Here's a candid truth: if your account still has less than 2000U, now is not the time to think about how to double your money quickly. First, consider how not to lose it all.



I have a friend who did exactly that last year. Starting with 1000U, his account grew to over 40,000 in two months. Throughout the process, he never liquidated his position or lost his composure. When asked about his secret? There’s no real secret—just a method to survive.

**Positioning is the first step**

Don’t put all 1000U into one shot. Break it down: some for short-term trades, at most one order per day; another portion for swing opportunities, only making a move every ten days or half a month; and a part that never moves, serving as a safety net for the account. Going all-in isn’t bravery; it’s suicide. Many people get wiped out here.

**Only engage in clear market conditions**

Don’t trade during sideways markets. When the direction isn’t clear, just stay out and wait. Better to miss a wave than to follow the crowd blindly. There are plenty of market opportunities, but your capital is only one. Decide what’s more important.

**Embed rules in your mind**

Set your stop-loss numbers in stone and stick to them. Small losses are common—don’t be afraid. When there’s profit, take some off early—don’t be greedy. Once your account starts making obvious gains, withdraw the money in batches. A special note: if you lose, just accept it; never add to your position to average down. This is the fundamental reason most people can never turn their fortunes around.

What happened later? His account had long surpassed 100,000. More importantly, he no longer needs to stare at the screen all day or stay up late. His quality of life has improved.

I want to tell everyone starting with small capital: only when your capital is alive can you talk about doubling. Positioning, waiting for the right rhythm, managing risk—these methods may seem dull, but they can save you from five years of pitfalls. The fastest path to wealth in the crypto world often involves slowing down and settling in first.

You're really not wrong. The group of people who are fully invested are still crying. I’ve seen one guy lose his principal in just two weeks. Splitting the position sounds simple, but few can actually stick with it.

Sub-accounts really save lives. I used to be fully invested and lost everything, now I understand.

The concept of position splitting has been talked about to death, but 99% of people just can't do it. I'm part of that 99%, haha.

Using a partial position is indeed more reliable than going all-in with a full position.
