When I met Amin, the account had 500U left, trading at an internet café during the day and sleeping in the hallway at night. After 8 days, he sent a screenshot of 2803U along with a picture of instant noodles, saying in the group that he was 'lucky'. In reality, this 5.6 times increase hid his patience in monitoring stop-losses late at night and his restraint in not increasing positions at take-profit — the key in the crypto world is to use 'simple methods' to combat anxiety.

Phase One: The first 3 days, 500U as the 'life-saving framework'

He once traded 400U with 500U, and I advised him to change the rules: open a position with 10% of the capital (50U) each time, with a stop-loss of 3%, and even after 10 wrong trades he would still have 350U left.

① 50U trial position to control risk

Open a position of 50U with 3x leverage, with a maximum loss of 1.5U. He lost 3U in the first two trades, leaving 497U (compared to previously, where losing twice left him with 100U). In the third trade, he made 4.2U on an ETH long position, understanding that the first lesson for small capital is 'being able to afford losses'.

② Only trade 'clear trends'

Only trade coins that 'rise while lying down' on the 4-hour chart (candlestick charts climbing stairs, with pullbacks ≤5%, supported by the 5-day moving average).

Phase Two: The next 3 days, profit as the 'rolling position ladder'

The account grew to 600U, and he wanted to increase his position by 20%. I reminded him: with small capital, moving positions slowly is fast. He increased his position according to the 'climbing stairs' method:

① Earn 100U, add 20U to position

For every additional 100U in the account, add 20U to the position (600U uses 70U, 700U uses 90U). Amin's SOL long position: after making 12U with 50U, he increased to 70U and made another 16.8U, with low risk and high profit; he set aside profits in a 'meal card account', saving 300U in 8 days for short-term rent.

② Add position at 'knee level' during pullbacks

'Knee level' means a 5% pullback (e.g., ETH2000→1900), Amin added 70U at this level, which rose to 2050 in 3 hours, earning 21U.

③ Force a flat position after two consecutive wins

Set an alarm: after two consecutive wins, close the software. After making 18U in a row, he wanted to increase his position. When the alarm went off, he took a walk and returned to see the coin had pulled back, losing only 12U.

Phase Three: The last 2 days, 'take profit in three cuts'

The account reached 2500U, and he feared a pullback. I taught him 'take profit in three cuts' (withdraw money with each cut):

① Cut when earning 30%

Cut 30% of 2500U (750U), withdraw money to buy a mattress, leaving 1750U to continue, even if he loses he has a bed to sleep on.

② Cut again at a 5% pullback

When ETH pulled back by 4.8%, he cut 50% (875U), and when the coin dropped another 10%, he remained calm.

③ Clear the position and rest for 1 day

Finally, he cleared 875U, went to the park, and turned off his phone: 'When you win, you must rest; always killing will lead to being counter-killed.'

The crypto world lacks opportunities, but it lacks people who dare to use simple methods. From 500U to 2800U, only the 12 characters 'do not gamble, do not be greedy, do not fear slowness' make the difference. @Air 安叔
