If your principal is still below 1000U, these words are worth listening to.



Many people treat the crypto world as a casino, but in fact, it’s more like a hunting ground that only disciplined people can access. The less capital you have, the more precise your strikes need to be — you’re not here to gamble, but to accumulate step by step.

I’ve seen a case where a beginner started with only 800U. At first, every order was trembling, afraid of losing all the capital in one trade. Just remember one sentence to change the outcome: "Stick to the rules, and you will survive, or even turn the tables."

After four months? The account surpassed 19,000U. Two months later, it shot up to 28,000U — all with zero liquidation, steadily climbing. This is not luck; it’s the power of discipline.

**Divide your funds into three parts**

800U is not a whole amount to use all at once; split it like this: 300U for intraday short-term trades, focusing on Bitcoin and Ethereum, taking profits decisively at 2%-4% volatility; 250U for 2 to 4-day swing trades, waiting for clear signals before acting, avoiding guesses and gambling; and finally, 250U as your bottom line, never touching it regardless of extreme market conditions — this is your chip for a comeback.

People who go all-in on a single shot get wiped out with one correction. Those who diversify can survive the turbulence and see the next wave of market moves.

**Follow the trend, don’t waste time in consolidation**

80% of the market time is spent sideways and choppy, frequent trading is just working for the exchange. Sit tight without clear signals, and act quickly when signals appear. That’s a sense of rhythm.

Take profits at 12%, withdrawing half of the gains — what’s locked in is truly yours. True experts understand this — when it’s time to stay still, stay steady like a mountain; when it’s time to strike, be as fast as lightning.

**Discipline above all**

Single trade losses should not exceed 1.2%. When in position, cut losses immediately — don’t hold onto illusions. When profits reach over 2.5%, cut your position in half to let the remaining gains run further. Never add to a losing position; the so-called "luck" will ruin your account.

Having less capital is not the problem; the real issue is the gambler’s mentality of "turning things around in one shot." From 800U to 28,000U, it’s not about talent or luck, but about rule enforcement, patience, and understanding volatility.

Many people aren’t lacking effort; they just can’t find the right direction. Markets keep cycling, opportunities wait for no one — master these methods, and you can break through the difficulties and seize your chance.

800U to 28,000U, in simple terms, means not wasting time on useless fluctuations. The position management discipline really hits the mark.

800 to 28,000, it's really not luck; discipline is the hard truth. I'm currently practicing this, and the biggest fear is trembling hands causing random cuts.

The story from 800 to 28,000 has worn out my ears, but the key point is—living to see the next market wave. What I fear most are those with all their funds in, a single correction and it's game over. Honestly, discipline is truly the only moat.

800U flipped to 28000U, the key is still mindset. Without discipline, you're just giving money to the exchange.

How many really take discipline seriously? Most still dream of a big turnaround.

nah the position sizing part actually tracks... back in my mining days i'd just yolo everything and wonder why my hashrate couldn't save me lol. the psychology here hits different when you're running gas fee calculations on every trade tbh. 800 to 28k sounds sus but the discipline logic? that's scalable fr fr

Splitting positions is really difficult. It sounds easy to say, but actually doing it makes my hands tremble. Going from 800 to 28,000 sounds great, but why is it so hard to implement?
