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.

Hmm... this position management is indeed more solid and much more reliable than my previous all-in approach.

Haha, this is the difference between discipline and gambling. It looks simple, but the hardest part is actually execution.

honestly the discipline part hits different. been accumulating for years, and like mile 20 of an ultra—most people blow up before they even hit the wall. risk management separates the marathon runners from the sprint-and-crash crowd fr

Hmm... a 60% win rate with a monthly profit of 1100U, I believe in this math, but how many can truly stick to this discipline?
---
Every time I see posts like this, I want to ask, have you ever really endured a single loss?
---
Splitting funds into tiny pieces is a brilliant move; always keeping bullets is indeed the key to survival.
---
Compared to those bragging about earning thousands of dollars daily, this low-profile compound interest approach is actually more intimidating.
---
It sounds good, but the real challenge is whether you can truly stay still when the price drops 20%... that’s the hardest part.
---
These three rules sound simple, but can you really follow all of them in real trading? I trust your 43-day track record, but I feel the harder part is the next 43 days.
---
Avoid chasing huge profits and aim for small wins; this mindset is completely opposite to what most rookies think.

Alright, this kind of position management really traps the gambler's mentality. I was saved by this way of thinking; staying alive is more important than anything else.
I haven't bet my life once.
