Many people enter the crypto world with the hope of overnight wealth, only to find themselves wiped out overnight. The reality is that 90% of people are actually not suited to make money in this market because they lack the most basic trait—trading calmly like a robot.



A fan used a principal of 1500U and three core strategies, and managed to turn it into 45,000U in just three months, without ever getting liquidated once. The logic behind this seems simple to many, but very few actually execute it consistently.

**Level 1: Positioning is the foundation for survival**

How to split 1500U? Divide it into three parts, each 500U. The first part is for intraday short-term trading—only chasing one opportunity per day, exiting immediately once the target is reached, and never greedily adding more. The second part is for swing trading—making a move once every ten days or half a month, waiting for major trend fluctuations. The third part is for the base position—regardless of market ups and downs, sitting tight as a safeguard for survival.

Compare this to full-position traders—the market drops by a certain percentage and triggers forced liquidation, with no chance to talk about profits. In the crypto world, surviving is the first lesson; doubling your capital is a secondary goal.

**Level 2: Capture confirmed trends, avoid sideways churning**

80% of the market time is spent in sideways consolidation. Frequent trading during this period is just self-consuming capital. The smart approach is to wait for a clear trend to establish before taking action. Once you act, understand the entire trend thoroughly. Another key point: realize profits promptly. When gains exceed 20%, take out 30% of the profit—this is true "safe harvesting." Experienced traders don’t trade every day; they observe long-term. Once they act, they aim to capture the entire cycle’s gains.

**Level 3: Use rules to suppress emotions**

The biggest killer in trading is emotion-driven decisions. Establish three ironclad rules: first, set a 2% stop-loss—once triggered, exit immediately, leaving no room for hesitation; second, start reducing positions at 4% profit to lock in some gains; third, prohibit adding to positions—over-averaging increases the risk of being trapped, and emotional trading destroys the entire plan.

Those who can manage their emotions well will naturally receive positive market feedback, and their capital will grow steadily according to rules, rather than fluctuating wildly with emotions.

Opportunities in the crypto world are always present; what’s scarce are those who live long enough to seize them. Are you willing to set rules for yourself?

Honestly, I've heard about this position-splitting strategy too many times; the key is to hold on and not add to your position. I was thinking of trying it out, but I still couldn't resist adding more. That fan claiming 30,000x in three months? I don't believe it; 99% of those are post-hoc rationalizations. Emotion management, huh? Easy to say, but when you're actually losing money, who can stay calm? Splitting your position into three parts is indeed a clever move; preserving capital is more reliable than dreaming of getting rich overnight. When the market is sideways, you should just stay put, but stubbornly trading anyway—no wonder you lose. A 2% stop-loss sounds easy, but psychologically, that's the hardest hurdle to overcome. This article is just selling anxiety again; life doesn't have that much discipline. $45,000 is a nice number, but who would tell the stories of those who died. Adding to your position is like a poison—you can't quit it.

That's right, full-position players are just gamblers mentality; sooner or later, they'll get liquidated. 30x in three months sounds intense, but the key is they've never been liquidated, which is remarkable. Honestly, most people can't do position sizing properly; they just want to go all-in and gamble. A 2% stop-loss sounds simple, but it's really hard to stick to when you're trembling. During sideways trading, you just have to stay idle, and this level of insight trips up a lot of people. Rules > emotions, this phrase can't be overstated. Take profits and run, it sounds so easy, but execution is hell. As long as you're alive in the crypto world, you've already won; it's tired to hear, but it's still the truth. What I admire most is the operation of reducing positions after a 4% profit, a truly capital-preserving mindset.

That's right, the key is persistence. Most people lose because of their emotions. This logic of position splitting looks simple, but it's really effective when implemented. 1500x thirty times? This guy is really ruthless. I need to remember the 2% stop-loss rule; I used to be overly optimistic. Trading in a sideways market is a waste of money, that really hit home. In front of rules, everyone is equal. Once emotions take over, everything's ruined. Hey, how many people do you think manage to seize opportunities in their lifetime? This method of position splitting definitely has a strong defensive mindset; it's much better than my previous all-in approach. Few can truly execute it; knowing is easy, doing is hard. Has anyone tried this three-layer logical approach? Emotion management is my biggest weakness; I always fall for the tricks.

This set of position splitting really has no novelty; we've been doing it this way for a long time. The key is to endure the agony of sideways trading. Going all-in and giving it away directly is the fastest way to learn in the crypto world. No matter how much you say, it's useless. Truly capable of executing a 2% stop-loss is one in a hundred. Wait, is that 1,500 to 45,000 real? Feels a bit like a story. Rules suppress emotions. It sounds right, but in practice, few can stick to it. Rather than lacking rules, it's more about lacking a resilient mindset. Are you still gambling on the market now? Aren't you tired?

Basically, it's about discipline. How many people can really resist frequent trading? I agree most with the 2% stop-loss exit rule; it's more effective than anything else. Wait, is it true that replenishing positions is prohibited? Isn't that just constantly challenging me?

Being tactful is strategy; being blunt is self-discipline. Most people can't do it.

That's right, it's all about execution. Anyone can talk about it on paper. Listening sounds easy, but how many can truly withstand sideways trading without making moves? I've been using the split position strategy for a long time, but I just can't help but want to add more haha. The story from 1500 to 45,000 is mainly about not blowing the position. As long as you're alive, you've won. Emotional management is really more important than any technical analysis. I lost because of this. I've seen too many experts talk about rules, but truly surviving by the rules is indeed rare. Sideways trading is a battle of endurance; 80% of the time is spent testing our patience. The 2% stop-loss setting is actually a bit lenient; I need to be stricter. Adding to positions is the devil; many people die right here. I'm thinking about trying the split position method, but I need to overcome the psychological barrier first.

nah the 30x story is always the same, fundamentally flawed assumption that discipline scales linearly with returns... empirically speaking most people can't even stick to 2% stops for a week lmao

That's right, but the people who can truly stick to the rules are countless. I really like this straightforward logic, without all the fancy tricks. I have deep experience with position sizing. Where are the brothers who are fully invested now? Living is a hundred times more important than making money. This phrase should be engraved in your mind. 80% of those still frequently trading in sideways markets are just fighting themselves. The ironclad rule of a 2% stop loss sounds simple, but actually implementing it is deadly. Earning a few percent daily in short-term trading or breaking even mostly depends on catching big waves. Rules constrain emotions. It's easy to say, but actually doing it tests human nature. Those who live long enough to seize opportunities—this phrase perfectly explains the current state of the crypto world.

Basically, it's a mindset issue, but 99% of people just can't overcome it. --- I've been using this position-splitting method for a long time, but most people can't stick to it for more than three months. --- I can never stick to a 2% stop-loss; I always think I can wait until I break even... --- Going from 1,500 to 45,000 is indeed impressive, but how many people dare to really follow the rules? Those are all experts when they talk about it. --- Sideways trading tests human nature the most. Every time, I keep my hand on the buy/sell button, waiting for an explosion. --- Rules are easy to talk about, but whether you can really follow through depends on human nature. --- The biggest enemy in the crypto world is really not the market, but your own greedy heart. --- It seems everyone knows these principles, but every time the market moves, they forget everything. --- Taking 30% profit at 20%? That's too conservative. I usually want to ride the entire wave of the market. --- Surviving > making big money. That's true, but some people are naturally inclined to gamble with a gambler's mentality.
