Recently, I saw someone in the trading group post a margin call screenshot again, which really made me feel a bit emotional. This market is specifically designed to punish those who are impatient and reckless—especially beginners, who try to get rich overnight with a small amount of money, only to be wiped out within a few trading days.
However, I have a friend who actually started with a principal of 7000U and managed to grow it to 32,000U within a month, now steadily above 35,000U. Curious, I asked him how he did it, and he smiled and said he used three "simple methods."
**First Trick: Divide Funds into Three Parts, Each with Its Own Strategy**
He splits his principal like this—
200U for ultra-short-term trading. This part only does intraday trades, with a simple and straightforward goal: make 3%-5% profit and then exit immediately, never getting tempted by the K-line chart. He describes it vividly: "This is grocery money, just earning some pocket change."
300U for swing trading. Focuses on key level breakthroughs on the 4-hour chart, aiming for a few points of profit with stop-losses. This is his "main fleet," but he always checks BTC’s mood before placing any orders.
The remaining 200U is "insurance money." He never touches this fund, just to prevent himself from getting itchy and adding to positions. His words: "Leave a breath to survive the bear market."
Most people's problem is here—they put all their money in at once, frequently trading during volatile periods, and when a real trend arrives, they have no bullets left. His layered approach may seem clumsy, but it’s actually a bottom-line logic for survival.
**Second Trick: When the Market Looks Unpromising, I Stop Watching the Charts**
He said something that left a deep impression: "If BTC is sideways for more than three days, I just turn off the software and go rest." Why? He explained that a market without volume is like dead water; no matter how many stones you throw, no waves will splash. Why bother staring at the screen until your eyes turn red?
Once the trend is confirmed and there are signs of volume breakout, he decisively joins in for a quick gain. After making profits, he also forces himself to move 20% into a cold wallet: "Only money that’s truly in my pocket counts; otherwise, it’s just on paper, and it can run away so fast."
In contrast, many beginners do the opposite—they trade desperately during sideways periods, aiming for daily gains, but when a big trend finally arrives, they are crushed by previous losses and lose confidence.
**Third Detail: Stop-Loss and Take-Profit Must Be Cold-Blooded Like Machines**
His discipline is very strict. Once a position hits a preset loss point, he stops out unconditionally. Similarly, if profits reach his target, he never gets greedy: "Just like clocking out of work—when it’s time, you leave. Even if the work is good, you wait for tomorrow."
In this market, the ones who end up losing big are not those with poor decision-making, but those with lax execution. A good trading plan can be ruined entirely if you change your mind midway.
Ultimately, the core of his ability to make stable profits from small amounts boils down to three points: don’t be greedy, don’t be lazy, don’t change your mind. The layered funds ensure room for trial and error, mental discipline helps him avoid market traps, and strict rules guarantee everything is implemented. It seems simple, but few people can stick to it.

That's right, greed is truly the devil.
This guy has indeed thought to the core; layering can really save lives.
I envy it, but I still have to hold back; it's tough.
It's the same old story, I've heard it a hundred times, but actually doing it is another matter.
Cold wallets in hand, I approve of this.

That's correct, implementing stop-loss is indeed the most difficult part to execute.

That's right, but I'm just worried that some people still can't overcome their greed after reading.

It sounds like they are very disciplined, but how many people can really stick with it?

It's just another story of "friends earning ten times more per month," just listen to it.
