Honestly, there are very few people in the crypto world who can truly make money, maybe less than 10%.

I previously helped a fan with a capital of 1500U, and in just three months, he turned it into 45,000U, without ever being liquidated. The method he used isn't new; it's the same "counterintuitive" system I developed when I started with 7000U and grew it to eight figures, which has been proven effective through market validation.

**First Tip: Positioning is Survival**

My advice is straightforward—divide the 1500U into three parts, each 500U, with different missions. The first part is for intraday trading, only one operation per day, and exit immediately once the target is reached—don't try to earn more. The second part is for swing trading, operating once every ten days or half a month, waiting for those big market moves that can turn the tide. The third part is for holding as a bottom position; no matter how turbulent the market gets, this money is for survival, and it must stay untouched.

Many newcomers go all-in right away, and when the market turns, they get liquidated immediately, with no chance to see a rebound. The first lesson in crypto is to survive; only by staying alive can you multiply your gains.

**Second Tip: Wait for the Wind, Don’t Fumble During Calm Periods**

About 80% of the market time is consolidation. During this period, frequent trading is just burning money in vain. Learn to wait; only take action when a clear trend appears. True experts don't trade every day—they only take positions to capture the entire trend's profit.

Another key point—when profits accumulate to a certain level, say over 20%, you should take out 30% to secure your gains. This money is yours; it might even disappear from your account in the end.

**Third Tip: Use Rules to Tame Emotions**

The biggest risk in trading is emotional breakdown. So I set three unbreakable rules: set stop-loss at 2%, and run when hit—no negotiation; take profit at 4% and reduce position to protect some gains; never add to losing positions, as adding is emotional and can lead to deeper traps.

Stabilize your emotions, and the market will treat you gently. Your funds can then grow steadily, rather than fluctuating wildly with your heartbeat.

Opportunities in the crypto world are everywhere; the question is whether you can survive until the moment to seize them. Should you set rules for yourself?

According to studies, the success rate of this type of trading strategy has a correlation coefficient of up to 0.87 with execution discipline. It is worth noting that the "partitioning method" mentioned in the article actually corresponds to the modern application of the Kelly formula—technically, a 30-fold increase from 1500U to 45,000U is indeed possible, but the conclusion based on a sample size of n=1 lacks sufficient statistical significance.

Using this sub-accounts system is really the way to go; anyone not following it is just giving money to the exchange.

I have deep experience with position sizing. Those who are fully invested have long been educated by the market, so there's nothing much to say. The real difficulty is sticking to not adding to your position. I've made that mistake myself—once I add to my position, I get emotional, and in the end, I end up losing even more. Ninety percent of people in the crypto world die from emotional reactions. Rules and principles sound easy to talk about, but executing them is extremely difficult. Hearing that the price can go from 1,500 to 45,000 sounds impressive, but do you really understand the probability? I've heard many times about the anti-human nature system, but how many people actually follow through with it? Waiting for the right moment is indeed effective, but most people can't wait and get very itchy to act. A 2% stop-loss sounds simple, but when you actually face it, you realize how painful it is and how hard it is to let go. Only by surviving can you multiply your gains. That's true, but the prerequisite is having an opportunity.

The split position strategy is indeed reliable, just worried that most people simply can't execute it. --- 1500 to 45,000, this number is really eye-catching, but just sticking to not adding to the position can discourage more than half of people. --- It sounds good, but how many can truly resist acting during 80% consolidation? --- Stop loss at 2%, reduce position by 4%, no adding to the position—sounds simple, but in practice, it's a battle against one's own greed. --- I agree with this logic; surviving is the premise, but at the same time, you have to endure the restless feeling of watching the market move every day. --- The phrase "lock in profits" hits the hardest—how many people's profits in their accounts end up not being realized? --- I've tried the idea of dividing into three parts, but the wave trading part became my ATM, while the intraday part didn't last long. --- Making 4% and then reducing the position? Seems a bit conservative, but looking at it from another angle, never adding when losing also seems quite safe.

After hearing about sub-accounts for a while, how many people can truly stick to not touching the third main position for three months? I haven't seen any myself.

From 1,500 to 45,000, this story sounds a bit unbelievable, but the logic of dividing positions to survive is indeed foolproof. Full position means courting death; I've paid the price with blood and tears for this lesson. Waiting for the wind is a thousand times better than blindly messing around, really. The saying "take profits and secure your gains" should be engraved in the mind of everyone who has lost money. Adding to positions is truly an emotional illness; once you start, you can't stop. I've seen too many cases. People who can't stop often end up dying in consolidation, with no exceptions. A simple rule like reducing 4% and setting a 2% stop-loss is actually the most effective. In the crypto world, it's a matter of life and death; rules are the only way to survive. This thing, frankly, is about restraint; most people simply can't do it.

Basically, you can only make money by not getting liquidated; those fully invested have become martyrs. Really, I have to share the 2% stop-loss rule with friends who are losing money every day. From 1500 to 45,000, that number looks great, but out of ten people, eight end up losing everything. Don't overestimate your mindset. Waiting for the wind to come, I respect this move. Spending 80% of the time in consolidation can indeed make you itchy. Securing profits is truly something only a few can do; most are greedier than they realize. Why does it feel like this is some big V's "exclusive secret"? There’s a new story every month. The idea of dividing positions is not wrong, but no one has the execution ability. Adding to positions is really a deadly disease; once you start, you can't stop. The problem isn't the rules; it's that a market decline can crush people's mentality. I've definitely heard of this system before, but the key is to stay calm; otherwise, all rules are useless.
