#数字资产生态回暖 $ZEC Principal multiplied by 40 times? Trader's survival manual from 1200U to 500,000U in three months



I once met a professional trader whose account had only 1200U left. Three months later, it grew to 500,000U with zero liquidation during the entire period. His method doesn't sound fancy, but when broken down, every step is a battle against human nature.

**Positioning is the prerequisite for survival**
1200U is divided into three independent accounts, each with 400U:
• Short-term small pool: Up to two trades per day, stop trading once executed. No chasing highs, no adding to positions.
• Trend large pool: Only focus on weekly-level confirmed trends; ignore intraday oscillations.
• Insurance pool: The last line of defense during extreme drops. If any pool encounters issues, this fund is immediately replenished.

Why go through all this trouble? Because a single all-in bet can knock you out. Positioning is essentially buying the right to try—giving yourself a chance to survive. The market won't go soft just because you're heavily betting.

**Only take the highest certainty opportunities**
Consolidation is a meat grinder; most people's principal gets wiped out in such markets. His entry logic is as crude as it gets:
1. If the daily moving averages haven't formed a bullish alignment, then wait. Do nothing.
2. Breakthrough of previous high with volume, confirmed by daily close? That’s the signal.
3. When profit reaches 30% of the principal, sell half immediately to realize gains. Set a 10% trailing stop on the remaining position.

Opportunities are available every day, but once the principal is lost, it's truly gone. He never tries to catch the start or end of a trend, only the thickest middle part.

**Turn all decisions into a process**
Before each trade, he notes two strict rules:
• If loss hits 3%, stop immediately. No bargaining.
• When profit reaches 10%, move the stop-loss to the cost price; let the rest ride with the trend.
• Close the software at 11 PM, regardless of how tempting the candlesticks look. Sleep is more valuable than reviewing.

**Growing from 1200 to 500,000U is not about prediction ability**
It's about surviving through mistakes. Wave theory, Fibonacci, funding rates—these are all based on one premise: your account is still alive. Survival rate is everything; making money comes second.

Stay alive first, then make money. If you can't survive, you become someone else's liquidity.

The split position strategy is indeed powerful, but to be honest, most people can't stick with it for more than three months; their mindset will break first.

Sub-accounts are truly amazing, but it's exhausting. Switching between a bunch of accounts back and forth, but indeed, living longer than those who gamble everything on one shot.

Honestly, the concept of position splitting really resonated with me. It's much more reliable than those mysterious K-line theories.

The logic of position splitting sounds like playing a probability game; how many people can truly stick to it...

The concept of position splitting really has some merit, but to be honest, most people simply can't execute it. Just by advising against adding positions alone, you can dissuade half of the people.

The idea of position splitting is spot on, but the real challenge is not to act. I've seen too many people constantly talk about discipline, and as soon as two limit-downs happen, they start adding to their positions haha.

Positioning this set really hits the pain points. It's not just trading skills; it's practically a mental conditioning manual. I also thought about doing this back then, but in the end, I couldn't resist going all-in, serves me right for losing.

Partitioning is truly awesome. I previously went all-in and only understood this principle after it exploded... Being alive is a hundred times more important than making money.
