Have you heard of someone turning 600U into 200,000U in three months? At first glance, it sounds like a fairy tale, but it actually happened.

Last year, I knew a beginner who started with just this much capital. In the beginning, he was so nervous during trading that he was afraid one decision would wipe out his principal. But later, he followed a systematic approach, and within a month, his account grew to 6,000U. Two months later, it broke through 200,000U. Throughout the process, he never experienced a margin call.

Some say it was luck. But I don’t see it that way. After talking in depth, I realized that his persistence was based on three ironclad rules—

**First: Diversify your funds, don’t go all-in**

Split 600 dollars into three parts, 200 each. The first part is for short-term trades, focusing only on major coins, taking profits of 3% to 5% and then exiting decisively; the second part is for swing trading, holding for a few days when the opportunity is right, prioritizing stability; the third part is the most critical—this is for survival, no matter how bullish the market, don’t touch it.

You’ll find that traders who last long are never those who go all-in. Those who bet everything at once might get excited when they win, but crash when they lose. Those who survive long have already left themselves an escape route.

**Second: Follow the trend, avoid choppy markets**

Most of the time in crypto, there’s a lot of chaos. When there’s no clear direction, reckless trading is just giving money to the exchange. Don’t trade without a confirmed signal—sit tight and wait.

Interestingly, he did exactly that—when he earned 12%, he immediately took out half of the profit. Only when the money was in his pocket did it count. This discipline allowed him to consistently make steady profits. Don’t chase highs, don’t be greedy, wait when it’s time, take profits when it’s right. Most people can’t do this, but those who do are winners.

**Third: Rules first, emotions second**

Limit each trade to a maximum loss of 2% of your principal. When hitting the stop-loss, cut your losses—don’t hope for a rebound. When earning 4%, reduce your position by half, letting the remaining profit run. The biggest mistake is adding to a losing position, trying to lower the average cost—that’s just psychological comfort.

No one can predict the market perfectly every time, but everyone can operate within a set of rules. The secret to making money is simple—use rules to keep your impulses in check.

The biggest trap for small funds is the illusion of a quick turnaround. But real doubling always comes from a combination of rules and patience. That brother managed to grow from 600U to 200,000U this way. No shortcuts, only discipline.
