Not enough 2000 USDT to get rich overnight? Calm down first. Instead of dreaming about doubling your money, learn how to survive and get out of this market — that’s the real skill.



Here’s a real case: a trader started with 1500 USDT and, over four months, grew it to 32,000 USDT, all while avoiding liquidation and major drawdowns. This wasn’t luck; it was the result of following three simple but highly stable rules.

**Step 1: Funds must be split; full position = suicide**

Divide 1500 USDT into three parts, each 500 USDT:
- Day trading: at most one trade per day, suitable for volatile assets like $AR
- Swing trading: may stay inactive for ten days or half a month, waiting for a real trend
- Reserve funds: used as ammunition for recovery after losses

Remember, never go all-in at any time. This isn’t caution — it’s the prerequisite for survival.

**Step 2: Only trade clear market signals**

Sideways, stagnant markets are the best for harvesting profits. Most retail traders get wiped out by this kind of “boring” market. If the market isn’t clear? Stay in cash. Better to miss 100 small opportunities than to trade blindly — the market is there every day, but if your account blows up, it’s over. Swing opportunities in coins like $SD require patience; they don’t appear every day.

**Step 3: Embed the rules in your mind**

1. Stop-loss at 2% per trade is the bottom line, not an option
2. Take profit at 4% and immediately cut your position in half
3. When your account grows by more than 20%, withdraw 30% to lock in gains
4. Absolutely no adding to losing positions

This strategy isn’t fancy, but it can save you three years of detours. The secret to making money in crypto isn’t speed — it’s slowing down first. To go far, you must stand firm first.

That's right, full position is basically gambling with your life. I've done it before, and my account was wiped out. --- Talking about theory is easy, but actually executing it is hard. Most people simply can't stick with it. --- A 2% stop loss sounds easy, but can you really do it? I haven't managed to do it myself. --- Turning 20x profit in four months sounds amazing, but I haven't seen any screenshots, the information gap is too big. --- Being out of the market is the worst, but it's definitely better than a margin call. Learned this lesson the hard way. --- I just can't understand adding to a losing position. If I lost, why can't I try again? --- Range-bound trading is just wasting time and mood. Might as well just sleep. --- Memorizing rules by heart? I have a bad memory, I forget every time, and the result is losing money. --- Taking profit at 4% floating gain and reducing position? I always feel like I'm missing out on the next rally.

That's right, full positions are really asking for death. My friend was greedy before, and as a result, he lost everything in one market cycle. --- 1500x to 32000x? Sounds unbelievable, but the rules are indeed harsh. Just worried about being able to execute them. --- Consolidation is the most torturous. Watching the price go up and down without moving, hands start to itch, and in the end, you lose. --- The problem is that most people simply can't wait in cash, they can't stay idle. --- A 2% stop loss sounds simple, but when actually doing it, there are all kinds of reasons not to, and then it blows up. --- The key to this stuff is mindset. Having rules without the right mindset still makes you deserve to be cut. --- Taking out 30% to lock in profits is a must; otherwise, the gains will be given back. --- People who want to trade every day should reflect on themselves after reading this. --- Support, the crypto world is just grinding down retail investors' patience. Those who can persist will win.

That’s quite harsh, but it’s truly heartfelt. Remembering the phrase "Full position is asking for death." --- Another story of "steady profit," I've heard it so many times, but I feel like something's missing. --- Stop-loss at 2%, reduce position by 4%... sounds simple, but how many can really stick to the rules? I haven't managed to do it. --- Oh my, this is what I need, not some dream of multiples, just want to live well and make money. --- Go completely flat during sideways trading? A bit harsh, but it seems fine... --- Hmm, that last line "To run far, you must first stand firm," is pretty good. --- The case from 1500 to 32000 sounds amazing, but did I ever think about going all-in during the process? I don't believe it. --- The key is discipline, really. That’s what it all comes down to. --- Feels like I’m talking about my own failure and tears... That add-on position really hit home. --- When the account reaches 20%, transfer out 30% to lock in profits—can being this conservative really lead to big earnings?

Honestly, these rules sound more like saving lives than making money. The phrase "full position = suicide" should be etched in your mind. --- It's another argument about staying in cash and waiting for opportunities, but indeed, this way of living lasts the longest. --- Taking half off when floating profit reaches 4%? Sounds cowardly, but as long as the account is still there, you're a winner. --- It took only four months to go from 1500 to 32000; this isn't just luck, it's really about discipline. --- I agree with not adding to positions when losing; during losses, the hands tend to be very cheap, and adding can lead to a complete blow-up. --- Sideways trading is the most deadly, indeed. Most people get stuck in boring markets, risking bankruptcy from overtrading. --- Setting a 2% stop-loss as the bottom line? It doesn't save much money, but it prolongs survival, and that's the core.

Really, going all-in is just asking for death. I've seen too many liquidations. 20x in four months? This guy's mindset is really steady. Holding a cash position is also a form of trading. I've said this a hundred times, but no one believes it. A 2% stop-loss sounds simple, but executing it is even harder than climbing to the sky. Sideways trading tests people the most. I am part of the group that was wiped out by it.

That’s too extreme; going all-in is really asking for trouble. I’ve tried all these rules, and a 2% stop-loss is the hardest to endure. Wait, how do you implement the rule against adding to a position? Tell me. If you follow this pace, a 20x increase in four months sounds a bit unbelievable. But I agree with being completely out of the market; it’s much more comfortable than losing money. The biggest fear for small accounts is panic, and your case indeed gives some confidence. Simple rules are easier to stick to; flashy ones are often traps.

Really, full position is just asking to die. I've understood this long ago. Holding cash and waiting is much more comfortable than blindly buying and selling; anyway, opportunities are there every day. Going from 1500 to 32000 sounds exaggerated, but strict rules can indeed keep you alive. Take profit at 4% profit, it sounds conservative but actually helps you survive the longest. Another story telling us "slow is fast," but some people just have to go all-in. That's right, sideways trading can wear you out the most; I've been worn down myself. Stop loss at 2% and take the money off the table—easy to say, but it hurts to actually do. This set of rules has no flaws; it just tests human nature, and most people can't resist. Adding to the position? Ha, that's testing the edge of bankruptcy. Money that can't be recovered in a month, going all-in and risking it in one second—I've seen it all.
