Why do retail investors lose everything as soon as they enter the market? Essentially, they treat "getting rich overnight" as an excuse for gambling. The result? They end up maxing out credit cards one after another, and their accounts are wiped clean.

I also started as a small retail trader, beginning with 2000U, with no background—just an ordinary worker. But after years of hard work and experience, my account has now been consistently over 1 million U. Some people don’t believe it, and I can understand—but this is the reality in front of us.

I never ask "How much can I make this wave?" I only ask "Should I participate in this wave?" True wealth accumulation, frankly, is about learning when not to act.

**First Stage: Testing the Waters with Controlled Positions**

Divide 2000U into 5 parts, each 400U, and trade independently. Every trade must have stop-loss and take-profit orders—this is not optional, but a strict requirement. Chasing highs and selling lows? No way. Averaging down? Never. Only take opportunities I truly understand. Honestly, during this phase, when I knew nothing, about 80% of the time was spent waiting and observing the trend characteristics of mainstream coins like ZEC, ETH.

**Second Stage: Snowballing Profits**

When the account grows to 10,000U, I start adjusting my strategy. Limit each trade’s risk exposure to about 25% of the total funds. What’s the key? Position scaling. When I see the trend direction correctly, I don’t greedily go all-in at once, but build positions in batches, aiming to catch the middle of the trend—this is where the big profits come from. Many people get stuck here: either going all in or all out, with no rhythm.

**Third Stage: Locking in Profits**

After the account exceeds 200,000U, my mindset changes. I set aside a portion of weekly profits for withdrawal. Not because I fear losses, but because I fear myself getting complacent. Have you ever seen a gambler get richer the more they gamble? No, the ones who stop in time tend to live the longest. Steady operation is actually the only way to achieve long-term high profits.

**Why do most people blow up their accounts?**

First, they have completely disorganized positions—heavy leverage, full positions, repeatedly adding leverage—without any risk management concept. That’s suicidal trading.

Second, they never set stop-losses. When they lose, they deceive themselves into expecting a rebound, but end up losing everything. The market won’t stop falling just because you hope it will.

Third, they correctly predict the trend but get killed by over-leverage and emotional swings. They see Solana’s rise but hold on stubbornly, eventually forced to liquidate. That’s what we call losing both wife and soldiers.

A follower of mine followed my approach and turned 1000U into 20,000U in three months, just withdrew yesterday. He was so excited he couldn’t sleep all night, and we talked on the phone for nearly two hours. Watching such growth stories, honestly, I feel a bit emotional. It’s not about how many people are making money, but that some are truly turning their situation around with a scientific methodology.

Everyone’s starting point may be different, but the pitfalls in the market are always similar. You may have been exploring alone in the dark before, but now you have a clear direction. Position management, risk control, trend recognition—these are not some advanced theories, but fundamental skills to help you survive longer and earn more steadily.
