Let's be honest—in this market, nine out of ten people end up as just bystanders.

It's not that the market is too difficult; it's that most people simply can't do one thing: become cold, mechanical execution machines.

I know a friend who started with 1,500 bucks and, after three months, turned his account into 45,000. He never got liquidated, never chased after hot trends. His approach was unbelievably simple—he stuck to three core principles, completely shielding his human emotions from trading.

**First, diversification is life insurance.**

How to allocate 1,500 dollars? He split it into three parts:

- 500 for short-term trades, focusing on one opportunity each day. When he's done, he stops—no greed;
- 500 for medium-term trades, only acting once every ten days or half a month, waiting for clear trend signals;
- The remaining 500 sits idle as a reserve, kept as backup ammunition.

I've seen too many people blow all their bullets right from the start. When the market fluctuates slightly, they have no room to breathe. Surviving in crypto is more important than making money.

**Next, follow the trend—don't jump around in the mud.**

Most of the time, the market is just frustrating, oscillating back and forth and eating into your capital. Frequent trading? That's like working for the exchange.

The smart traders wait for the trend to emerge before acting. When they jump in, they take a big bite—taking profits once they reach over 20%. The money goes into their pocket; anything left on the books can evaporate at any moment.

Wait for the right moment, then act decisively—and you’ll enjoy a feast. That’s the smart way.

**Finally, discipline—replace feelings with rules.**

He set three strict rules for himself:

- Stop-loss at 2%; if it hits, exit immediately—no illusions;
- Take profit at 4%, then reduce position—lock in some gains;
- Never add to a losing position; the more you do, the worse your mindset, and plans fall apart.

Having strict rules prevents emotions from interfering. You won't fall into the trap of "buying when it drops, selling when it rises." The market only respects calm, rational people—not panicked gamblers.

This circle never lacks opportunities; what it lacks is those who endure until the right moment arrives.

Are you ready?

Sounds familiar, but what I see more are those who come in with the "Winning Mindset" and end up with negative account balances after three months. The concept of position splitting is correct; most people simply can't stick with it, and when a market wave comes, they forget everything.

That's right, but it's just too hard to keep the right mindset. Seeing the account drop by 10% makes you want to go all in to turn it around, but it just results in a big loss.

That's right, greed is what kills people. I've also had my own setbacks. --- The set of position splitting strategies is indeed excellent. I almost died of fright when I went all-in with full position before, now I'm learning to split my positions. --- Running with a 20% profit? Sounds easy as hell, but how many actually do it? I tend to be greedy and always want to eat one more bite. --- I accept the 2% stop-loss rule, even though it’s uncomfortable every time, those who don’t accept it are long gone. --- Frequent trading is like working for the exchange—that's a harsh truth. My monthly fees used to scare me to death. --- The key is still mindset. Everyone understands discipline, but when it comes to execution, everyone makes excuses. When the market swings, everything gets chaotic. --- Looking at analysis like this is a bit annoying. It’s not wrong, but it feels like trading is overly simplified and idealized. In reality, it’s not that straightforward. --- A $45,000 figure sounds great, but I want to know how many pitfalls this guy has stepped into before realizing these three points. In the end, he only shares success stories.

That's right, the ones around me who are blowing up are those who can't control their hands; the ones making real money are actually just idle every day.

Oh man, that hits too close to home. I, an impulsive boy, just can't do that. It's the same story again—1500 turns into 45,000. I don't believe you. Position splitting, stop loss, no re-adding to the position... all sound right, but as soon as I hesitate, everything's gone.

That's so true. I'm one of those nine, haha, bitter smile... --- I've understood the logic of position splitting for a long time, but I just can't execute it. Whenever I see a rise, I get itchy hands. --- That friend is really a living Bodhisattva. Turning 1500 into 45,000 and still sleeping soundly. My goodness. --- Discipline is the hardest part. Who can truly stick to a 2% cut... I mean it seriously. --- "The missing piece is those who can endure until the moment the opportunity arrives," this really hit my heart. --- I have a lot of say about adding positions. The more I add, the deeper I get trapped, it has become a lesson. --- Short-term 500, mid-term 500, bottom-of-the-box 500. Sounds super simple, but actually doing it is extremely difficult. --- The problem isn't the strategy; it's whether you can really turn off your emotions. It tests human nature greatly.

You're quite right, but execution is really the hardest part. I belong to those nine people who always think they can do it. It looks simple, but when it comes to actually executing, the mindset completely collapses. Stop-loss is incredibly difficult; I always want to wait a bit longer. Turning 1500 into 45000 is indeed impressive, but the problem is I also understand this logic, and the issue is that I just can't do it. I've tried position sizing, but in the end, I couldn't resist pushing my core position in as well. The real problem isn't the strategy; it's having the guts to be tough on yourself. Most people lack this.

That's right, it's a mindset issue. I've seen too many people go all-in after making some profit, only to have their dreams shattered by a sudden pullback.

Well...分仓确实是保命，但99%的人还是干不出来，心态一崩全完。 --- Basically, it's about execution. Those who can do it are making money, while those who can't are still losing. --- 1500x to 45,000x, that number sounds great, but the real bottleneck is that cold-bloodedness, which most people can't achieve. --- The most heartbreaking thing isn't technology; it's that after establishing rules, only a few can really stick to them... --- So ultimately, it's still a mindset issue. Even if your trend judgment is correct, a single震荡 can blow your mind. --- "Staying alive is more important than making money," I've heard this a hundred times, but only a tiny few truly survive. --- 分仓, trend, discipline, sound simple, but in practice, it's hell.
