Trading is neither as difficult as some make it out to be nor as simple as others claim. A fan named A-Rui followed me for half a year last year and turned an initial capital of 2000U into 120,000U. Throughout the process, he didn’t go all-in or rely on luck. The key was mastering the rhythm of position scaling.

Why do beginners often get wrecked? Simply put, it’s because their mindset isn’t stable. They impulsively buy when the market rises and get scared and exit when it falls. The fundamental issue is that they don’t understand the market’s temperament.

I’ve summarized three key points to share:

**First, in the face of an uptrend, consolidation is a trap.** Many people like to chase during choppy markets, only to get slapped back and forth. Where are the real opportunities? Wait until the trend is clear, with institutional volume increasing, price breaking out, and market sentiment ignited. Only then is placing orders reliable. Just like several breakout runs of BTC, those who positioned early made huge profits.

**Second, let unrealized gains drive additional positions, not cover losses.** Invest only 5% of your capital initially. Once there are unrealized profits, gradually add to the position, and continue to scale in if profits exceed 50%. Many people do the opposite—they hold on stubbornly when losing, but shrink back when winning. How can they grow? The real approach is to amplify advantages while in profit.

**Third, take profits strategically using phased methods.** First, lock in some profits to ensure safety, then leave some to protect the principal, and finally, let the remaining run freely.

From 2000U to 120,000U, this is how we progressed step by step. Opportunities in the crypto space are never lacking; what’s missing are those who can stay steady and execute effectively. The market is hot right now, making it an excellent time for these strategies to work.
