Six months ago, I mentored a beginner who had no understanding of candlestick charts, with only $1,500 in capital.
As a result, he turned $4,800 in two months, and now has $120k in his account.
More importantly, he experienced sharp drops and sudden spikes along the way, but never once got liquidated.
Do you call that luck? No, it’s the effect of three simple rules I’ve proven with real money.
Rule One: Diversify to preserve your life.
Split the $1,500 into three parts: $500 for intraday quick trades, $500 for swing trading, and the remaining $500 locked away as a safety net.
Full position trading is suicide; diversification is the only way to survive.
Rule Two: Only eat the fattiest part.
Eighty percent of crypto market time is sideways; reckless trading just pays transaction fees to the exchange.
Wait for a clear trend before acting, and when you do, go for the biggest chunk of profit.
When profits exceed 20% of your capital, immediately take out 30%; cashing out is real money.
Rule Three: Treat yourself like a machine, avoid emotional trading.
Ninety percent of retail traders lose here.
Set your stop-loss properly, cut when hit.
When profits reach 4%, reduce your position.
Never add to a losing position.
Stick to the rules and execute ruthlessly.
The most boring times are when you’re making money—just follow the plan and let profits run.
Having a small capital isn’t scary; lock in risks, and profits will naturally grow.
If you want to replicate turning $1,500 into $120k, feel free to talk to me.
