Everyone who comes to the crypto world wants to get rich overnight, and I can understand that. But after rolling 1000U to over 1 million U, I realized: the true ability to make money lies not in how much you can earn in each market wave, but in clearly judging whether you should take action.

The starting point was very ordinary, with a principal of 1000U, a standard retail investor's allocation. Now the account has surpassed one million, not because I have any secrets, but because I have developed a habit - whenever an opportunity arises, the first question I ask is not "How much can I earn?" but "Can I understand this wave?"

This simple Q&A helped me grow my small account into what it is now. How did I do it? I divided the whole thought process into three stages.

**Phase One: Foundation of Position Control**

Divide 1000 yuan into 5 parts, with each part being 200, and operate on each order individually. I start practicing with mainstream coins like BTC, strictly setting stop-loss and take-profit for each order. No chasing high prices, no holding on stubbornly, no fighting against the trend—only trade in directions I can understand. The goal in this phase is not to make a fortune, but to develop discipline.

**Phase Two: Profit Reinvestment**

When the account grows to 50,000, control a single position at about 25% of the total capital. When varieties like ETH have a clear upward momentum, I will increase my position in batches, capturing the golden segments of the middle phase. I don't greedily chase daily increases; instead, I focus on the middle part of the trend, when risks are actually the most manageable.

**Third Stage: Take the Profit**

After the account exceeds 200,000, I will lock a portion of the profits for withdrawal every week. This is not about fearing losses, but rather cooling down my mindset. After you earn a certain amount, the easiest mistake to make is to become complacent. Stability, in fact, is the greatest profit.

**People who get liquidated usually die at these points:**

Lack of position planning relies entirely on gut feeling; the stop-loss line is practically nonexistent, and a loss means a dead loss; or one might correctly predict the direction but stubbornly resist a rebound, turning profits into losses. I've seen too many people fall into these three traps.

A fan followed my rhythm and grew from 800U to 12,000. A few days ago, they were so excited to withdraw that they couldn't sleep. This is why I always emphasize: in this market, one person's power is too limited. If you are still trading in the dark, lacking firsthand market information and a mature decision-making framework, the most practical approach is to find a reliable direction. If someone has already shown you where the pitfalls are, don’t step on them again. It is indeed much more realistic to get to shore together than to fumble around alone.
