Is having a small principal really the end of the chance to turn things around? No.
Last year, I personally verified a conclusion: the starting point doesn't matter; what matters is whether your method is correct and whether you can stick to discipline. Starting with 900U, I took four months to reach over 80,000—never touched leverage contracts, never dreamed of overnight riches, purely relying on systematic strategies to execute every step properly.
Today, I will break down this approach so you won't take detours.
**Step 1: Divide into three parts, give yourself a lifeline**
Here's how I split the 900U: 300 dollars for intraday swings, aiming for a quick 3% profit before exiting; another 300 dollars waiting for major market moves, only acting if the rise or fall exceeds 15%; and the remaining 300 dollars, which is for safety—never touching it.
Why divide like this? Because with full position, there are only two outcomes: either you make crazy profits or you wipe out overnight. I've seen too many people go out of the game with a single all-in bet. Staying alive is the only way to have a chance—this is the simplest truth.
**Step 2: Wait for the right moment before acting, don’t just idle and tinker**
70% of the market time is boring sideways trading. What should you do then? Watch, rest, wait. Never think that not trading means missing out—that mindset usually leads to the fastest losses.
The real opportunities appear when: either a clear trend emerges or a key level is about to break. After entering, what then? Take 25% profit and reduce your position to lock in gains; let the rest run. This way, you secure profits and leave room for explosive growth.
**Step 3: Ironclad risk control, don’t loosen even half**
This is the most critical—
Set a maximum loss per trade at 2% of your principal, and cut losses immediately when reached. Some say, "Just a little more and I’ll break even," but that’s the night before a margin call. When you profit 5%, close half to lock in gains, and set a breakeven stop-loss on the remaining position to keep it running. Don’t think about averaging down on losing trades—that’s the fastest way to get wiped out.
Steady profits are truly more profitable than chasing explosive gains. While you steadily accumulate, others lose sleep over yesterday’s plunge. Over the long run, the gap widens.
**Finally, a word**
Many ask me, how can you stay so calm? Not even a little fluctuation bothers you? Honestly, if you’re constantly losing sleep over small corrections, panicking when entering, hesitating to cut losses—that’s not the market’s problem; it’s that your method isn’t properly established.
With the same 900U, some can reach 80,000, others end up at zero. The difference is simple—discipline.
Next time an opportunity comes, I hope you remember this logic.

900U to 80,000 sounds great, but what I really want to ask is, have you been watching the market every day for these 4 months?

ngl the "3-tier allocation" thing is just portfolio rebalancing with extra steps, but yeah the discipline part actually hits different — most people fail at the boring stuff not the strategy itself

Listening to 9,000 to 80,000 sounds exciting, but the real challenge is whether you can stick to discipline and avoid all-in bets. I think most people simply can't do it.

Listening from 900 to 80,000 is exciting, but the key is whether you can really stick to discipline. Most people simply can't do it.
Not trading is actually the hardest; I failed in this trap.
Risk control is right; the moment of stop-loss tests human nature the most.
Honestly, watching sideways movement really makes you itchy; you can't help but want to act.
The methodology is good, but the problem is that execution is the biggest obstacle.
Splitting into 3 parts is an old but effective trick, which greedy people look down on.
It's easy to say, but in actual trading, the mindset completely collapses.
Reducing position by 25% is indeed stable, but missing out on ten-bagger coins is also painful.
I’ve stepped on the mine of averaging down to lower costs—painful lessons.
The key is whether you can survive until next year; that’s the real indicator.

900,000 originally isn't much, but understanding risk control can really turn it into 900,000. The key is discipline; most people fail because of greed.

900U to 80,000? Easy to say, but how many can truly stick to discipline?

From 900 to 80,000 sounds pretty impressive, but is it really just about discipline? If you don't believe it, you always feel like there's some luck involved in the middle.
