#Strategy加仓BTC Newbie in trading, my three-stage growth log

Last year, when I only had 1000U, I was thinking about how to make steady profits. Later, I developed a set of methods, and from beginner to now, I’ve gradually built up my account.

**Starting Stage: 1000U to 5000U**

The biggest fear at the beginning was losing everything in one shot. So I divided the principal into 5 parts, using only 200U per trade. The advantage of this approach is that it relaxes your mindset—a single loss is limited, so you can focus on "staying alive."

The core of this stage is developing habits: always set stop-loss and take-profit before placing an order, so you know the maximum loss beforehand. Honestly, among those who see the right direction but still get wiped out, eight out of ten fail because they don’t execute stop-losses. Also, don’t chase highs or sell lows; pass on opportunities you don’t understand, and only trade what you’re confident in.

**Acceleration Stage: 5000U to 20000U**

Once the account shows some progress, your mindset needs to change. At this point, you can allocate 25% of your total funds for a single trade, but only if it’s in line with the trend. My experience is: don’t chase the highest point, and don’t wait until the last moment to exit. Just focus on the middle golden zone of the trend, and steadily take profits.

Batching entries is very important. For example, if you’re bullish on a certain coin, don’t go all-in at once; instead, enter 3-5 times to balance your costs and keep a steady mindset. The biggest enemy at this stage is greed—wanting to earn a little more, then a little more, but ending up trapped.

**Steady Stage: Above 20000U**

At this level, the goal shifts from "making money" to "preserving money." My approach is to lock a fixed portion of profits into withdrawals every week, treating that money as non-existent. The rest is used for continued trading. It sounds conservative, but in the long run, those who stick to this approach see much more stable account growth.

**Why do many still blow up their accounts**

To summarize failure cases: no proper position planning, stubbornly holding onto losses without stop-loss, seeing the right direction but making emotional trades to buy the dip in the opposite way. Opportunities in the crypto space are plentiful, but few truly make money because they can stick to discipline. I have a bit of an obsession with this—stability might be the most unremarkable but most valuable thing in the crypto world.
