In 2015, I entered the cryptocurrency world with 5,000 yuan. After experiencing two liquidations, I developed the 'Profit-Driven Positioning Method'—letting profits bear risks while keeping the principal as solid as a rock. The core of this strategy is to use the profits gifted by the market to gamble, with the principal always being the strongest 'safety net' that helped me climb from the abyss of liquidation to a million account.
1. Maintain three bottom lines, you can survive with 5,000 yuan
(1) Leverage red line: 3 times is the line between life and death
Newbies often blindly believe that 'high leverage = quick wealth,' not realizing that leverage is a 'time bomb.' 1x leverage can withstand a 30% fluctuation, while 3x can only handle 10%, and 10x leverage can't even withstand normal oscillations. In 2023, some followers used 20x leverage, and after recklessly turning 5,000 into 20,000, BTC crashed to zero within 10 minutes. Over three years, I persisted with 1-2x leverage, which seemed 'slow' but allowed my account to steadily survive the volatility, becoming the foundation for compounding.
(2) The iron law of increasing positions: only use floating profits, do not touch the principal
The essence of rolling positions is 'making money with the market's money.' With a principal of 5,000 yuan, earning 1,000 yuan means using that 1,000 yuan to increase the position while keeping the principal 'lying flat.' This is like 'using the fish you caught as bait'—if you lose, the loss is only the profit given by the market, without hurting the principal foundation. In 2023, while trading ETH, I increased my positions 5 times with floating profits and had 3 stop-losses, yet my principal still rose against the trend by 20%, relying on 'the principal remains steady as a mountain.'
(3) Hard stop-loss indicator: cut off at a 2% loss per trade
Strictly limit single trade losses to 2% of total capital: 5,000 yuan can lose a maximum of 100 yuan, and 100,000 yuan can lose a maximum of 2,000 yuan. Last year, when SOL plummeted, I took three stop-losses totaling 5,000 yuan. It seemed 'painful,' but in the end, I seized the trend to earn 30,000 yuan, causing total capital to rise by 80%. Those who wait to 'cut losses after a rebound' often drag their losses from 5% to 50%, and their accounts get directly consumed by volatility.
2. The 'staircase' path from 5,000 to a million
(1) 5,000 → 50,000: Practicing in a bear market, refining the rhythm
In the bear market, position BTC/ETH at the lows, take profits at a 10%-20% rebound, and roll three times to 20,000. At this point, add 1x leverage; when profiting 10%, use 10% of the floating profit to increase positions, keeping the position no more than 10% of the principal—focusing on 'stop-loss + position increase' muscle memory. During this phase, don’t be greedy for big trends; first master the 'small, guaranteed profits' model.
(2) 50,000 → 300,000: Seize the trend, amplify profits
Wait for the daily line to stabilize above the 30-day line and the trading volume to double. For every 15% profit, use 30% of the floating profit to increase positions, keeping the position control within 20%. After the BTC ETF approval in 2024, I used this strategy to grow 50,000 to 280,000, withdrawing 100,000 to hold in stablecoins—ensuring safety while allowing the account to 'go into battle lightly' and continue compounding.
(3) 300,000 → million: Betting on bull and bear, controlling positions and netting profits
Wait for BTC to rise from 15,000 to 60,000, a significant opportunity during the bull-bear transition. Start with a position of 20%, increase to 40% in the middle stage, and reduce back to 10% in the later stage. When the account reaches 800,000, 'hit the brakes,' securing 500,000, leaving the remaining 300,000 as 'playable and bearable.' This step tests the 'wisdom of taking profits'—understanding when to net profits during the bull market frenzy is the mark of a true winner.
3. The 'Compound Interest Code' of this system
Many people fall into despair not because their skills are lacking, but because they haven't established a closed loop of 'principal safety → floating profit gamble → trend compounding.' The core starting with 5,000 yuan is to guard the principal with three bottom lines, use floating profits as 'bullets' to fight for profits, and then leverage the bull-bear macro trends to amplify returns.
The cryptocurrency world is never short of opportunities, but 90% of people fall on the path of 'losing all their principal.' This 'Profit-Driven Positioning Method' essentially lets the market's money take the risks, while the principal is always the 'ballast.' Remember: if you survive three liquidations, you have surpassed 80% of traders; sustaining compounding profits means a million account is just a matter of time.
Now looking back at the curve of my account rising from 5,000 to 1,030,000, every step is in sync with the rhythm of 'maintaining the bottom line, using floating profits, and leveraging trends.' The logic of making money in the cryptocurrency world has never been about 'placing a big bet,' but rather like rolling a snowball—first ensuring the snowball (the principal) doesn't melt, then finding a long slope (trend) and thick snow (floating profits), naturally growing larger.
