I haven't bet my life once.
Starting capital was only 2000U, essentially the last of my belongings after a big loss. I know very well that if I mess up again, this money will be gone too.
So I only do one thing: minimize the risk to keep the account alive.
**The core is a set of position management rules**
**Step 1: Divide the funds**
Split 2000U into 5 parts, each 400U. What's the benefit of this? At any time, only one position is open, no adding to positions, no full exposure. Always keep 4 bullets in the account. If caught in a drawdown, you can still buy the dip; if you suffer continuous losses, you can turn around. Strictly suppress your leverage desire—survival is the top priority.
**Step 2: Set a profit-loss ratio first**
Set a stop-loss at 3%, with a maximum loss of 12U per trade. Set take-profit between 6-10%, with at least 24U profit per trade. Honestly, no one can predict the market precisely, but you can control the win-loss ratio. I don’t chase huge profits; as long as small wins compound, time will help you create miracles.
**Data doesn’t lie**
In about 70 trades over a month, with roughly 60% win rate. Calculations:
- 28 losing trades: 28 × (-12U) = -336U
- 42 winning trades: 42 × (+35U) ≈ +1470U
- Net profit: 1100U+
Doubling the principal is just a matter of time. It’s not genius trading math, but the power of probability.
**The 3 disciplines I strictly follow**
1️⃣ Always set a stop-loss for each trade, never hold through a loss
2️⃣ Exit when the target is reached, don’t be greedy
3️⃣ Only trade familiar models (I focus on breakout structures)
No watching the screen constantly, no chasing rallies, no fighting the market. Trading is like chess; the highest skill is often "not moving"—because moving when you shouldn’t is how you give away money.
**Most people lose money not because of technique**
Position chaos leads to explosion; fighting against the trend to the last moment ends in zero; even with the right direction, profits are hard to hold. Shouting for a turnaround but still operating in a way that keeps losing money—that’s the essence of a gambler versus a trader.
I don’t bet on market direction; I bet whether discipline can be executed properly. Those who can stick to discipline can start with 1000U and succeed; those who mess around will lose 10,000U just the same.
**43 days, turning 2000U into 60,000U — it’s not luck**
This is the result of switching from a "gambler mode" to a "trading mode." The market never lacks opportunities; what’s missing is the ability to survive until the next one.
Ultimately, the competition in cryptocurrency trading is a competition of self-discipline. Those who know the method and those who mess around, the difference is like heaven and earth.
