Having stayed in the crypto space for twelve years, I have seen too many myths of overnight wealth and witnessed more tragedies of instant bankruptcies. I discovered a painful truth: those who can turn 100,000 into 10 million do not rely on 'magical predictions' or 'high leverage', but rather repeat simple actions – diversification, leverage control, and not going against the trend. The winning rate of these three actions can actually reach 98%.
One, diversification: it’s not a technique, it’s the lifeline of trading.
Many people think diversification is 'mystical', but they simply haven't suffered losses. With a capital of 30,000 U, how can you divide it to ensure safety while seizing opportunities? My answer is always 'cut into three pieces, lock two pieces.'
Divide 30,000 U into 3 parts, each part being 10,000 U. Each time you open a position, only use 1 part, locking the remaining 2 parts in your wallet, telling yourself 'this money doesn't exist.' This trick is especially effective against 'getting too excited' – even if one day you impulsively use 1 part, the remaining 2 can help you calmly review instead of watching your capital disappear.
Leverage must be strictly controlled: Bitcoin max 10x, altcoins absolutely no more than 5x. Don’t be skeptical, opening 10x on Bitcoin with 10,000 U will lead to liquidation with a 10% drop; opening with 5x will only lead to liquidation with a 20% drop, effectively doubling your margin for error.
Last year, a fan didn't listen to advice, opened 50x leverage on altcoins, and one night a spike left only 0.3U in the account by morning; such lessons are too common.
The ultimate significance of diversification is to provide psychological insurance. Losing 10,000 and losing 30,000 have vastly different impacts on your operations – the former allows you to rationally cut losses, while the latter only forces you to increase your bet like a gambler.
Two, high leverage: it looks like a shortcut, but it’s actually a dead end.
Some people always ask: 'There are so many people making money with 100x leverage to buy a BMW, why can't I try?' But these people won’t tell you that they have been liquidated ten times more than they have profited, nor will they say that BMW might have been bought with a mortgage.
The two major pitfalls of high leverage that beginners must engrave in their minds:
Market spikes are common: exchanges understand retail investors' psychology the best; the stop loss points for high leverage contracts often concentrate at key levels, and a single spike can wipe out all positions. You might think it's bad luck, but it's actually their 'routine operation.'
The mindset will completely collapse: using 100x leverage, a 1% price fluctuation equals a 10% fluctuation in capital, and your heart can jump to your throat while watching the market. In this state, it is impossible to rationally take profits or cut losses; you either take a bit of profit and run or stubbornly hold on to losses.
Remember my iron rule: the lower the leverage, the more stable the position, and the better you can capture the trend. Bitcoin at 5x, altcoins at 3x, seems to earn slowly but allows you to survive round after round of market cycles – being alive gives you the chance to wait for big opportunities.
Three, the core of short-term trading: better to miss out than to take counter-trend positions.
The secret to making money in the short term is not how many limit ups you catch, but how few times you lose. A counter-trend position is the biggest pitfall, with three common ways to die:
Stubborn holding type: 'It has fallen so much, it must rebound,' resulting in a loss from 10% to 50%, directly halving the capital.
Averaging down type: 'Add more to lower the average price,' the more you add, the more trapped you become, eventually running out of resources and watching your account get liquidated.
Mystical type: 'The K-line has crossed upward, a reversal signal!' As a result, the market operator counteracts with a big bearish candle, teaching you what it means to 'trade stocks by chart and die quickly.'
There is only one correct approach: when the trend is unclear, let your hands move faster than your brain – do not engage. Is the market going crazy? Just watch; missing out doesn’t mean losing money; is it bottomed out? Don’t rush to catch the bottom, wait for clear reversal signals. In short-term trading, 80% of profits come from 20% of clear market conditions; the rest of the time, doing nothing is winning.
Four, small capital snowballing: step by step from 300U to 10 million.
Turning 100,000 into 10 million is not a leap, but rather turning 300U into 1100U, then turning 1100U into 5000U, rolled out step by step.
Phase One: From 300U to 1100U (practice period).
Each time take 100U for trial trades, only focus on recently popular cryptocurrencies. Two iron rules:
Take profits when it doubles: 100U turns into 200U, immediately cash out, don’t be greedy for 'a little more'.
Cut losses at 50U: no matter how reluctant you feel, first preserve half of your capital, saving it for the next battle.
Winning three times in a row can turn 300U into 1100U. During this phase, don’t pursue 'perfect operations', the focus is on training the 'muscle memory for taking profits and cutting losses' – if you can refrain from greed and stubborn holding, you've beaten 80% of retail investors.
Phase Two: Multi-strategy combination after 1100U
Once your capital reaches 1100U, split it into three parts to diversify your risk.
Quick in-and-out trades (300U): focus on the 15-minute chart, primarily Bitcoin and Ethereum, sell after a 3%-5% rise, just like running a stall, take small profits and leave, accumulating gradually.
Swing trades (500U): watch the 4-hour chart, enter when the Bollinger Bands narrow and break, set a stop loss at 1.5 times the bandwidth, and after making a profit, withdraw 20% to spot every week to reduce risk.
Trend trades (300U): wait for extreme signals on the weekly chart, such as RSI overbought or oversold, combined with a reversal K-line on the daily chart, try with 3x leverage and a light position, once profitable, use the 50-day moving average to set trailing stops to let profits run.
Five, the truth about trading: Loneliness is a required course, and you can only see rainbows if you are alive.
Many people only see the glamour of '100,000 to 10 million', but do not see the loneliness behind it. In my twelve years of full-time trading, I understand this feeling the most:
Family doesn't understand 'staring at the computer every day without going to work', friends think 'your money isn't earned legitimately', and even industry peers often communicate in a 'chicken talking to a duck' manner – a real trading system can only be honed through experiences of liquidation and profit.
During the lows, you may feel depressed, doubt yourself, and even consider giving up. But every 'point for improvement' in your review journal is a ladder out of the abyss.
A piece of advice for anyone wanting to make a living from trading: don’t let the market consume your connection with reality. Spend 1 hour a day with family, go running outdoors once a week; these 'human anchors' will pull you back when the market is driving you crazy.
In conclusion: repeating simple things is the greatest skill.
100,000 to 10 million has never relied on 'magical indicators' or 'insider information', but on diversification, leverage control, and not going against the trend – repeating and sticking to these three things.
Diversification allows you to have a chance when making mistakes, leverage control lets you stay calm while holding positions, and not going against the trend helps you avoid unnecessary detours. How simple are these three things? Simple enough that most people look down on them, yet difficult in the word 'repetition' – repeating until it forms a reflex, repeating until it is not disturbed by emotions.
If you find these principles useful, why not start trying from today: take 10,000 U and split it into 3 parts, only use 5x leverage, and resolutely stay out of counter-trend markets. Stick to it for a month, and you'll find that making profits isn’t that hard.#币安HODLer空投ERA #特朗普施压鲍威尔
