Many people see my account grow to the million-level and want to know the secret. To be honest, starting with 1200U is nothing special; the key is those "slow and steady" disciplines.
I still remember how I entered the market back then—carrying 1200 yuan, with dreams of "turning things around in one shot." Two weeks later, I got wiped out. The painful lesson made me realize: this market doesn't need gamblers, it needs survivors.
**Position Sizing Determines How Long You Survive**
The biggest insight over the past few years is—don't put all your chips in at once.
Even if I only have 500U, I only use 200U to explore. The remaining 300U is like health points, kept in reserve. What's the benefit of doing this? Your mindset changes completely. Less of that reckless "pushing all in" mentality, more clarity that "you need to survive longer to make money."
My basic formula is simple:
- 500U as a base position, unchanged
- Use 200U with 20x leverage to generate 10,000 firepower
- Single-loss limit is 100U; if exceeded, cut
- Take profits at 500U and stop, no greed
By maintaining a risk-reward ratio of 5:1—losing 100U on a mistake, but netting 400U on a win. Over time, your account will naturally climb. Those who mock me as "too timid"? Most of them blow up within three months.
**The Market Doesn't Need to Be Active Every Moment**
The biggest trap in trading is being restless. Wanting to operate on everything you see, but frequent trading just means frequent losses.
My current habit is: only trade "understood" setups. What does that mean? It means this wave has clear support and resistance levels, and I know if it breaks those lines, I must cut. Not blindly follow the trend and regret when I lose everything.
Most of the time, the market is just ineffective oscillation. Instead of acting recklessly then, it's better to wait quietly like a hunter. When the opportunity truly appears, your mindset and capital are still intact, and you can seize it.
**Stop-Loss Is a Protective Charm, Never Just an Ornament**
This is the most critical point. I once lost at most 50U on a single trade; I cut at the line and never fought on. Many think this is frustrating, but I ask: do you want to blow up quickly to appear "brave," or do you want to survive longer?
Trading isn't about who earns faster; it's about who survives longer. Small wounds, if not stopped promptly, can turn into major bleeding. The market always offers opportunities, but if your account blows up, it's over.
**The Money in Hand Is Real Money**
Floating profits are like a mirage—beautiful but can vanish suddenly. My approach is: once the account reaches 3000U, I immediately withdraw 500U to a cold wallet. Some say this is too conservative, but I never think so.
Having a safety net in mind gives a completely different trading mindset. It prevents you from pushing already realized profits back in for a "big move."
A more systematic approach is: whenever profits increase by 50%, withdraw 25% and store it away. This way, the account keeps growing while risks are gradually transferred.
**Four Hearts and Three Heart Demons**
The biggest test in the crypto world is psychological resilience. I’ve summarized four hearts:
First is a calm mind. Don’t get overly excited when profitable, don’t panic when losing. Market fluctuations are normal; the calmer your mind, the more you earn.
Second is patience. Wait for high-confidence opportunities, don’t chase every trend.
Third is decisiveness. Enter decisively when it’s time, cut decisively when needed. Indecision is poison in trading.
Fourth is independent thinking. Block out the noise from the circle, trust your analysis.
At the same time, eliminate three major demons: greed, fear, and hesitation. Greed makes people over-leverage, fear causes reckless cutting, hesitation makes you miss the best stop-loss moments.
**Can 1000U Double?**
Many ask me this. My answer is straightforward: whether it can double depends on your discipline. Without discipline, no matter how much money you have, you’ll lose it. With discipline, repeatedly rolling 1000U over three to five years can reach a million—it's all about probability.
Crypto isn’t a casino; it’s a battlefield. Gamblers rely on luck, warriors rely on systems. Follow this rhythm for 30 days, and your account will give you the answer.
Taking it slow really doesn’t matter. Stability is what takes you further.
