Many people in the crypto world try to turn a few hundred dollars into a fortune overnight, trading daily and frequently adjusting their positions. As a result, within half a month, they get wiped out by the market, losing all their capital.

My friend's approach is completely different. Starting with 1,000 dollars, he took two months to grow his account to 37,000 dollars, without ever hitting a margin call. What is his secret to success? It’s sticking to a stable profit logic that has been tested through 5,000 dollars of real trading.

**First Trick: Position Sizing is the Key to Survival**

He divides his funds into three parts: one for intraday short-term trades, making only one trade per day and exiting after profit; another for swing trading, only acting when the potential gain exceeds 10%; and the last part is kept tightly held, not trading in good or bad markets—this is his safety fund.

Only by staying alive can he continue to make money—that’s the first iron rule.

**Second Trick: Close the Software During Sideways Markets, Wait for Clear Signals Before Re-entering**

When the market consolidates for more than 3 days, his approach is simple and straightforward—just close the trading software. Wait patiently until the price breaks below the consolidation zone or stabilizes above the moving average before reopening and making decisive moves.

Once profits reach 20% of the principal, he immediately withdraws 30% to secure gains. "Wait patiently for the right opportunity, and act with confidence"—this is another unshakable principle of his.

**Third Trick: Use Cold, Rigid Rules to Defeat Greed and Fear**

Stop-loss is always set at 2%; once reached, he cuts the position without hesitation.
When profits exceed 4%, he halves his position to lock in gains.
During losses, he never adds to losing positions or tries to recover quickly; he suppresses the urge to make up for losses.

These cold, strict rules are actually a battle against his own greed and panic.

Small capital is never the real issue; the true challenge is mindset. If you still can’t sleep over 3% fluctuations, or don’t know how to allocate funds reasonably or catch the market rhythm, I’m happy to share the experience I’ve accumulated over the years. Avoid detours, live longer, and earn more steadily.

I used to drift aimlessly in the crypto world without direction, but now I’ve finally found a stable rhythm. If you also want to learn how to live smarter, let’s discuss together.
