A seasoned trader took 60 days to grow an account from 1,800U to 30,000U. The secret? It's not complicated—simply not making mistakes.

His methodology is straightforward: divide the initial capital into three separate 600U portions, not to be used interchangeably. The first 600U is for short-term trades, with a maximum of two trades per day, stopping immediately after a loss. The second 600U monitors weekly charts of Bitcoin and Ethereum, waiting for a clear bullish alignment before acting; only when trading volume breaks new highs and the candlestick closes confirm the signal does he cautiously enter with a small position. The third 600U is an emergency fund, used to cover stops on losing positions, ensuring he isn't wiped out by the market.

The key here is a mindset shift. After years of market observation, he's seen too many liquidation tragedies—some chase high with full positions in Bitcoin and get wiped out with less than a 10% drop; others leverage 20x on contracts, getting liquidated by small fluctuations. Liquidation is like amputation—losing principal means no chance to recover. So he firmly opposes all-in bets.

Entry signals are simplified to the extreme: if there's no sign of bullish alignment on the daily chart, stay completely out of the market. Only when volume surpasses previous highs and a confirmation close appears does he open a small position for the first time. Before entering, he clearly writes a "life-and-death commitment"—set a 5% stop-loss for automatic liquidation; once profit reaches 10%, move the stop-loss to the breakeven point for protection; when profits double (30% of the principal), take half of the cash off the table, and let the remaining position run with a trailing stop of 10%.

The core of this logic is: making money is never about guessing the rise or fall correctly, but about making fewer mistakes. Opportunities are everywhere in the crypto world, and markets cycle endlessly. Those who last the longest are often not the most accurate predictors, but those with strict risk control. People driven by emotion or gambling with full positions come and go; those who truly grow their capital are the traders who follow rules and keep a calm mind.

The market is a brutal arena—survive first, then talk about accumulation. Volume, bullish alignment, stop-loss lines—these are not complex technical indicators, but rules that must be obeyed to stay alive.

60 days to multiply by 16? Sounds great, but I think the key is still that phrase—don't make mistakes. Predicting the market is much harder.

The logic is impressive, but I really want to know how many pits this guy has stepped into before he realized these lessons? --- I agree that not going all-in is wise. I've seen too many people who go all-in and end up with nothing; it's really tough. --- It looks simple, but in actual execution, does that stop-loss line really mean cutting losses? The promised 5% often ends up being 8%. --- That's why a ten-year veteran in the crypto world is still alive, while newbies are gone in two months. Everyone is equal before the rules. --- I've also tried the sub-account strategy. Discipline can really save lives, but I'm worried I can't stick to it. --- The core is to stay alive. As long as you're alive, there's a chance to turn things around. If you die, everything is pointless. --- The signal of volume breaking new highs sounds simple, but few people use it well. Most are still overwhelmed by emotions. --- No problem, just worried about not passing the psychological test. Seeing the soaring coins makes me jealous.

That's right, not going all-in is really the first step to survival. I've seen too many people blow up by chasing high with full positions. I need to ponder this three-tiered position strategy; it seems much more reliable than staring at the screen and messing around every day. Setting a 5% stop-loss is quite tough; you need some mental preparation to truly stick to it. I'm just curious whether he experienced the test of a reverse market within those 60 days, and how much luck played a role. Will he wait so long for an opportunity that everyone gets numb, then get excited and break the rules again...

This guy is right, the key is not to tempt fate. --- Basically, just stay alive and don't be greedy. --- Making money is easy, staying alive is the hard part. --- Splitting funds into three separate parts, this approach is indeed brilliant. --- Those who go all-in deserve it, they are playing with fire. --- A bullish alignment combined with volume breaking new highs, this strategy is indeed reliable. --- The stop-loss line is a life-saving line, there's nothing more to say. --- The outcome of going all-in is to be out, I've seen too many cases. --- Making money based on rules, not luck, this is the long-term survival way. --- Fund management is indeed the most overlooked aspect. --- It feels like simplifying trading actually helps you live longer.

Sounds good, but I think the main thing is that this guy just hasn't encountered a black swan yet. It looks easy to make money, but when the market reverses and dumps, it's all over. How should I put it, I mainly trust stop-losses. The 16x increase in 60 days is too much of a probability game. No matter how well you follow the rules, you can't prevent liquidity exhaustion. It's idealistic to say so, but in practice, it’s off the charts. In the end, just surviving is winning.
