The old saying in the crypto circle, changed: The more you think about quick turnaround, the faster you die.
If your current trading amount is still below 1500U, I want to give you a piece of advice first—
Don’t greedily aim for doubling, learn to survive first.
A story from two years ago. A friend started trading with 1200U, with no fancy operations, and didn’t catch any explosive rallies. Four months later, his account steadily grew to 25,000U.
He never blew up his position, and his mindset never collapsed.
When asked for his secret? He just smiled and said: it’s one word—"Steady."
This "steadiness" happened to save him.
**Step 1: Don’t put all your eggs in one basket**
The 1200U capital allocation is simple and straightforward:
Divide into three parts.
400U for intraday trading, at most one order per day, cut losses immediately if wrong;
400U dedicated to swing opportunities, which may only appear once every ten or fifteen days;
The remaining 400U stays in the account, called "life-saving fund." Not for earning, but for "living."
From day one, it was set: never go all-in on any trade.
All-in? That’s not courage, that’s a gambler’s mentality.
**Step 2: Only trade when you have confidence in the trend**
He has three strict rules:
If the chart is sideways and oscillating? Do nothing.
If the direction is unclear? Do nothing.
If relying solely on gut feeling and luck? Even more do nothing.
Do you know what the real cause of a trader’s death is? Not being caught in a trend reversal, but blowing up in the illusion of "I think it’s about to move."
His logic is simple: if you don’t understand it, don’t trade.
Making money is secondary; survival is the top priority.
**Step 3: Embed rules into your trading system**
All operational logic is pre-programmed:
Maximum loss per trade is 2% of the account;
When profit reaches 4%, immediately halve the position and exit;
If the account gains over 20%, take out 30% of the profit immediately;
Never add to losing positions, no matter how tempting.
He once said something I remember very clearly: "What truly destroys an account is never the loss of a single trade, but the obsession of 'I must recover it.'"
Now his account has exceeded 50,000U.
More importantly, he no longer stays up late watching the charts, nor chases market trends or news. Opening the app once a day to check key support levels is enough. Trade when needed, close the app when not.
**Final words**
If you want to survive steadily in this market, remember this:
Capital is like a lifeline; once lost, everything is gone. Doubling depends on surviving first.
Diversify positions, be patient, control the pace strictly—sounds less exciting, but this is the real way to avoid three years of detours.
Want to get rich quickly? The most ironic truth in crypto is: the fastest way is actually to learn how to slow down first.

To be honest, I knew this methodology a long time ago, but the problem is that it's really too difficult to execute. Watching others double their holdings in three days while I'm still "stuck," my mindset collapses even faster than a margin call.

That's right, going all-in is just asking for trouble, and I do it too.

nah this "stay alive first" narrative is exactly what they want retail to believe while whales manipulate the orderbook. your friend's 2.5x in 4 months? that's pocket change when institutions are extracting MEV on every transaction. the real dark forest is that position sizing doesn't matter if you're getting sandwiched on every trade anyway.

You're right, people who are in a hurry to double their money do die quickly. I have people like that around me.

Really, if you can't understand it, don't touch this one, I give up. So many people just die because of the feeling of "I feel it's about to rise."

Really, those who are fully invested all ended up badly; I've seen too many cases. Just a couple of days ago, I saw someone in the group go all in on SOL and it directly exploded, no way to laugh.
