In the crypto world, turning an account from 1,000 to 10,000 is often not about sophisticated technical indicators, but about a few strict principles that must be followed. It sounds simple, but very few people actually stick to it.

Three months ago, a fan approached me with an account that only had 1,000. I gave him a plan, and he stuck to it for three months, using discipline to revive his account. The core logic is actually quite simple—divide the 1,000 into three parts to use.

**Part One: Short-term trading funds 350**. Make no more than two trades per day, cut losses immediately when needed, no bargaining over prices. The goal is to keep the account active through high-frequency small trades.

**Part Two: Trend trading funds 350**. Only act when the weekly chart clearly shows an uptrend; if no confirmed signal, stay on the sidelines. This part is for capturing big moves.

**Part Three: Emergency reserve 300**. Reserved for extreme market conditions, to immediately add margin when liquidation risk arises, ensuring you can stay in the game. Many people don’t understand this—going all-in may seem aggressive, but it’s actually a death sentence. Liquidation is like amputation; losing a finger is survivable, but having your head cut off is game over.

To make money, the key is to focus only on the most profitable segment of the trend, and earn some small profits through short-term trades during the rest of the time. This is the difference between most people and those who truly make money.

**How to read trading signals?** Market fluctuations are like a meat grinder; most people end up being cut to pieces. My rules are very strict:

If the daily moving averages do not form a clear bullish arrangement, do not enter. Wait until volume breaks above previous highs, and only open a position after the daily close confirms the signal. Once profits reach 30% of the principal, take out half of the gains immediately, and set a 10% trailing stop on the remaining to let profits run.

**Emotional management is even more critical.** Before entering, write a "life and death statement": a 5% stop-loss that triggers automatic close without negotiation; when profits reach 10%, move the stop-loss to the cost basis, so any further rise is free profit.

Going from 1,000 to 10,000 simply means making fewer mistakes. The market offers opportunities every day, but your capital is limited. You must first learn to survive before talking about making money. If you can’t survive, you’re just paying transaction fees to the exchange. Wealth in the crypto market never belongs to the fastest traders, but to those who can survive until the end. In this circle, discipline is life.
