Small capital turning around in the crypto world sounds like a dream, but it's not impossible. A friend of mine used $1,200 as an example—three-month contract rollover, growing the account to $50,000, all without liquidation. It’s not luck, but using the right method.



**Dividing the account is the first step**

Split $1,200 into three parts, each $400. What are they for? The first part is for short-term trades, at most two trades per day, quickly capturing opportunities and then exiting. The second part is idle, waiting for a major trend to emerge before acting—no rush, as rushing often leads to missing out. The third part must never be touched; it’s the safety fund for when things go wrong.

**Choose the right timing for action**

Market volatility is a trap; eight or nine out of ten trades lose money. Instead of following the crowd, wait until the trend is clearly established before making a move. If you can’t catch it, that’s okay—no big deal. When profits exceed 30% of the principal, withdraw half to secure gains. This step sounds simple, but it can save your life.

**Execute mechanically, don’t let emotions mess things up**

Set a stop-loss at 3%; if it hits, cut immediately—no negotiations. When profits reach 10%, set a take-profit point to lock in gains. It may sound crude, but this method can prevent major losses.

Now, this friend’s account holds $50,000, and he doesn’t need to watch the screen all day—just monitor signals, set the right prices, and relax the rest of the time.

To turn around in the crypto world, first learn not to die. Dividing the account, catching the right points, controlling the rhythm—these details are key to minimizing losses.

It sounds quite straightforward, but essentially it's the classic risk management approach—diversified allocation, fixed-point execution, and emotional restraint. In a sense, this is similar to how Renaissance bankers managed capital flows; the logic is the same. The key remains: only those who don't die can win.

To be honest, I've tried the 3% stop-loss method, and it can indeed help you survive longer. But the key is discipline; most people can't do it.

Oh no, it's that kind of "friend" story again... 1200U for 50,000, sounds great to hear but can anyone really stick with it?

To be honest, this set of logic sounds flawless, but the key is still execution... Most people simply can't resist greed.

Sounds good, but I still think the execution difficulty is underestimated; most people can't pull off the mechanical stop-loss approach.

Laughing to death, from 1,200 to 50,000, why didn't this old guy go tell cross-talk? His storytelling skills are pretty good. Stop-loss for position splitting sounds reasonable, but the problem is how many people can resist adding leverage when executing. I bet fifty cents he still went all-in in the end. Wait, no liquidation for three months and then a fortyfold increase? The probability is lower than me being selected to perform cross-talk on CCTV. Wake up, everyone. Honestly, the hardest part isn't splitting positions, but having the psychological strength to withdraw everything after earning 30%. That mental preparation must be strong. In the crypto world, one day is like a year in the human world. Turning around in three months from a leek to a sickle. I believe you all are chosen ones.

To be honest, the concept of position splitting sounds easy, but in execution, it still relies on self-discipline. Most people fail because of their emotions.
