Is your principal only 3000U? Then we need to have a serious talk.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying don't play if you have little money. On the contrary—people with less money actually need a safety net more. The crypto world has never been a casino; it's a war of strategy and discipline.
I know a trader who started with 2400U. His first trade, his hands were trembling—was he going to lose everything with that one loss? I've seen this mentality too many times. Later, he chose to follow the system and no longer hesitated.
A month later, his account broke through 22,000U. Two months after that, it hit 100,000U. Throughout, he never liquidated his position even once.
**This is not luck.**
Many people ask me what my secret is. Actually, there are just three hard rules that anyone can follow:
**Rule 1: Divide your money into three parts, leave yourself a safety net**
How to split 2400U? 800, 800, 800.
The first 800 is for day trading. Focus only on Bitcoin and Ethereum, and exit when you see a 3%-5% fluctuation opportunity. Fast in and out, earning small but certain profits.
The second 800 is for swing trading. Don’t chase small fluctuations; wait for clear opportunities. Hold positions for 3 to 5 days. This part aims for stability.
The third 800 is emergency funds. No matter how crazy the market gets, keep this part untouched. Its purpose is—when you need to turn things around, you still have confidence.
Have you seen those who put all their savings into the market? When it rises, they get excited; when it falls, they panic. After a few months, they disappear. Those who survive until the end understand one thing: **keep some money on the outside**.
**Rule 2: Follow the trend, don’t grind in sideways markets**
Most of the time, the market is testing you. Sideways, oscillations, fake breakouts—frequent trades just rack up fees with the exchange.
If there’s no signal, sit tight. This requires patience, but patience is the most valuable asset.
Once a signal appears, act decisively. No hesitation, no second look.
When you’ve earned 12%, withdraw half immediately. Let the rest continue to run. The benefit is: even if there’s a pullback later, you’ve secured your profits. This relaxes your mindset and makes your operations clearer.
The rhythm of experts is like this—stay still for the long term, and when you move, you hit the mark. I’ve seen that trader who started with 2400U; when his account doubled, he just calmly took profits. No chasing highs, no impatience, even a bit bored. That boredom—that’s what making money looks like.
**Rule 3: Discipline and control your emotions**
Never risk more than 2% on a single trade. Exit when the time is right—no negotiations.
When profits exceed 4%, cut your position in half first. This preserves opportunities and locks in gains.
Never add to a losing position. This is when emotions are most likely to take over—"I don’t believe it can’t recover"—but the more you add, the deeper you go. Emotions are what drag you down.
You don’t need to perfectly catch every market move. But you must stick to this rule every time. The secret to making money is like this—**use a system to control that hand that wants to operate recklessly**.
From 2400U to 100,000U, not a single turnaround was luck-based. Every step was within the rules. Rules, patience, discipline—that’s all there is.
In the past, someone wandering in the dark couldn’t find the way. Now, with this light, the path is clear.

Damn it, splitting into three parts is a brilliant move
---
Exactly right, emotional plays are the deadliest
---
That guy who turned 2400 into 100,000, discipline really is the mother of profit
---
I'm just afraid that even after knowing, I can't help but go all in
---
Sitting still during sideways trading is even harder than making money
---
Reducing by half when withdrawing 12% sounds simple, but actually doing it is really difficult
---
The moment you add to your position is the moment a loser is born
---
The key is to have patience and wait for signals; most people can't endure it
---
A single liquidation can wipe you out completely, which is why splitting into three parts is necessary
---
This set of rules may seem boring, but it really helps in making money

Really, splitting into three parts is a brilliant move; otherwise, a single sweep would be over.
---
Exactly, discipline is the key to longevity. I’ve never seen anyone make ten times the profit relying on luck.
---
From 2400 to 100,000? I believe half of this story, but the rules are indeed well set.
---
The main thing is to control that hand of yours. I’ve died once chasing after positions.
---
Sideways trading without movement is really the hardest. Sitting still and not trading feels like wasting time...
---
I’ve set the stop-loss at 2% without any room for negotiation.
---
Even small amounts can turn around, it all depends on whether you believe in this system.
---
Compared to making money, staying alive is the real principle. That’s very true.
---
Starting with 3000U isn’t shameful; the key is not to go all-in at once.

That's right, but I'm just worried that some people will still go all in after hearing this...
Making money really depends on discipline, not just having a big guts.
I've been using this three-part logic for a long time, but too many people can't control their hands.
Starting from 2400 is indeed difficult, but bankruptcy can come quickly too; I've seen it too many times.
Those who stick to the end are never the lucky ones; they are the ones who can truly control their emotions.
How many people reading this post can really stick to a 2% stop loss? It's easy to say.

It sounds good, but how many people can truly stick to discipline? I haven't seen any.

That's right, with a small principal, you need to be more disciplined.
---
I just want to know how that guy is doing now, hasn't he lost another 100,000?
---
I've tried dividing into three parts, and it really helps improve the mindset, so you don't lose everything on a single trade.
---
The key is to control your hands; it's really hard to sit still during sideways trading.
---
Listening to 2,400 to 100,000 sounds great, but I have to admit not everyone can stick to this set of rules.
---
I agree with the 2% stop-loss, but in practice, it's still easy to break it.
---
Really, never been liquidated? You must have a lot of patience.
---
It feels like mental strategy is more important than technical skills; most people fail due to their mindset.

Honestly, splitting this into three parts is really useful, but I'm just worried someone will listen and still go all-in.
No, what I want to say is that I've heard too many stories like this; the key is still execution.
3000U? I actually think this level tests your mentality the most. Don't even talk about systems.
I agree with maintaining discipline; as for the rest, it's just a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Basically, don't be greedy. I've known the strategy of diversifying risk for a long time, but the hard part is execution...
Is it true? Jumping from 2400 to 100,000? I feel like it's all survivor bias.
I understand the rules, but I just can't control my hands. During sideways trading, it's the easiest time to get itchy.
This article is well-written, but in the crypto world, it's always 20% of people making money and 80% of people taking the losses.
I still think that instead of risking 3000U, it's better to go all in on a potential coin. Maybe it will double or triple in one wave.
Stop loss at 2%, three rules... sounds simple but hard to do, especially when watching the account drop.

There's nothing wrong with that; the key is not to be greedy.
I've long understood this allocation logic, and the real difficulty lies in maintaining discipline.
There are many cases of small funds turning into large ones, but in the end, they still fall apart due to emotions.
It seems simple, but some people can't even hold onto a 3%-5% profit when it comes to actually executing.
Damn, it's that kind of motivational speech... but somehow it still makes sense.
That's probably why most people end up as just leeks in the end.

No problem with what you're saying, brother, but the execution is the hard part.
---
Turning 2400 into 100,000 sounds great, but how many can really resist topping up?
---
I've known this theory for a long time, the problem is that during a pullback, I simply can't control myself.
---
So the key is still mindset; technical skills are actually secondary. That hits hard.
---
But starting with 3000U definitely requires this kind of discipline, or else a sudden liquidation could really wipe you out.
---
I trust that trader, but what are the chances?
---
A 2% stop loss sounds simple, but actually taking action is a life-or-death decision.
---
Living a boring life is always better than exciting bankruptcy, that really hits home.
