Going from 5,000 USDT to 100,000 USDT may not sound like much, but those who have actually done it know that it is not just a matter of 'guessing the direction' during a single market wave. Instead, it requires extreme strategy control, position rhythm, and the accumulation of patience. Today, I will break down how I walked through this journey step by step, providing some insights for friends still on the way.
One, starting phase: Laying the foundation vs. betting on luck.
When I only had 5,000 USDT in my account, I clearly understood that this money was not for me to 'gamble on the future', but rather to train myself to build a mature trading system.
During this phase, I did three things:
Stable trend trading, targeting small profits within 10%.
Each order strictly controls risk within 3%, only doing small intra-day swings. For example, seeing a certain currency begin a bullish trend, enter lightly and capture an intra-day structural rebound.
Avoid high leverage, do not make predictions, only follow confirmed signals.
My trading creed is simple: I do not bet on 'possible increases', I only trade coins that are 'currently rising'.
Record the logic and review of each trade.
Constantly reviewing whether my win rate and profit-loss ratio are balanced. If I experience consecutive losses, I immediately stop and recheck the trading system.
From 5,000 USDT to 10,000 USDT, it took me 43 days. During this time, I had no single account blow-ups, nor did I make huge profits in one go, but averaged a net growth of 6% to 8% each week.
Two, amplification phase: Rhythm + position + hot rotation
When the principal reaches 10,000 USDT, the way of playing begins to change. My focus shifts from 'only taking confirmed opportunities' to 'how to accelerate capital growth.'
During this phase, I mainly used the following three strategies:
1. Sector rotation strategy
Every day I review the strength relationship of mainstream projects, capturing one or two rotation hotspots and focusing on three types of currencies:
High volatility, high heat projects
Strong coins that are currently in a plateau period and about to explode.
Follow the main line to catch the second wave of recovery targets.
For example, when a certain AI sector started, I preemptively positioned at a weak recovery level and captured a main upward wave from 0.12 to 0.34.
2. Gradual position increase + partial profit-taking
After doing the right thing, don’t rush to make a big profit, but instead break through and increase positions. Each trade sets a stop-loss and take-profit separately, forming a 'spiral upward' model.
3. Profit reinvestment mindset
Only use the profit portion to seek the next wave of returns, always ensuring the safety of the base asset. If consecutive stop losses occur, immediately reduce positions to prevent profit loss.
In less than 2 months, I went from 10,000 USDT to 35,000 USDT.
Three, breakthrough phase: Stability + offense + position control
During this phase, I completely modularized trading. The only goal was to achieve the maximum possible return with the minimum risk. It’s not about making quick money, but executing trades that are logical and have a probabilistic advantage.
1. Large positions only follow mid-trend breakout orders, not aggressively opening positions before clarity of direction. I prefer to eat less at the top but eat safely.
2. Use a structured position system to control risk. The principal is conservatively managed, while profit positions are aggressively accelerated.
3. Combining long and short positions, doing short-term trading on potential assets when the market is flat, capturing repeated opportunities. Once a sector shows a main upward signal, heavily invest to seek a doubling trend. For example, I heavily invested in a certain innovative protocol coin, going from 0.86 to 2.9; position size and patience are key.
Ultimately, from 35,000 USDT to 100,000 USDT, it only took 26 days.
Four, in conclusion: As the account grows, don’t let your mindset change.
Doubling the account is just a surface phenomenon; the real growth is — I am no longer that person who goes with the flow and places orders based on feelings. I have my own strategy, complete logic, rhythm, stop-losses, and patience.
To grow from 5,000 USDT to 100,000 USDT, talent is not needed, but three things are required:
① A stable trading system
② The ability to manage emotions
③ The decisiveness to accelerate at critical points
If you are still trying to double your money with a single all-in bet, it is better to first find a way to steadily grow your account by 10%. Start with small victories, then continuous wins, and finally achieve high win rates + favorable profit-loss ratios, which is the compounding curve of wealth growth.
Wishing you, who are reading this, to achieve your doubling journey as soon as possible.
