Many people enter the crypto world thinking about getting rich overnight, but this path is not feasible. I need to say some hard truths: you can try to turn things around, but never gamble recklessly.

I started with only a few thousand USD as initial capital, just an ordinary retail investor. Now, my account has grown to several tens of millions. You might not believe it, but this is the result of my step-by-step efforts. I never expect to make a huge profit in one wave, I only care whether each market opportunity is worth participating in.

Many friends want to know, how did a few thousand USD turn into a large fund? Today, I’ll share some of my trading insights from years of experience.

**Phase 1: Small Capital Precision Trading**
Divide 1200 USD into 4 parts, each 300 USD. Every trade must have stop-loss and take-profit set. No chasing trades, no resisting trades, and no hard bets against the trend—only take opportunities you understand clearly. This phase is about building a foundation and cultivating discipline.

**Phase 2: Trend-following Position Expansion**
When the account reaches 20,000 USD, risk per trade should be controlled at about 25% of total funds. Once the trend is confirmed upward, I will add positions in batches to capture mid-trend profits. The key is to keep pace, avoid chasing highs, and not hold on stubbornly.

**Phase 3: Regular Profit Taking**
After the account exceeds 150,000 USD, I lock in some profits weekly and withdraw. It’s not because I fear losses, but to prevent my mindset from drifting. Steady and prudent is the highest form of profit.

Most people blow up their accounts for the same reasons: chaotic position management, no stop-loss, and sticking to the wrong direction while resisting the trend. Falling into any of these three traps is disastrous.

I’ve seen a friend who grew from 800 USD to 15,000 USD, and recently withdrew, excited enough to have insomnia that night. This kind of witnessing growth is more meaningful than anything else.

In the crypto world, those who can survive are ultimately those who understand risk management and have execution ability. The method isn’t complicated; the difficulty lies in persistence.
