In the crypto world, I have seen too many accounts explode, but I have also seen someone achieve a 36x growth in just over four months. Is the difference really that big? It’s not luck, but the system.



A complete beginner started with 2000U and eventually reached 73,000U, with zero liquidation along the way. There’s no magic behind this, only a practical trading framework. Many people who lose often say their capital is too small, but the real issue isn’t the amount of money, it’s that they haven’t built a profitable logical system.

**First Layer: The Position Sizing System is the Life and Death Line**

Starting with 2000U, it must be split as follows: 700U for intraday short-term trading, quick in and out to secure definite profits; 700U for medium-term swings, patiently waiting for the turning point to ride a big trend; the remaining 600U as emergency reserve, not to be used even if the market crashes, maintaining the confidence to turn things around.

This ratio sounds simple, but 99% of people can’t execute it. Greed kicks in, they go all-in, their account rises and they get cocky, it drops and they panic, ending up liquidated without even a chance to recover. In the crypto world, survival is always more important than chasing quick profits.

**Second Layer: Frequent Trading is a Fee Black Hole**

Most of the time, the market is sideways and volatile. People who trade frequently are essentially paying fees to the exchange. The real strategy is to observe calmly, wait for confirmed opportunities, and act only then. Take profits immediately when targets are hit, and withdraw 30% of profits once they exceed the principal by 30%. The state of a master trader is "don’t open a position unless necessary, but once you do, hold for half a year." Less is more.

**Third Layer: Machine Thinking Wins Over Emotions**

Stop-loss is set at 2.5%. When hit, cut immediately without a second thought. When profits exceed 5%, reduce the position and lock in the gains. Never add to losing positions. Once rules are set, turn them into muscle memory, so money can run itself without being driven by emotions.

Going from 2000U to 73,000U may seem magical, but when broken down, it’s a solid system of risk control and profit chasing. Some always want to eat the big pie in one bite, but end up not even protecting their initial capital. Small capital is never the problem; the problem is the lack of a framework.

If you still can’t sleep over a few hundred U in fluctuations, or don’t know how to follow trends or control your position size, this framework might help. The details of position sizing, entry timing, and holding fire can all be explained thoroughly. Avoiding three years of detours is truly more valuable than anything else.

Basically, it's about position control; most people get wiped out by full positions.

Sounds good, but there are really few people who can stick to not going all-in.

That's right, it's just a difference in execution. I used to go all-in with full positions too, but I only survived after switching to a fractional position system.
