Honestly, if your current principal is still below 1500U, I have to give you a cold shower—you need to learn that it's not about getting rich overnight, but about preserving your principal and not losing everything in the process.

I used to have a trading friend. Starting with 1200U, he turned it into 25,000U in four months. Throughout the process, he never got liquidated or experienced a major drawdown. Many people think it was luck, but it wasn’t. He relied on three simple yet effective methods.

**First Trick: Money Must Be Divided, Full Position Trading Is Not the Way**

Split 1200U into three parts:

- 400U for day trading—at most one trade per day, no greed.

- 400U for swing trading—only trade once every ten days or half a month.

- 400U as a safety net—if you lose, you still have chips to turn things around.

The core idea here is simple: no matter what the market conditions, never use all your bullets at once. Full position traders are essentially gambling.

**Second Trick: Only Copy the Clear Market Trends, Avoid Everything Else**

Range-bound markets? Stay away. From my observation, 80% of retail traders lose money in these directionless markets.

When the trend is unclear? Stay in cash and wait. It sounds tough, but that’s the key difference from most people.

A reality is: good markets don’t appear every day, but your principal is there every day. Preserving your principal means preserving your right to trade.

**Third Trick: Trading Rules Must Be Set in Stone Beforehand, Don’t Let Emotions Take Over When Trading**

Set a stop-loss at 2%, treating it as a normal trading cost.

Take half profits when a trade reaches 4%.

If your account profit exceeds 20% of your principal, withdraw 30% immediately.

When losing, never add to your position.

This last point is especially critical. 90% of traders who can’t turn their accounts around get trapped here: gambling, holding on too long, constantly thinking "the market will bounce back." The result? Their accounts sink deeper and deeper.

That friend’s account now exceeds 50,000+. What’s more impressive is that he no longer needs to watch the charts overnight. He spends just 5 minutes a day checking key levels, and the rest of the time doing other things. That’s the real rhythm of making money.

If you truly want to turn things around in crypto, remember this: only when your principal is alive do you have a chance to double it. Diversify your positions, be patient, control your pace—these may not sound exciting, but they will save you at least three years of detours.

Want to take the fast track? The fastest way in crypto is actually—slow down first.
