There is an interesting case—supporting a trader who started with just 1500U and in three months reached 28,000U. Now the account has grown to over 56,000U, all without experiencing a single margin call.
This result may seem like luck, but in reality, it is backed by a complete risk management system. I myself went from over 7,000U in capital to financial freedom, using this very logic—today I will break down the core ideas.
**First Tip: Capital must be layered and allocated**
1500U should not be concentrated in one direction. Divide it into three accounts: one with 500U for intraday short-term trading, taking one trade per day and taking profits when opportunities arise; another 500U dedicated to swing trading, entering only during major market moves; and the last 500U remains untouched as a safety fund.
Why divide it this way? Most margin calls happen because traders make the same mistake—betting all chips on a single trade. Staying alive is the only way to have another shot.
**Second Tip: Only pursue certainty of profit**
Most of the time in the crypto world, the market is in a stalemate. Frequent trading is just looking for trouble. The smartest approach is: if the market has no clear direction, do nothing; wait until a trend truly starts before taking action.
A key point—once profits reach 20% of the principal, immediately close 30% of the position to lock in gains. The hallmark of a master trader is not making ten trades a day, but earning three years’ worth of gains from a single trade.
**Third Tip: Use discipline instead of intuition**
Cut losses when they exceed 2%; this is non-negotiable. Do not bargain; when profits reach 4%, halve your position size; never add to a losing position. These are not suggestions—they must be set as automatic rules.
Emotions are the biggest killers of accounts. Once fear and greed dominate your trading, your account is not far from liquidation.
The amount of capital is not the real issue; what’s deadly is the mindset of needing everything to be quick. If even a few hundred U’s of fluctuation keeps you awake at night, it shows you haven’t truly learned proper position management. Real growth begins with survival.
