex techniques but about mindset and discipline. Admit when you can’t predict the market, accept missing some opportunities. This actually helps you survive longer. Most liquidations happen not because of wrong direction but because of holding on too long, adding leverage, and not using stop-losses. Avoid these three pitfalls, and everything else is just a matter of time.
