Many people ask, how can one achieve capital growth in the crypto space when funds are tight? The key is not luck, but having a systematic strategy and disciplined execution.



I have summarized a "Three-Level Position Management Method," distilled from multiple practical experiences, which is useful for both beginners and seasoned traders.

**Stage One: Small Start, Say No to All-In**

3000 yuan (about 400 USD) is insignificant in the crypto market, but if the method is proper, it can generate considerable returns. Failures usually stem from two points: greed and recklessness.

Practical advice is straightforward. Limit each trade to within 100 USD, withdraw the principal once you reach 200 USD, leaving only profits to continue trading. If you incur a loss, cut losses immediately and never add to losing positions.

When choosing assets, judgment is crucial. Follow mainstream coins like BTC and ETH when there are clear positive signals or volume breakthroughs. Avoid small-cap coins—risk of zeroing out far exceeds expected gains.

Another key discipline is called the "Two Wins in Three Games" rule. Doubling 100U to 200U counts as one win; after two consecutive wins, stop trading and transfer profits into stable positions. If you lose a game, halt trading for the day to give yourself time to cool down. This discipline may seem simple, but its execution can filter out 90% of failures. I’ve seen many use 100U for high-leverage contracts, winning nine times but unable to withstand one liquidation. The crypto market is not gambling; survival is necessary to seize real opportunities.

**Stage Two: Profit Rolling, Introducing Multi-Layer Hedging**

If the first stage is successfully completed, the account size should reach around 1100U. At this point, the strategy needs an upgrade.

Super short-term trading accounts for about 15% of the position, roughly 150U. Focus on 15-minute level swings, only trading BTC and ETH. Set a 3% stop-loss and a 5% take-profit. This layer aims for frequency and certainty, not single-trade gains.

Mid-term positions account for 35%, about 300U. Use this to capture 4-hour intermediate trends, deploying coins with fundamental support. Holding periods are typically 3-7 days, allowing for larger fluctuations.

Main positions make up 50%, around 550U. This is the core asset portion, used to hold long-term upward trends of BTC/ETH and other mainstream coins. Looser stop-losses can be set, or pyramid averaging can be employed.

This structural design can automatically hedge during market volatility. Quick entries and exits of small positions serve the larger positions, greatly enhancing overall risk resistance.

**Bottom Line for Execution**

No matter which stage, the bottom line is: always prioritize risk control. If the account experiences more than 15% monthly drawdown, immediately pause trading and reflect on system flaws. Greed for quick gains can destroy months of effort.

This method involves no black technology; its core is small amounts, frequent trades, discipline, and systematization. The focus is not on earning the most but on surviving the longest.

Good morning everyone, I saw this same argument again at 3 a.m. It's not wrong to say that— but the problem is, those who have discipline in execution have already made money, while those without will find it useless no matter how many times they read it. I've seen too many people treat "best of three" as a talisman, only to lose everything in the fourth game. The saying "live the longest" is harsh, because the people who live the shortest are the most receptive to it. Human nature is the most fragile part of the flesh, can you try not to touch the market for 15 minutes? True arbitrage opportunities often occur when you're asleep, which is why I call myself the midnight diner.

Living is more important than earning the most, this is the truth.

Well said, the phrase "live the longest" hits the mark, more practical than any single high-profit transaction.

To be honest, the phrase "live the longest" really hit me. So many people end up dying because of greed.

You're right, the key is to stay alive; a liquidation once and it's all for nothing.
