From 1200U to 50,000U! A crypto trader doubled their principal in just 3 months, all while avoiding liquidation throughout the process. Behind this success story is not luck, but a proven trading methodology.



For traders with limited capital, how can they survive and profit in a constantly fluctuating market? This trader summarized three core strategies.

**Step 1: Discipline in Capital Allocation**

Divide the capital into three equal parts, each worth 400U, with specific purposes. The short-term trading portion is strictly controlled—no more than 2 trades per day, focusing on precision rather than quantity. The mid-term portion follows a simple principle: avoid chasing volatility or rebound trades; only act when clear major trend signals appear. The remaining 400U serves as "insurance funds," allowing you to retain your principal even in extreme market conditions that could lead to liquidation.

**Step 2: Choosing the Right Trading Opportunities**

Range-bound markets are a meat grinder for small accounts; losing in 9 out of 10 trades is common. Instead of repeatedly losing in chaotic fluctuations, wait patiently for a clear trend before taking action. When profits exceed 30%, immediately withdraw half to lock in gains. This approach both secures profits and preserves the principal for continued compounding.

**Step 3: Replacing Emotions with Rules**

Mechanical execution is key. A 3% stop-loss should be as natural as drinking water—exit when the preset line is hit, without bargaining. When profits reach 10%, set a breakeven stop-loss to protect gains while leaving room for the market to continue rising.

This trader’s account has now grown to the 50,000U level. More importantly, he no longer needs to monitor the market 24/7; just a few minutes daily to review and execute the strategy suffices.

In this market, the first lesson for beginners is not how to make money, but how to survive. Position sizing to control risk, waiting for trend opportunities, and using rules to regulate rhythm—these seemingly simple details are actually the dividing line between losses and profits.

You are right, but very few people can actually stick to this discipline; most are still defeated by FOMO.

Hmm, this methodology sounds good, but execution might be hell, right?

To be honest, the setup of that insurance fund has some merit, but the number of people who can truly stick to a 3% stop loss is very few.

That's quite right, but most people can't stick to discipline. They see others doubling their money in a day and can't sit still.

Hmm... 40x growth in 3 months with zero liquidation. The Sharpe ratio looks really good on paper, but the bear market always feels like something's a bit off here.

Basically, it's about betting on the right direction and making it back alive. Don't treat risk management as some secret...

Huh, isn't this the stop-loss discipline I've been talking about? After hearing it, many people still aren't greedy enough.

Growing from 1200 to 50,000 sounds quite mystical, but honestly, the concept of position sizing really hits the mark. --- 50x in 3 months, this number looks a bit unbelievable... but not getting liquidated is worth pondering. --- "Stop loss at 3% feels as natural as drinking water" — friend, have you never experienced a pullback in real trading lol --- Waiting for trends > chasing volatility, is that the difference between me losing money and someone making money? --- I’ve realized that the insurance fund part is more practical than any order running strategy. --- The discipline of placing two trades a day... I need to quit my impulsive habits first. --- Rolling up to 50,000 without watching the market? Then he’s probably already achieved financial freedom, envy. --- Splitting into three parts sounds simple, but actually executing it might get messy again, discipline is the hardest.

That's quite right. It's this kind of survival logic that is the foundation of making money; otherwise, even the best strategy is useless.
