People who lose money in the crypto market generally make the same mistake: they treat quick wealth as the ultimate goal, but choose to achieve it through gambling-like methods. The results are predictable.

I myself started as a small retail investor. My initial capital was only 2000 USDT, with no background, relying purely on strategy and discipline to grow the account to a million-level. Many people don’t believe it, but the data is there.

I never ask how much a single wave of market movement can make; I only ask whether I should participate in this wave. True wealth snowballs, in fact, starting from learning to "stay put."

**Stage One: Small-Scale Trial and Error**

Divide 2000U into 5 parts, each 400U, and operate independently. Every trade must have stop-loss and take-profit levels set. No chasing rallies, no holding through losses, no trading against the trend—stick to only the opportunities you understand. The goal of this stage is simple: to establish trading discipline.

**Stage Two: Add Positions in Line with the Trend**

After the account reaches 10,000U, control each position to about a quarter of the total funds. When the market moves in your favor, add to your positions in batches to ride the middle of the trend. By now, you have accumulated experience and can better grasp the rhythm.

**Stage Three: Regular Withdrawals**

Once the account exceeds 200,000U, I start locking in some profits weekly and withdraw them. This is not out of fear, but to prevent overconfidence. Stability is the greatest profit.

Common mistakes of those who blow up their accounts: chaotic position sizes, randomly resisting trades, stop-losses that are ineffective. When they see a counter-trend move, they stubbornly hold on, eventually getting wiped out.

What makes me most proud is a follower who learned from me for three months, growing from 1000U to 20,000U, and was so excited during withdrawal yesterday that they called me late at night. Watching this growth process, I truly feel a sense of "methodology validated."

Success isn’t complicated; it’s about controlling position sizes, setting stop-losses, and maintaining discipline.
