If you only have 1500U, let me be blunt with a harsh reality: your most urgent task now is not to get rich overnight, but to avoid losing everything and having no chance to bounce back.



I have a friend who started with 1200U two years ago and turned it into 25,000U in four months. The entire process involved no margin calls and no major drawdowns. Many people think it was luck, but in fact, it relied on three seemingly simple but very effective methods.

**Method One: Money must be diversified; full position is a suicidal move**

How to split 1200U? Divide into three parts, each 400U:
- The first part is for intraday trading, at most one trade per day, focusing on low frequency and high accuracy
- The second part is for swing opportunities, only acting once every ten days or half a month
- The third part is for survival; if you really suffer a loss, this portion can give you hope to recover

The core principle is simple—never go all-in. In the crypto market, going all-in is like betting your life.

**Method Two: Only chase the most certain trends, let go of the rest**

This may sound like giving up opportunities, but actually, it’s about avoiding traps. Data shows that 80% of trading losses happen during sideways markets. When the trend is unclear, the smartest choice is to stay on the sidelines.

Remember this logic: markets don’t move every day, but your capital is at risk every day. Instead of chasing unclear signals and making random moves, wait for clear trends before acting. Major moves in mainstream assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum happen only a few times a month, so there’s no need to catch everything.

**Method Three: Set rules and freeze your emotions**

This is the hardest part. The biggest enemy in trading is your own emotions. So, you need to write down strict rules:
- Set stop-loss at 2%, treat it as daily expense
- Take profit at 4%, then close half your position and lock in gains
- When your account profit exceeds 20% of the principal, immediately transfer 30% to a secure account
- Never add to a losing position—this is the fundamental reason 90% of people never bounce back

Sounds conservative? No thrill? But this mindset of "no gambling, no holding, no wishful thinking" can help you survive longer.

What’s the result? This friend’s account now exceeds 50,000U. More importantly, he no longer stays up all night watching the charts. He spends 5 minutes a day checking key levels, and the rest of the time living his life and doing other things.

**Remember this: To turn around in the crypto market, your capital must survive first. Only then can you talk about doubling.**

Diversify your funds, wait for opportunities, control risks—these strategies may seem unexciting at first glance, but they help you avoid the pitfalls that most people spend three years falling into.

Want to take the fast track? The fastest way in crypto has always been hidden in the slowest place—slow down first.

Full position is indeed a death sentence, but to be honest, is 1500U split into three parts of 400 really enough... It still feels like it depends on luck.

To be honest, those who are fully invested deserve to lose. I've seen too many who are short-sighted and greedy, and in the end, they all end up going back to square one overnight.

That's so true. Going all-in is really a suicidal move; that's exactly how I lost everything.

Honestly, there's really no need to rush for 1500U. Just focus on staying alive before dreaming of getting rich overnight.

To be honest, the full-position group has already been caught in a trap, just waiting for a turnaround.
