The underlying logic of doubling small funds—Listening to a trader share his three-step tactical approach

Three months ago, I met a fan whose account had only $2,600. He asked if he could turn things around. I shared with him three practical rules, and now his account has grown to $100,000, all without a single liquidation.

Too many people in the crypto world want to get rich overnight, but the ones who lose the most are often them. Those who can truly grow their positions share one common trait—being pragmatic.

**Step 1: Diversify your funds**

$2,600 shouldn't be all in one shot. Divide it into 4 parts, each $650, with each having its own task: one for intraday short-term trades, trading at most twice a day; another waiting for a clear weekly chart pattern before acting; another kept frozen as emergency funds, only cautiously adding positions during extreme market conditions.

The term "full position" is a taboo for me. If the principal is lost, everything else is pointless. Also, lower your expectations—aim to turn $1,000 into $2,000 first, then gradually move upward.

**Step 2: Only eat the trend's meat, avoid wasting time in consolidation**

If the daily chart hasn't formed a bullish arrangement, just stay out. There’s only one entry point—when the price volume breaks through a key resistance level, and the daily chart confirms stability before entering.

Once profits reach 30% of the principal, withdraw half immediately. Use a trailing stop to lock in profits on the remaining position. Don’t be greedy; rely on compound growth, gradually rolling profits, which is much more reliable than betting on a single shot to get rich.

**Step 3: Use rules to tame your desires**

Set your stop-loss points before entering—e.g., -3%. When hit, you must exit, no negotiations. After reaching a 10% profit, immediately move the stop-loss to the cost price, thus securing the safety of the principal.

Turn off your computer at 11 PM every night, and resolutely avoid staying up late to watch the market. Emotional management weighs far more than any technical indicator. Calm individuals tend to survive longer; those who operate frequently end up worn out.

**Final words**

There’s no secret formula—just use the simplest methods to reduce mistakes. First, master these three rules thoroughly, stabilize your footing, then study those complex indicators. To survive long in the market, every step must be calculated carefully. The future will naturally knock on your door. The market is always there; opportunities wait for no one.
