I have seen too many people who start gambling as soon as they put in a sum of funds. The result? Accounts are wiped out, dreams are wiped out. In contrast, those who survive, their first move is not to chase high returns, but to tie themselves down first.
A friend who turned 1200U into 58,000U told me, the secret is six words: survive, then make money.
**How to survive? Divide your positions.**
The same principal amount, split horizontally into three parts: - Daily short-term 300 bucks, exit with profit, no greed—greed is the original sin - Mid-term swing 300 bucks, wait ten days or half a month, just wait for a big trend - Bottom position insurance 300 bucks, no matter how much you smash, you can't move it—this is your last lifeline
Many people will laugh when they hear this— isn’t this just risk diversification? Yes, it’s that simple. But simple things, most people can’t do.
**The second trick is patience.**
Most of the time in the crypto world, it’s wasted time. Bottom oscillations, top grinding, during these times, frequent trading is like paying platform fees. When real opportunities appear, the market will scream. That’s the moment to jump in.
Profit over 20%? Immediately take out one-third. Only what you can hold in your hand is real money; numbers in the account can be deceiving.
**The third trick, rules.**
Emotions are the fatal disease of retail investors. You need to set up a cold, mechanical system:
Cut loss at 2%. Don’t wait, don’t pray, just cut without even looking.
Reduce position at 4% to lock in profits. Selling at the peak is a myth; surviving and making money is the reality.
Never add to a losing position. The phrase “average down” is just digging a hole for yourself.
From small numbers to big numbers, it’s not about gambling everything on a single bet, but about making every penny move within the rules. Greed and fear, once they take over, the account is not far from explosion.
1200U to 58,000U, nothing else—risk is locked in, profit runs itself.

There’s nothing wrong with what was said; it’s just that most people can’t change their gambling nature at all. There are always people saying that this trap of splitting positions can be done, but no one can really accomplish it.

hypothesis: the real oracle network here isn't the SEC framework at all—it's emotional discipline. interestingly enough, this 1200→58k story is basically just cross-chain risk management applied to human psychology. the Byzantine generals problem, but make it portfolio allocation.

That's right, it's a matter of mindset. I've seen too many people go all-in and end up losing everything. Dividing positions seems simple, but it's really difficult to do in practice. Most people fail because of greed.

That's right, it's all about being greedy. I've seen too many people holding onto a thousand yuan, hoping to get rich overnight, but the result... haha.
My current method is this position-splitting strategy. Although it earns slowly, at least I'm still alive, which is much more comfortable than those who dream of zeroing out.
Cut at 2%, it sounds easy, but actually doing it makes you want to vomit blood. But indeed, staying alive is the top priority.

Exactly, the problem is that 99% of people get stuck at the execution stage... I've seen a bunch of people who know about position sizing, but still end up losing everything.

You're absolutely right, greed is indeed the original sin. I used to be that kind of reckless person, and the results are predictable... Now I finally understand that being alive is the most important thing.

Positioning, stop-loss, holding on... It's true, but when it comes to real trading, 99% of people still can't withstand the psychological challenge. I've seen people follow the rules for a month, but as soon as the market moves, they forget everything.

You're all right, but can anyone really stick to it? I think 99% will get greedy and break their strategy when it rises by 10%.

I've known about this position-splitting method for a long time. The problem is that a slight tremor makes me go all-in again. Emotional management is the hardest lesson.
---
Sell at 2% profit? I only sell after losing 50%. That's probably the reason I got liquidated, haha.

The phrase "making money while alive" is brilliant. So many people die in a single market wave.

It feels like I hear this theory every bull market, but I forget it all during the next bear market.

Basically, you need discipline; otherwise, no matter how much principal you have, you'll end up losing it all.
