Don't be scared by the stories of losing money in the crypto world. I've been in this market for 8 years, and growing my account to 38 million isn't due to being chosen by luck or fate, but because I follow a systematic approach. The crypto space can indeed be profitable, but absolutely not through emotional and reckless operations. It requires a tested and proven system.
I have a fan who best illustrates the point. Initially, he only had 1500U, with no overnight riches story, but he used a clear strategy and managed to grow it to 26,000U in just three months. Throughout the process, his account never experienced a margin call, risk control was always in place, and profits accumulated step by step. Now, his account remains stable above 53,000U.
Behind these results are three core logics that took me from 5,000U to financial freedom.
**Level 1: Position Sizing — Survive to Make Money**
The most common way to fail is to bet everything at once. This is how I allocated his funds: split the 1500U into three parts, each 500U.
The first part is for intraday trading, closely monitoring the market, taking profits when targets are hit, and then exiting—no greed. The second part is for swing trading, only acting once every ten days or half a month, and capitalizing on big moves when opportunities arise. The third part is the core holding, which stays untouched regardless of market fluctuations—this is the capital for future turnaround.
Most people go all-in right away, and when they hit a loss, they get margin called out, never fully understanding the market, so how can they talk about making money?
Crypto markets spend nearly 80% of the time sideways. During these times, frequent trading is like throwing money away. The smart move is to patiently wait during sideways periods until a clear trend forms before taking action.
When profits reach 20%, lock in a third of the gains—don’t think you can keep eating profits forever. Market experts don’t trade every day; they only take positions when they are confident of capturing a good move.
**Level 3: Rules to Govern the Mind — Use Discipline to Eliminate Emotions**
The biggest enemy in trading is your own feelings. Therefore, rules must be set in stone beforehand: set a stop-loss at 2%, and cut when hit—no luck-based thinking. When profits reach 4%, start reducing positions to lock in some gains. Even if you lose money, never add to losing positions—this only deepens the trap.
Write these rules in advance and follow them systematically during trading. Don’t let emotions interfere with account decisions.
This strategy isn’t some black technology; it’s about risk diversification, precise execution, and maintaining a stable mindset. When used well, even small accounts can grow on platforms like top-tier exchanges.

Sounds good, but very few people can truly stick to this discipline.
That's what they say, but most people panic when prices drop.
Position sizing is indeed the key to survival; going all-in is really playing with fire.
I think the key is still "don't be greedy"; these two words are the hardest to follow.
That's correct, but the patience during sideways trading is the biggest test.
Three months from 1500U to 26,000, that number sounds pretty impressive.
The rule of controlling the mind is something you have to accept; emotions are the biggest money-losing machine.
Too many beginners blow up their accounts with full positions; this method is actually just common sense.

The partitioned system is well explained, but most people can't implement it... Honestly, it looks simple but few can stick with it.

The concept of position sizing does have some truth to it, but honestly, making money is only possible if you're alive; it's not some secret trick.
I have to criticize the 2% stop-loss rule—market gaps often can't be reacted to in time.
People who go all-in are called foolish, and that's true to some extent, but few can recover from a margin call; this guy is quite tough.
Wait... three months from 1,500 to 53,000? What kind of market conditions would that require?
Regarding emotions, you're right, but for most people, writing rules and following rules are two different things.

Positioning, stop-loss, mindset—it's all true, but how many people can truly stick with it?

The partitioned system is well explained, but it's easier to talk about this stuff than to actually do it. Most people still can't control their hands.

I'm a bit confused about the partitioned system. Can it really be enforced strictly? Most people can't hold back when they see the market soaring together.

The logic of position splitting is indeed correct, but to be honest, not many people stick with it. Most people just go all-in after a wave of market movement lifts them up.
