Eight years into trading cryptocurrencies, I finally turned the act of "staying alive" into a true long-term business.
I've experienced margin calls and been a rookie trader, but now I can support myself solely through trading—no luck involved, no all-in bets.
In 2024, my account grew fiftyfold. I also withdrew large sums twice to pay off my house in full. Without these two withdrawals, the figure would be around 85 times.
But I don't tell fairy tales; I only share strategies that can be replicated.
My core principle is simple: small capital must survive first; only then can it accelerate.
**1. Position size isn't about opening—it's about "building"**
Starting with 800U, I only used one-third to open the first trade. The remaining funds are my reserve, untouched. No signals? Don't add to positions. During a dip, don't bottom-fish. Don't stubbornly hold onto losses. The less capital you have, the more you must cherish your life.
**2. Only trade high-confidence setups; during choppy markets, just shut down the software**
Finding entry points is like shooting—if you're not aligned, don't pull the trigger. Break down a complete market cycle into three parts: initiation, pullback, continuation. As for choppy markets? Turn off the software and don't bother.
**3. Profit strategy: keep rolling**
If the first trade earns 100U, that 100U becomes the principal for the next round. Always remember one rule—position size should never exceed 30% of total funds. Set stop-losses in advance; exit immediately when hit. Rolling over depends on discipline, not courage.
**4. When others are going crazy, I withdraw**
I don't catch every move, but I participate in each phase at the right rhythm. Rebuilding a position isn't gambling; it's compounding gradually over time.
This strategy is tailored for small capital. The smaller the principal, the more you must respect the rhythm and position management. I've seen too many people rush into full positions with just a few thousand U, only to lose more the more anxious they get, and eventually their mindset collapses.
Account doubling is just the result; the real goal is simple: make the account balance grow a little each day. Talk is cheap; real trading speaks for itself. The key is the coordination of position control and rhythm—this is the secret to long-term profitability.

It sounds pretty reliable, but this "survive" logic is indeed more difficult than just going all-in for quick money.
---
Small capital rolling positions really require discipline; most people can't do it.
---
50x leverage sounds great, but during the process, large amounts are also taken out when buying a house, which definitely changes the mindset.
---
One-third opening position, 30% of the capital... sounds simple, but can you really resist adding more when executing?
---
The key is that—when others are at their craziest, you’re pulling back. Not many can do that.
---
The power of compound interest is more solid than a myth story.
---
In volatile markets, software is ruthless in this regard, but how many people can resist the itch to trade?
---
Eight years to form a system—that's the truth.
---
Stop-loss discipline > courage, this phrase really works.

It's easy to say, but the key is to survive until that day. Most people can't withstand the first liquidation and just run away.
This move of opening one-third of the position is indeed brilliant. I've also suffered from full-position losses.
It feels like trading has been simplified. Not being greedy actually leads to more stable profits, which is quite realistic.
Discipline is easy to talk about but hard to do, especially when the market is surging and your hands get itchy.
You nailed the key point: if there's no signal, don't move. That's really true.
Is 50x leverage real trading? I haven't verified it, but I always feel it's a bit suspicious.
I understand the rolling position logic, but I don't know if I can stick with it until the account really grows.

It sounds very rational, but the key is whether you can really stick to not using leverage.

It took eight years to survive, and this is the truth. In our circle, a month of all-in bets has lost too much.
After careful consideration, 30% position is extremely tight. I'm really just afraid of rushing.

The selling points are back again, and I've heard this explanation too many times. Few can truly achieve it.
The key still lies in that "discipline." It's easy to say but extremely difficult to implement.
I understand the word "cherish life," but the problem is that most people can't endure long enough for compound interest to take effect.
