In the crypto world, a place full of temptations, most people are chasing the dream of getting rich overnight, but those who truly laugh last know how to hit the brakes.

There was a trader whose account started with only 1000U, no different from an ordinary retail investor. No background, no insider information, purely relying on strategy and self-discipline to grow the account to over fifty million. It sounds like a story, but the logic behind it is worth pondering.

**Phase 1: Divide 1000U into 5 parts, 200U per trade**

The core in the early stage is position control. Spread the principal out, set stop-loss and take-profit for each trade. No chasing, no holding through losses, no trading against the trend—only taking opportunities that are thoroughly understood. For currencies like VRA, this became a good practice. The goal at this stage isn't to double the account but to survive.

**Phase 2: The rhythm of adding positions after surpassing 10,000U**

Once the account exceeds 10,000U, control each position within 25% of the total funds. After identifying the trend direction, enter in batches, mainly during the mid-phase of the market—this is the most stable, with the smallest pullbacks. Many people get caught chasing highs; at this stage, it's better to learn patience.

**Phase 3: Taking profits and withdrawing at 200,000U**

At this level, withdraw a fixed portion of profits weekly. Many think this is for risk avoidance, but the real purpose is to lock in impulsive trading. The larger the account, the easier psychological fluctuations can amplify operations. Regular withdrawals can forcibly break this impulsiveness. Stability is the mother of compound interest.

**Why do most people get wiped out?**

Confused positions, lack of stop-loss, and correctly predicting the trend but holding through losses—these are the main reasons for most failures.

A trader following this logic managed to grow 900U to 18,000U in three months. After withdrawing, he was dazed for half a day. It’s not luck; it’s treating risk management as part of daily operations.

In the crypto market, those who make money understand restraint. If you're still exploring, this position management framework can serve as a reference.

It's the same story again; the key is self-discipline. You really have to be able to avoid greed.

Really, controlling your position is the key, many people fail because of greed. Restraint is easy to say but hard to do, I have to admit. I haven't learned how to cut losses; I always want to hold on. Three months from 900 to 18,000, how stable is that? I dream of doing that. The trick of regularly withdrawing funds is brilliant; otherwise, you'll really be blinded by the account numbers.

Honestly, I really can't control myself in this regard. I always want to go all in... I chose the wrong direction but held onto the position, and I got hit. A painful lesson, brother. Splitting withdrawals is brilliant; otherwise, the account easily becomes unstable when it gets large. 900U in three months grew to 18,000. This guy is really ruthless. I'm still hovering around 1K. Stop-loss and take-profit sound simple, but when it comes to execution, the mentality collapses. How to fix this? Holding onto positions is truly the hardest. When I see it dropping, I just want to wait for a rebound... The mother of compound interest is stability. This phrase must be engraved in my mind.

That's true, but the key is that most people simply can't stick through the first phase. Every day thinking about doubling, who the hell wants to slowly grind with 200U per hand?

Honestly, the whole position control strategy has really worn out my ears, but the problem is, how many people can actually do it? Even when you get the right signals, there are countless people who still have to hold their positions, and that's the real killer. Just diversifying positions is useless; if your mentality collapses, you're doomed. Talking about restraint every day is all just empty talk when it comes to the market. This strategy is good in theory, but the real challenge is in execution.

Basically, it's about restraint. My biggest current issue is setting proper stop-losses. No matter how much hype, there should be real trading screenshots; otherwise, it's all just stories. Regular withdrawals are indeed a huge advantage; mental resilience is so important. From 900 to 18,000 in three months? That probability must be extremely low. I can't hold on, brother. Even if I see the right opportunity, I can't help but endure and hold on.

That's right, self-control is the key, but nine out of ten people simply can't do it. Getting the right timing to hold is crucial, but that's truly a chronic illness in the crypto world. Bankruptcy often comes down to these three points, and yet people still ask every day why they're losing money. Good ideas sound nice, but execution is the key; so many people only know how to review after the fact.
