#数字资产市场动态 Achieving over $40,000 in four months with $1,500 is simple—just three words: stay steady.



I guided a friend who started with $1,500, and throughout the process, there was zero high leverage and zero directional gambling. Steadily, in four months, the account grew to $45,000. It sounds straightforward, but every move was carefully calculated.

First trick: divide your funds wisely. Don’t put all $1,500 in at once; split it into three parts—one for short-term trades, quick in and out; one for trend-following, patiently waiting for a breakout; and the last part, treat as nonexistent—avoid touching it no matter what. This cautious approach to position sizing actually leaves you room to breathe. The longer you stay in the market, the higher your chances of winning.

Second trick: only trade when the trend is already clear. If the market is still in consolidation, turn off your software—don’t look for trouble. The real opportunities are during the smooth upward breakouts. Once you make some profit, take out your initial capital first, then let the remaining profit run.

Third trick: discipline is your only moat. Cut losses decisively at the stop-loss point—don’t give yourself a chance to justify holding. Lock in profits immediately by reducing your position—don’t be greedy. Never add to losing positions—averaging down often makes things worse.

During these four months, he spent more time waiting than trading. While others were constantly clicking on their screens and their capital was being eroded, he patiently held his coins and observed. When others impulsively held onto losing trades, he had already exited. When popular coins like $SOL showed signs of movement, he simply entered according to his plan, without changing his rhythm due to market anxiety.

Doubling your account never relies on aggressive tactics; it depends on how long you can stick to your principles. Follow the rules, and your capital will grow naturally. Break the rules, and no matter how big your account is, it’s all just a matter of time before it’s gone. Going from $1,500 to $40,000 isn’t hard; the real challenge is surviving with $40,000. The only dividing line is whether you can resist those seemingly "stupid" but truly effective operational principles.

Basically, it just means not taking action. I have repeatedly verified this over the past few months.

Hmm... I've heard this line too many times. Every time, it's the "stay steady" folks who end up bottom-fishing right at the middle [laughing and crying]

That's right, the key is to hold back from operating, which is the hardest part. The main thing is to stick to discipline; most people can't do it. Staying steady is more important than anything else. It sounds simple, but actually doing it is really difficult. It sounds like a story of compound interest, but the key is not to lose money. This logic is correct, but it requires a lot of self-control... many people can't persist. Spreading out your investments is truly a secret weapon. Seeing your account turn from red to green, yet still holding back... who can do that? To put it simply, it's about waiting; waiting makes more money than operating. Having a small principal actually makes it easier to do well, with less psychological pressure. The real issue is that those who can follow this approach wouldn't be short on money anyway. Stopping operations is actually a hundred times harder than frequent trading, do you believe it?

That's right, you just have to hold back. Most failures come from impulsive actions. It may sound cliché, but in reality, this is the strategy used by the longest-living traders. If you don't believe it, look at those accounts around you that have exploded—they all failed on the "one more trade" mentality. I've learned my lesson myself; during the 2021 wave, I lost quite a bit by averaging down. Now, it's actually better to stay put and earn more—it's hilarious. The stop-loss threshold really can trap 99% of people.

Basically, it's just idling around, so don't mess around unnecessarily.

Basically, it's an account that's idle and unused.
