Recently came across an interesting trading case that I want to share with everyone.



A novice approached me, honestly with only $1200 of capital to start. My initial reaction was actually to advise him not to enter the crypto space, as this capital couldn't really stir up any waves in the market. But his next words changed my mind—"I'm not here to gamble my life, I'm here to learn how to make steady profits." This attitude instantly convinced me.

I discussed a plan with two other traders for him: split the $1200 into 10 parts, and only risk $120 each time. The obvious benefit of this approach is that single-loss risks are strictly controlled. More importantly, it enforces discipline: stop immediately when wrong, avoid adding positions and holding through losses, and don't let emotions take over.

This guy's execution ability is indeed top-notch. After losing two trades in a row, he definitely had the urge to continue trading, but he held back. His daily profit target was 2%, and he would stop once he exceeded it. Once he made a 5% profit on a trade, he directly locked the extra profit into a cold wallet. In half a month, $1200 turned into $3600.

Even more impressive was his subsequent operation—using only profits to add positions, while the principal remained unchanged. Watching others go all-in and double their money, he would just casually chat in the group, with a very steady hand. Continuing at this pace, his account grew to $24,000 in a month, then in three weeks surged to $120,000, with detailed records of every trade.

The most impressive sentence was: "Look at the take-profit line before the direction." This way of thinking is no longer just for beginners. Adhering to risk management, disciplined execution, and stable compound growth—this is the real secret to surviving long enough in the crypto market.

Wow, this guy really held it together. I have to say, this is the correct way to approach it. Focusing on taking profits before looking at the direction—this is a phrase all gamblers should keep in mind.

This is the post I really want to see. Finally, someone explained it clearly. Focusing on the take-profit line before the direction—damn, I need to engrain this sentence in my mind.

This is the true way to survive, not the kind of dreaming to get rich overnight.

This guy really understood it. 1200U multiplied by 10 times, it's either luck or just holding down this one move. --- Honestly, compared to those who shout about hundredfold gains every day, this 2% daily target is actually more terrifying, because only then can you make it to the next bull market. --- Discipline in losing money > No discipline in making money, there's no doubt about that. --- That cold wallet move was brilliant; lock in your profits once you earn them. Many people die right there. --- Look at the take-profit line before the direction... I need to write it down, I feel like I've been doing the opposite all along. --- 1200 to 120,000 in just three months? No hype, no black, if this pace can really be replicated, there won't be any retail investors left in the crypto circle. --- The problem is most people start doubling down after losing two trades; this guy is really ruthless. --- Only add to positions with profits, keep the principal unchanged—that's what someone who lives long should look like. --- Brilliant, watching others go all-in and double up while quietly earning their own 2%, this mindset is cultivated.

Wow, this is the right way. Much more reliable than those who shout ten times every day.
