Turning $900 into $80,000 in 4 months may sound like a fairy tale. But the core of this method is actually very simple: scientific allocation + strict discipline + patient waiting.



**Positioning is the foundation for survival**

Dividing $900 into three accounts is the most intuitive way to understand. The first $300 is dedicated to intraday fluctuations, with a straightforward goal—take profit at 3% and exit; the second $300 waits for major opportunities, only acting when a confirmed trend or breakout occurs with a confidence level exceeding 15%; the third $300 stays in the account forever as a safety fund, never touched no matter how urgent.

What are the benefits of this approach? Many people prefer to go all-in at once, risking everything on a single judgment, only to be wiped out. Positioning gives you room for mistakes. You can experiment in the first account, and even if you lose everything, the loss is manageable.

**Identify the main upward wave, then rest the rest of the time**

The market has a characteristic: 70% of the time is spent in meaningless sideways and oscillations. This period tests human nature the most; frequent trading often results in repeated losses. The smart approach is to stay quiet and wait until a real trend forms or a key breakout occurs before entering.

Once you enter the market, how to handle it? When profits reach 25%, take some profits off the table to secure gains, and let the remaining position follow the trend to continue running. This ensures stable returns and prevents greed from causing a total loss. Currently, with the Fed's rate cut expectations heating up, mainstream coins like QNT and TRX often have ongoing main upward waves, and this is the ideal entry timing.

**Three unbreakable iron rules**

The value of discipline lies in helping you avoid most pitfalls. First: never lose more than 2% of your principal on a single trade; if you do, cut immediately—no luck-based hopes. Second: when profits reach 5%, close half of your position right away, and set a breakeven stop-loss on the remaining part. This way, you’ll never be knocked back to the starting point by a market reversal. Third and most important: do not add to losing positions. Averaging down may sound smart, but it’s actually the fastest way to blow up your account.

**Stability is more valuable than speed**

In the process of turning $900 into $80,000, there was no use of leverage, no chasing hundredfold coins, and no frequent trading. It’s this "slow" strategy that allowed the gains to grow exponentially. And $80,000 could also vanish within a month—what makes the difference is whether you can stick to these seemingly simple rules. While others lose sleep over 3% fluctuations and panic as soon as they enter, you are already building an advantage through discipline.

Positioning is a classic topic, but do you know why most people still lose money? It's because they can't control their impulses; they see their accounts moving and want to trade.

Scaling sounds good, but there are very few people who can actually execute it Scaling sounds good, but there are very few people who can actually execute it It sounds nice, but can the safety fund really be left untouched? I don't have that kind of discipline This logic looks perfect at first glance, but the problem is human nature. Who can really resist during a surge? Sell at 25%? I feel like I'm always stuck on this point Not adding to positions is the harshest; averaging down sounds smart but is indeed a trap Discipline is valuable, but the cost of maintaining discipline might be more painful than losses Taking it slow is really better than rushing blindly, but unfortunately most people can't wait four months for that A very honest suggestion, but the difficulty of execution is seriously underestimated

It's the same theory again—sounds good in words, but what about practical implementation? How many can truly stick with it?

The concept of position splitting is actually just mental preparation; very few can truly stick with it.
