In this market, most people want to get rich overnight, but in the end, those who can truly make money and exit unscathed are often the players who can control the pace, understand the market trends, and are willing to use stop loss.

Many people are curious about how a retail investor who started with a few thousand U can grow their account. To be honest, there’s no secret - it all comes down to four words: don't mess around.

When I first entered the market, I only had 1000U. My strategy is to divide the money into five parts, with 200U for each trade. Each order must set a stop loss, and remember the three taboos: don't chase the rise, don't go against the trend, and don't hold onto losing positions. I often remind myself of one thing: coming to the market is not about risking my life, it's about "shearing sheep." If I don't understand clearly, I simply stay in cash; only when I see clearly do I take action.

When it reached the 10,000 USDT mark, I started to increase my position, but the method changed — instead of going all in at once, I gradually built up my position after confirming the trend. At this point, I finally understood a principle: going with the trend to make profits is the way to go, while going against the trend is just asking for trouble.

When the account rose to 200,000 U, the first thing I did was not to be happy, but to withdraw the profits. Since then, I have developed a habit: to lock in a portion of the floating profit every week and turn it into dead money in the bank. This is not about being afraid of losses, but about controlling the sense of inflation I have — if you float in the crypto market once, the market will pin you down.

I have a friend who followed this logic and managed to grow from 800U to 12,000U. Every time I see screenshots of his account, I think the same question: the real difference in success is never about who has better luck, but rather about who has a more stable mindset.
