Many people are trapped by a curse — too little principal to turn things around. Accounts below 1500U seem to have to accept their fate.

But I have seen breakthroughs. A friend started with 1200U, and after three months, his account grew to 50,000U, all without a single liquidation. When asked about his secret, he smiled and said there’s nothing mystical, just three strict rules.

**Rule 1: Divide the principal into three parts, each with a mission**

He split 1200U into three 400U portions. The first is for short-term trades, with a maximum of two orders per day, relying on self-discipline to control impulsive reactions; the second is for observing the market, waiting for a clear trend before acting; the last is untouched, serving as the safety net. This arrangement reduces psychological pressure—if the first two parts lose everything, there’s still a fallback to turn things around.

**Rule 2: Only eat the meat of trends, avoid gnawing on choppy bones**

How many have you seen opening positions frequently within sideways ranges, only to be wiped out completely? He simply gave up on that game. As long as the market has no clear direction, he ignores even the most tempting signals. Wait for a confirmed trend before entering, even if you miss some initial moves, staying alive is the key to continuing profits.

After earning a 30% profit, his approach becomes even more ruthless — immediately withdraw half, leaving the rest as a gift from the market. This may seem greedy, but it’s actually a safeguard against the market’s ruthless retracement.

**Rule 3: Defeat emotional trading with strict rules**

Set a fixed stop-loss at 3%; once hit, exit immediately—no hesitation. When profits reach 10%, instantly adjust the stop-loss to break-even, letting profits run freely. Once this system is in place, he doesn’t need to stay glued to the screen overnight; a few minutes reviewing the trades each day is enough, turning trading into a mechanical process.

Over three months, 1200U turned into 50,000U. More importantly, beyond making money, his mindset became exceptionally steady — no rollercoaster emotions, only strict adherence to rules.

Many people misunderstand the logic of turning things around. In crypto, a comeback isn’t about full-margin all-in gambles, but about using position sizing for defense, patience for trend waiting, and discipline to conquer emotions. It sounds simple, but very few can actually implement it consistently.
