Are you a newcomer in the crypto world looking to turn small funds into big results? The key isn’t luck, but whether you truly understand the underlying logic of fund management. I’ve seen too many people blow up due to greed, and also seen cases of steady growth through disciplined operation. Today, I want to share a proven three-stage methodology.
**Stage One: 3000U Start-up "Trial and Error Training Period"**
The primary task in the early stage isn’t to make huge profits, but to establish trading discipline. First, split the 3000U into two parts, with 1500U used to familiarize yourself with the market.
The selection principle for coins is simple—only focus on mainstream coins like BTC and ETH. Altcoins are too volatile, and beginners haven’t developed the reflexes yet, so they get cut early. Light leverage (1-3x) isn’t for huge profits, but to hone position control and stop-loss execution at minimal cost.
In this stage, remember these two ironclad rules:
- Stop loss immediately when losses reach 20% (account drops to 1200U), with no excuses or rebound hopes
- When profits double (return to 3000U), close the position decisively—don’t greed over the last little gain
Many people get trapped here, because after their first profit, they start fantasizing, and a few pullbacks wipe everything out. The first stage is about training your psychological resilience.
**Stage Two: Three Winning Cycles of Compound Growth to 24,000U**
Assuming you pass the first stage smoothly and your account returns to 3000U, it’s time for compound growth—this is the critical rhythm.
The path looks like this:
- 3000U → 6000U: Use half of the account to open positions
- 6000U → 12000U: Continue using half of the funds for scaling in
- 12000U → 24000U: Maintain the rhythm, avoid all-in bets in scaling
The core logic is simple—always only use half of the current principal for each entry. This approach leaves room for each trade, and the power of compounding will naturally manifest. Many people get impatient here, wanting to speed up, but that often destroys the rhythm.
**Stage Three: Breaking Through 24,000U with an "Independent Risk Control Mode"**
As funds grow, risk management must upgrade. In this stage, open each position with a fixed 3000U, with the remaining funds as a safety buffer. The advantage of this design is— even if you make 7 consecutive wrong trades, your principal remains intact, and the chance to turn things around is still there.
All operations must be done in an isolated margin mode. If one position blows up, the loss is limited to that 3000U, without affecting the overall account. This is a mandatory lesson for large funds.
No matter how long you do this, these four rules must be ingrained in your mind:
1. Execute immediately when a stop-loss signal appears—never gamble on rebounds—markets have no mercy
2. Even if the signal seems 100% reliable, only invest half of your funds—greed destroys more than you think
3. Close positions when doubled—"a little more" will ruin most beginners
4. Stick to isolated margin, no cross-margin, no dragging orders—each trade must have independent risk control
**Final Words**
The essence of this framework boils down to four words: restraint and discipline. Learn to stop-loss with minimal cost, build muscle memory through position scaling, and use stability to compound rather than doubling bets. If you don’t practice now, later you’ll spend tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands on tuition fees, and still not master these fundamentals. Living longer in the crypto space is more valuable than rushing to make quick gains.
