# From Bankruptcy to Supporting the Family: A 8-Year Trading Journey of True Transformation

After 8 years immersed in the crypto world, I finally turned trading into a career that supports my family. From a former margin call victim and a bystander who got chopped by the market, to now living independently through trading—there's no myth behind this process, only the most straightforward logic of survival.

In 2024, my account grew by 50 times. I also withdrew two large sums to pay for a full house purchase. Without these withdrawals, the growth could have exceeded 85 times. But what I want to emphasize isn't these numbers themselves, but how I actually achieved this behind the scenes.

**The core rule is simple: small capital must survive first; only by surviving can there be a chance to accelerate.**

## Positioning Strategy Is Key

Starting with 800U, I only used one-third of the amount to open the first trade, keeping the remaining funds as a safety net. This isn't conservatism; it's basic respect for small capital.

When signals are unclear, I avoid adding to positions. During dips, I deliberately resist the impulse to bottom fish, and I won't hold on through losses hoping for a reversal. The smaller the capital, the lower the risk tolerance. Betting on market trends with limited funds often leads to quick bankruptcy.

## Only Trade at High-Confidence Levels

Find the right entry points before shooting. I break down a complete market rhythm into three entry opportunities: initiation, pullback, and continuation. During consolidation phases, I simply turn off the software and rest—ineffective actions tend to consume more funds and mental energy than waiting patiently in position.

## The Purpose of Profits Is One

The first 100U earned from a trade is used to independently start the next round of trading. Position size should never exceed 30% of total capital. Lock in stop-loss points early, and exit immediately when hit—this rolling position approach relies on disciplined execution, not gambler mentality.

## Don't Continue Trading During Market Frenzy

The hottest moments in the market are often when I choose to reduce or exit positions. Every entry is timed with the market rhythm, not chasing to maximize the entire move. Doubling the account isn't the result of a one-shot gamble, but of compounding gains gradually over time.

This methodology is tailored for small capital. I've seen too many people with a few thousand U accounts go all-in recklessly; the more anxious they are, the faster they lose, and eventually their mindset collapses.

The real goal is quite simple: make the account balance increase a little every day, and that's all.
