⚠️ The crypto world has nine out of ten people not making money — this is not a joke, it's reality.
A follower used an initial capital of 1200U and turned it into 36,000U in three months, without ever getting liquidated. His method is actually based on three core principles. It seems simple, but very few can stick to it.
**First principle: Diversification is the bottom line for survival**
Split 1200U into three parts, each 400U, and use each for a different purpose: - One part for day trading, focusing on a single trade per day, taking profits and then stopping, never greedily adding more - One part for swing trading, operating once every ten days or half a month, capturing major trend fluctuations - The last part for the core position, which remains untouched regardless of market volatility — this is the insurance
What is the problem with most people? They go all-in right away, and when the market drops, they get forced to liquidate, leaving no chance to profit. The crypto market is so realistic: survive first, then have the chance to multiply your gains.
**Second principle: Follow the trend, don’t kill yourself in sideways markets**
80% of the market time is sideways trading. Frequent trading during this period just burns fees. Wait until the trend really starts moving before acting — that’s the correct rhythm.
When you make money, know when to take profits. Take out 30% of profits once they exceed 20%, and only then continue holding the rest. Experienced traders don’t trade every day; once they make a move, they aim to capture the entire trend’s profit.
**Third principle: Use rules instead of feelings**
The biggest risk in trading is losing your mindset, so before each operation, set three ironclad rules: - Stop loss at 2%, exit immediately when reached, leaving no room for hesitation - Reduce position when profits reach 4%, locking in some gains first - Prohibit adding to positions; doing so only deepens the trap, eventually leading to being stuck
Control your emotions; the market will give positive feedback. Funds will grow steadily according to the rules, not fluctuate wildly with your emotions.
The crypto market is never short of opportunities; what’s lacking is the ability to survive until you can seize them. Have you started setting rules for yourself?

Exactly, I understand this sub-portfolio logic long ago, but the key is that I keep getting tempted and fail during execution.

Honestly, I've heard this theory of position splitting at least fifty times out of a hundred, but the key is to have discipline. Most people simply can't do it.

That's right, position splitting has indeed saved me many times, otherwise I would have been liquidated long ago.
Making money is not that easy; 99% of people die at the moment of greed.
A bad mindset is the end of everything. I've seen too many people get rich overnight only to lose everything overnight.
Stop-loss is easy to say but really hard to do; I always want to buy the dip.
During sideways trading, it's better to wait patiently and not dig your own grave.
Adding to a position is a dead end; the more you add, the deeper you fall, a painful lesson.
This set of logic works for me now, but my execution is not stable enough.

Honestly, this set of position splitting is indeed excellent, but the hardest part is sticking to that 2% stop loss. As soon as you recover some funds, you want to take a gamble and it’s gone.
