Traders with less than 2000U in capital, let me tell you the truth—what you need to learn now is not how to get rich overnight, but how to survive.



A friend started with 1500U and turned it into 45,000U in four months, never liquidating a position or experiencing a crash-style drawdown. When asked for his secret? It’s not luck—just three habits, simple to the point of being silly, but rock solid.

**First Habit: Capital must be diversified; full position is suicide**

Split 1500U like this:
- 500U for intraday short-term trades (at most one trade per day)
- 500U for swing trading (making a move once every half month)
- 500U as a safety fund (giving you a chance to recover if losses occur)

This isn’t some advanced theory; it’s about preventing any single mistake from knocking you out. Someone with a full position, if they get the direction wrong once, it’s Game Over.

**Second Habit: Only trade the most certain market conditions**

80% of losses happen during sideways markets. You keep bouncing around, wasting time, paying fees, and stressing yourself out.

Think about it this way:
- When the trend is unclear, stay out—better to miss a trade than to lose blindly
- Only take action when the direction is clear
- Remember, markets don’t always move every day, but your capital needs to stay alive every day

**Third Habit: Write your trading rules in stone, leave emotions aside**

Stop-loss at 2%, just like eating breakfast. Take profit at 4%, and sell half. When your account gains 20% of your principal, withdraw 30% immediately. Never think that adding to a losing position can save you—that’s the fundamental reason 90% of people can’t turn things around.

No gambling, no holding on stubbornly, no fantasizing that the market will "pull back."

Now? His account has already grown to over 100,000U. Even more impressive, he no longer needs to stare at the screen overnight. He spends 10 minutes each day checking his position, and the rest of the time, he’s busy with other things.

To turn things around, remember this: as long as your principal stays alive, there’s hope to double it.

Diversify your funds, wait for the right opportunity, control your risks—these may sound dull, but they can save you three years of detours. Want quick success? The fastest way in the crypto world is always to slow down first.

Honestly, the full-positions strategy really deserves to die. I've seen too many people go all-in and lose everything.

Wow, this guy really teaches people how to survive step by step. Full position is indeed a suicidal strategy.

This logic is actually similar to the approach of computing power allocation, dispersing risk, reducing difficulty adjustment shocks, and is quite similar to mining pool management.

Wow, this guy's words really hit home. Full-position traders really should reflect on themselves. I've seen too many people go all-in and lose everything in one shot.

To be honest, I really dislike those who go all-in with their entire position, losing everything in one shot and then blaming the market. This guy's diversified approach may sound boring, but it actually works damn well.
