# 1200U rolled to 38,000U: The core of making money in the cryptocurrency world, staying alive is more important than making quick profits

I have seen too many friends with small capital, holding a few hundred to a thousand U, always wanting to "double it in one go," but within half a month, they lose all and exit. But one cryptocurrency beginner I guided started with 1200U and grew it to 25,000U in 4 months, and now their account is stable at over 38,000U, without encountering any major issues throughout. This isn't luck; it's the core method I discovered from 8000U to achieve stable returns, and I'm sharing it with you today:

First rule: Divide the capital into three parts, staying alive allows you to earn

Split 1200U into three portions of 400U:

The first portion is for day trading, focusing on just one trade a day; once the target is reached, secure the profit without lingering;

The second portion is for swing trading, avoiding chasing small fluctuations, waiting for clear trends to emerge before acting, aiming for profit margins of over 10%;

The third portion is kept as a reserve, never touching it—this is your lifeline during poor market conditions. Most people fail because they act impulsively without a backup plan. Remember: staying alive is the first step to making a comeback.

Second rule: Only take advantage of major trends; acting randomly is like giving away money

The market spends 80% of its time in consolidation, and frequently opening trades just means paying fees to the platform. When there’s no market activity, be patient. For instance, if a core asset consolidates for over 3 days, close the software; wait for it to break below the consolidation range or stabilize above key moving averages, and then enter when the trend is clear. Furthermore, if profits exceed 20% of the principal, withdraw 30% to secure gains— I often tell beginners, "Stay inactive most of the time, and when you do act, ensure it’s a stable profit," which is much more reliable than trading every day.

Third rule: Use rules to manage emotions, don’t rely on gut feelings when placing orders

Set three strict rules in advance:

1. Set a stop loss at 2%, and you must cut losses regardless of any subsequent rebound;

2. When profits exceed 4%, reduce the position by half, allowing the remaining profits to run;

3. Absolutely do not add to a losing position, don’t think about “lowering the average price.”

You don’t need to make the right judgment every time, but execution must be precise—the highest level of making money is letting rules manage your emotions, avoiding letting greed or panic disrupt your rhythm.

In fact, small capital has never been the problem; the issue is always thinking about “getting rich overnight.” Turning 1200U into 38,000U relies not on gambling but on risk control and waiting for opportunities. If you are still losing sleep over the fluctuations of a few hundred U and don’t know how to allocate capital or identify trends, I would be happy to slowly share this method with you.

Sometimes, it just takes understanding “how to be stable” rather than “how to be quick” to avoid three years of detours.
