Many traders die on one issue: how to manage their positions.

A friend of mine was also like this before. His account blew up several times, leaving only $3,000, and his mindset was already collapsing. I designed a set of logic for him, and in less than two months, his account grew to $100,000, and he eventually withdrew everything.

The core idea is one word—control. Without controlling risk, no matter how much principal you have, it's just giving it away.

**How to allocate positions**

Divide your account funds into 5 parts, each $600, counting as one position. Always only take one position at a time, and keep at least 4 parts of bullets in your account. What's the benefit of doing this? You always have a chance to turn things around, and you won't lose your ability to fight back just because of one or two losses.

Many people go all-in in one shot, and when the market moves against them, they get wiped out. But if you diversify risk, even losses are controllable.

**Strict take-profit and stop-loss**

Set your stop-loss at 3%, with a maximum loss of $18 per trade. Set your take-profit target at 6%-10%, with a profit starting at $36 per trade. Sounds like not much profit? But if you keep doing it, the power of compound interest will show.

Here's a real example:
- About 70 trades in a month
- Success rate around 60%
- About 28 losing trades, each losing $18, totaling a monthly loss of $504
- About 42 winning trades, each gaining $50, totaling a monthly profit of $2,100
- Net profit of $1,596+; doubling your principal is really not difficult

What’s the key? Discipline.

**Three iron rules that must not be broken**

First, always set a stop-loss on every trade. If you lose, lose cleanly—don’t hold the position. Those who hold on tend to end up in a very bad situation.

Second, take profits and exit. Don’t be greedy; just follow the rhythm of harvesting. Many people make some profit and want more, but end up losing it all back and even losing more.

Third, don’t stare at the market. Don’t chase rises or sell at dips; only trade within familiar patterns. For example, I only trade breakouts of structures; I avoid other market modes.

**The same way to die in crypto**

A reckless all-in, blowing up your account is as easy as drinking water. Going against the trend and holding on until the end, losing all your principal. Not being able to hold onto good market signals. These are typical failure patterns.

Some people say they want to turn things around every day, but their actions are just sending money away. I never bet on market direction; I only bet on discipline and execution. Strong discipline can take $1,000 far; poor discipline can wipe out $10,000.

Starting with $3,000, in 35 days, I grew it to $100,000. It’s not luck; it’s because I stuck firmly to this logic.

If you now only have a few thousand dollars left and want to turn things around, stop trading based on feelings. Many followers I’ve mentored have grown from a few hundred dollars to earning over ten thousand a month. The key is whether you have the patience to execute this strategy.
