Many people enter the market to trade cryptocurrencies, initially thinking about getting rich overnight, but the result is often quick liquidation. Actually, in this market, luck plays a far less important role; what truly determines victory or defeat is desire management and execution ability. I have grown from an initial few thousand USD to over fifty million USD by relying on a systematic methodology and strict discipline.



**Phase One: Position Control During the Practice Period**

When starting trading, never go all-in. Setting stop-loss and take-profit levels is fundamental; this helps you avoid being swept away by market emotions. The goal at this stage is very simple—capital preservation. As long as your funds are not severely compromised, you have already outperformed most people. Many beginners get wiped out here because they lack discipline—buying all in when bullish, collapsing when bearish.

**Phase Two: Moderate Offense After Consistent Profits**

Once your account shows signs of growth, you can moderately increase your position size, controlling risk exposure around 25%. Building positions in batches helps you better capture mid-trend gains, allowing you to follow the market while avoiding overexposure. The mindset at this stage is crucial—be bold but not reckless.

**Phase Three: Lock in Profits and Zero Out Risks**

After reaching profit targets, gradually withdraw funds to lock in gains. Many people fail at this step because they are reluctant to take profits. The market will always present opportunities, but your profits may not. Regular withdrawals make risk more manageable and keep your mindset healthier.

**Why do so many get liquidated? It’s often due to these issues:**

Disorganized positions, emotional swings with market fluctuations; inability to set stop-losses, stubbornly holding onto wrong directions, ending up losing everything; correctly predicting the market but failing to profit, getting stuck in small fluctuations and missing the big trend.

I once guided a trader from 600 USD to 30,000 USD. He finally withdrew his funds the day before yesterday, and was so excited he couldn’t sleep all night. Now he has found his rhythm and trading style, which is true growth.

If you want to go far in the crypto world, solo trading isn’t enough. Information, community, finding the right people—these are all very important. Strategy, discipline, and mindset—missing any one of these is not acceptable. Follow the right direction, make the right choices, and reaching the other side is no longer a dream. Steady progress is the way to go further.

That's right, but most people can't do it... Even if they see it clearly, they still fail at the mindset level.

You're right, the key is to let go of that greed, or you'll eventually fall down.

Honestly, after so many years of stories in the crypto world, the only logic that truly survives is this: there's nothing new. Winners are all focused on doing solid work, losers are all about storytelling. It's just like that.

That's right, the key really is discipline. But those 50 million probably went through a few mental breakdowns too, right? Really, I've seen too many people go all-in on a single trade, and it’s gone in a day. It’s heartbreaking. Stop-loss is like taking medicine; you know it’s uncomfortable, but you still have to grit your teeth and set it. Withdrawing funds is the most heartbreaking step—earning money but reluctant to cash out. I've seen this happen before. The crypto world is actually like this; it’s not that making money is difficult, but rather that holding onto the profits is even harder.
