From 600U to 40,000U in just a few weeks: The survival secret that makes 90% of traders envious

In the crypto market, opportunities have never been scarce. The rarest thing is a clear head enough to turn opportunities into wallet balances. I once witnessed a friend caught in a whirlwind of emotions: his account vaporized to only 600U, entering trades like rolling dice—seeing green, he jumps in; seeing red, he waits silently for “divine favor.” The result? The more he gaffes, the more he loses. Then he completely changed his approach. Even hot coins no longer get him to chase, and speculative trades are only tested with small positions. If he doesn’t understand the chart, he stays out and watches. After three days of adjusting his habits, the 600U started to roll—within a few weeks, it surpassed 40,000U. Not because of luck, but because he built a system. Safety note: Crypto carries high risks. This article shares risk management and psychological experience, not investment advice.

1. Why Do Most Losses Not Come from the Market? The market is unfair. Big players go first, small traders follow. When bad news erupts, the big guys quietly exit, while small investors shout “buy the dip.” Meme hype cycles clearly show: huge profits are concentrated in a few, while thousands behind only pick up crumbs. Not to mention the “pull-the-rug” schemes that operate systematically, scam wallets with similar names, projects promising huge capital then disappearing. The market is not gentle—and it won’t wait for you to wake up.
2. Four Traps That Burn Your Account FOMO chasing the peak Seeing a rise and fearing missing out, jumping in at the top. A small correction is enough to wipe out gains. Holding losses in hope of recovery Not cutting losses when they happen, hoping “it will come back.” A 10% loss is easy to recover, but a 90% loss requires a tenfold increase to break even. Blindly following KOLs Recommendations can create short-term waves, but often lead to sell-offs afterward. Followers end up bearing the brunt. Overconfidence and excessive trading A few winning trades make you “fly,” but trading fees and consecutive mistakes erode your capital.
3. Turning the tide doesn’t require magic, just a system (1) Position management is paramount Risk per trade should not exceed 2% of the account. Use a “pyramid” approach: only add when in profit. Set stop-loss points for every entry; exit when hit. (2) Only make money from what you understand Avoid pump-and-dump coins, steer clear of vague trades. Enter only when the strength and signals are clear. If there’s no good setup, stay out—not trading is also a decision. (3) Use rules to lock emotions Two consecutive losses: take a day off. Three: avoid new listings, weekend trading, and low-liquidity plays.
4. Three Foundations to Survive Every Cycle Logic that can be verified Volume leads price, follow the major trend, breaking resistance needs confirmation over multiple sessions—basic principles that beat all “insider news.” Patience not driven by emotion Core portfolio: large coins as the foundation, smaller ones for high profits. Rebalance periodically: take profits when increasing, buy gradually during deep dips. Discipline in execution Regular investments with fixed amounts help average costs over time. Don’t dream of catching the bottom at the peak—that’s not for the masses. Conclusion Crypto is not short of stars, only of those who live through cycles. Those who turn trading into a repetitive, boring job—acting on signals, waiting when not yet ready—are the ones who go the distance. Going from 600U to 40,000U is not a fairy tale. When the direction is right, the rhythm steady, and the position clean, growth becomes an inevitable result. True freedom in the market isn’t about doing whatever you want, but knowing when to… do nothing.
