In the crypto market, most people's dreams are big, but their accounts are getting smaller. The fundamental reason for losses is actually very simple: lack of trading discipline.

Some start with 1,000 yuan, and through strict capital management and risk control strategies, their accounts eventually surpass 20 million. It sounds like a joke, but the logic behind it is worth all retail investors pondering.

**Phase One: Position Cutting During Practice Period**

Start with 1,000 USDT, divided into 5 parts for trading. Each trade is 200 USDT. What are the benefits of doing this? Risk per trade is controllable. Every trade must have a stop-loss and take-profit set. Chasing orders and anti-positioning—these self-destructive behaviors—are strictly prohibited. Only trade what you understand about the market, and avoid betting against the trend—this is the first line of defense for survival.

**Step Two: When to Add Positions**

Once the account reaches 10,000 USDT, the size of each position can be increased to about 25% of the total funds. But the key is: when to add? When the trend is in your favor. During a strong market move, don’t push all in at once, but follow in batches, capturing the golden middle of the trend. This way, you can seize the trend and avoid being wiped out by oscillations.

**Step Three: Lock in Profits**

When the account hits 200,000 USDT, start regularly locking in profits and withdrawing funds. It’s not cowardice, it’s clarity. Too many people make money only to lose it all back because their mindset drifts. Steady growth is the biggest compound interest.

**Three Fundamental Causes of Liquidation**

Look at those who got wiped out in PEPE and other highly volatile coins—there are only three ways: chaotic position management, no stop-loss, or correct direction but no patience to wait for the exit point. The most heartbreaking is the last— even the right judgment can lead to total loss if the position and mindset are wrong.

Those who truly survive in the crypto market rely not on always making money, but on lasting longer than others.
