$LIGHT Starting from practical cases, I have deconstructed a core methodology for fund management. This is not market prediction, nor a call-for-trades show, but a real path of growing an account from small capital.

A newcomer to the crypto world started with 1800U as initial capital, and after three months, it grew to 69,000U. Now the account has surpassed 230,000U, and it has never been liquidated during the process. This is not luck; there are three layers of solid logic supporting it.

**First Layer: The "Triangle Division" Rule of Funds**

Full position is the common tombstone of liquidation in the crypto market. Divide 1800U into three independent accounts of 600U each:

Intraday Trading Special — 600U used for intraday volatility, targeting one opportunity per day. When the price hits the predetermined level, close the position and refuse greed. This part aims for stable, small-frequency gains.

Swing Trading Special — another 600U allocated for swing trades, which may remain inactive for ten days or half a month, but once triggered, aim for substantial profit margins. This is the mid-term profit reservoir.

Bottom-line Recovery Fund — the last 600U is completely frozen, not involved in any trading. This is the safety line and a turnaround mechanism when the other two accounts encounter unexpected issues.

Most people blow up their accounts because they put all their chips on one bet. Surviving is the prerequisite for talking about profit.

**Second Layer: The "Thick Profit Only Eat" Principle of Trading Rhythm**

The reality of the crypto market is: about 80% of the time, the market is in sideways consolidation. Moving recklessly equals bleeding. The correct approach is to stay strictly on the sidelines during consolidation until a clear trend signal appears before entering.

Timing profit realization is equally critical. When gains exceed 20% of the principal, immediately take out 30% of the profit. This may seem conservative, but it actually minimizes risk—because the account principal is protected, and the remaining part is the real betting chips.

True experts follow the rhythm of "Don’t open a position unless necessary; once opened, hold for three years" — precisely choosing opportunities and sticking to them once engaged.

**Third Layer: Automated Execution, Emotions as the Primary Killer**

Set strict rules and execute according to the plan:

When losses reach a -3% limit, cut losses immediately, leaving no room for luck.

When profits reach +5%, proactively reduce some positions and lock in gains.

Prohibit adding positions during a loss streak — this is the easiest way to blow up.

The highest level of making money is letting the funds run themselves, rather than being driven by emotional fluctuations. After setting the rules, execution is where the gap is widened.

**From 1800U to 230,000U, what is it relying on?**

It’s not luck; it’s this systematic approach that locks in risks and lets profits run. Small capital itself is not scary; what’s scary is still dreaming of eating a big meal in one bite. These three logical layers — fund division, thick profit selection, machine-like execution — form a complete closed loop from account protection to profit explosion.

For traders still exploring in the crypto market, these experiences may shorten the learning curve. Mastering position control, understanding trend judgment, and grasping the scale of adding or reducing positions often help avoid years of detours compared to peers.
