Many people in the crypto world have shared the same dream—getting rich overnight. But let me pour some cold water: the more you want to get rich quickly, the more you need to control your hands.

I'm not a second-generation rich kid, nor do I have large funds backing me; I'm just an ordinary trader figuring things out on my own. Starting with a few thousand USD, now my account has stabilized at a certain scale. This journey wasn't driven by luck but by discipline. The key is— I never chase how much a single move can make, I only ask whether I should do this trade or not.

**How did I get started? I break down my experience into three stages:**

**Stage 1: Position Control and Practice (Starting with 1000U)**

Divide your funds into 5 parts, each 200U. Sounds conservative? Exactly, this is the foundation for survival.

Every trade must have stop-loss and take-profit settings. No chasing, no resisting, no betting against the trend—only take opportunities you understand. Many start with full positions right away, and a single setback knocks them out. My logic is: survive first, then make money.

**Stage 2: Profit Scaling (After account exceeds 10,000U)**

Start with 10,000U, risk per trade controlled at about 25% of the total position. The logic here is: the strategy has been validated in the early stage, now it’s about riding the middle, golden part of the trend.

When a trend moves favorably, add to your position in batches. Not all-in at once, but gradually entering after confirming the trend. This way, you can participate fully in the market while maintaining the ability to exit at any time.

**Stage 3: Take Profits and Withdraw (After account exceeds 200,000U)**

The crucial part—lock in some profits weekly and withdraw. Not because I’m afraid of losing, but because I tend to get carried away easily. When I get carried away, I tend to increase position size and leverage, which can lead to liquidation.

Stability is the biggest secret to huge profits. It may sound boring, but this is what allows the longest survival in the market.

**Why does this method work? Look at the common mistakes of those who get wiped out:**

Most liquidations happen for these reasons:
- Poorly managed positions, no control at all
- Never set stop-loss, fight to the bitter end when losing
- Correctly identify the trend but get wiped out by resisting the trade

I’ve communicated with a trader who went from 600U to 22,000U in three months and just withdrew a few days ago. He was so excited during our chat because he finally believed—trading is not gambling, it follows patterns.

So what is the core of this strategy? **Survive first, then make big money.** Those who last in this market will eventually make a lot of money. Those who disappear usually die in the first two stages—either their positions blow up or their mentality collapses.

If you’re still losing money now, it’s not because you’re wrong about the direction; it’s likely because, even if you see the right trend, you fail at execution. To change your trading results, start by changing your trading discipline.
