People entering the crypto world are all dreaming of getting rich overnight.

But to be honest: getting rich quickly isn’t impossible; the key is not to gamble recklessly.

I started with a small principal of just a few thousand USD, with no big capital—just a retail trader constantly watching K-line charts. Now, my account has long surpassed eight figures, and that’s not luck; it’s discipline that’s paid off—growing little by little.

I never care about how much I can make in a single wave. I keep my eyes on the screen and repeatedly ask myself the same question: Should I enter this market move?

From a small fund to its current scale, I’ve gone through three stages, and today I’m open to sharing:

**Stage One: Position Sizing and Practice (Survival is the top priority)**

Divide your starting capital into 5 parts, using only one part each time to build a position. Every trade must have a stop loss and take profit, no chasing, no holding onto losing positions, no betting against the trend. Only take opportunities where the K-line is clear. For beginners, the most important thing isn’t how much you earn, but whether you survive.

**Stage Two: Profits Growing Larger (The watershed from small to big)**

After reaching your first small goal, control each trade to about a quarter of your total position. When the K-line indicates a trend-following move, add to your position in batches, only capturing profits in the middle of the trend; don’t greed over the start or end of the move. This step is crucial—it determines whether you can transition from retail funds to large capital.

**Stage Three: Fixed Take Profits and Withdrawals (Protect your gains)**

Once your account surpasses a key threshold, lock in some profits weekly. Not because you’re afraid of losing, but to prevent overconfidence. Many people earn and then lose it all back because they’re too greedy or overconfident. Remember: stability is the biggest secret to making huge profits in the crypto space.

The reasons for liquidation are basically these three: inability to control position size, no stop loss, and stubbornly holding against the trend. Missing even one can ruin you, let alone all three.

I’ve seen fans grow their small funds into dozens of times their original capital and successfully withdraw—going from reckless impulsiveness to being able to independently analyze K-lines and execute steadily. That’s what I want to see the most.

The crypto market works like this: only with strict rules and rhythm can you earn real money.
