The light is on over there, do you dare to walk forward?
Honestly, there are plenty of people entering the crypto world, and nine out of ten dream of turning their fortunes overnight. But the ones who can walk out alive and smiling are always those—those who stay calm, understand K-line charts, and get out when they should.
The numbers in my account now make some people think I must have some secret or talent. Actually, I started as a retail trader with just a few thousand dollars, no mining rigs, no financial backing, no powerful support. My only capital is that I’m tough and don’t mess around blindly.
**Starting Strategy: 1000U divided into five parts, always set stop-loss**
Initially, I had 1000U, and I split it into five parts, entering with 200U each time. The key here—set a stop-loss for every trade, don’t chase the pump, don’t go against the trend, and don’t hold on stubbornly. This is my strict rule.
Back then, I kept telling myself: Don’t treat this like a casino, we’re here to steal money. If I can’t read the market clearly, I stay on the sidelines. When I see a good opportunity, I enter steadily. The biggest enemy in crypto isn’t market volatility, but laziness—lazy to research, lazy to learn, lazy to spend time. But even more deadly is reckless activity—getting itchy hands at every price fluctuation and trying to operate.
The secret is to buy in batches. Don’t expect to go all-in at once; learn to crawl slowly like a turtle. Even if you’re confident about a coin, buy in several installments at different times. This reduces risk and prevents impulsive decisions that could wipe you out.
**Upgrade: Only consider adding positions when the account reaches 10,000U**
When my account hit 10,000U, I started thinking about adding to my positions. But adding isn’t just about going all-in. Only when the trend is confirmed and signals are solid do I add gradually and in stages, slowing down the pace.
At this stage, I truly understood: making money is about riding the trend and eating the meat, not fighting the market stubbornly.

Exactly right, stop-loss is like a life-saving talisman; so many people die because they can't bring themselves to cut the loss.

Another success story of 1000U has emerged, showing that the survival rate of such accounts after half a year is 8.7%. Interesting.

Here's another textbook on stop-loss... Alright, straightforward honesty—cutting 1000 into five parts is indeed ruthless, and it allows you to survive a few more rounds than those who go all-in.

Stop-loss is real. I've seen too many people not set it, and in the end, they lose everything.

Stop-loss is really a good thing, but unfortunately nine out of ten people can't do it...
