In the crypto world, many people trade with a life-or-death mentality, eager to get rich overnight, but often end up losing everything.
Today, I want to share how I rolled my 5,000 U into 10,000 U, to point the way for those still struggling in the mire.
First, establish rules.
Treat this 5,000 U as your last bullet; you must cherish it immensely.
First, 'write yourself a will': if a single trade loses 5%, immediately pull the plug and stop trading; if the account drawdown reaches 15% on the same day, shut down and sleep, never linger in battle.
You must know that in the crypto world, surviving is the only qualification to discuss compound interest and the only opportunity to achieve wealth growth.
Day 1–7 Laying the Foundation
Opening a position is like voting; it is a choice based on analysis, not a life-or-death gamble. Only place the first order at key support or resistance levels, and cap the first order amount at 300 U. If the judgment is wrong, decisively cut losses and exit.
As soon as the profit reaches 2R, withdraw the principal immediately, and use half of the remaining profit to 'float'.
Every day before the market closes, move the stop-loss to the opening price, allowing the market to work for you. Even if the market reverses, your existing profits won't go to waste.
Day 8–14 Adding Gears
When the account first breaks through 10,000 U, withdraw 1,000 U to enjoy a hot pot — allowing the profit to truly be secured while resetting your mindset, not letting temporary profits cloud your judgment.
Then, increase the amount of each trade to 800 U, but reduce the risk control to 3%.
When the position is large, the courage should be smaller; this is what I call 'counter-intuitive risk control.' It seems counter to common sense but can effectively control risk while expanding operations.
Day 15–21 Leverage Thinking, Non-Leverage Position
Once the trend is confirmed, pull the profit-loss ratio to 3:1, upgrade the holding time from hourly to daily, and grasp the profits brought by the trend more comfortably.
Always remember: you can only add positions during a pullback; never chase highs. Each time you add a position, withdraw 20% of the profit to keep the account on a safe high ground, so that regardless of market fluctuations, you can remain steady.
Day 22–30 Locking Period
When aiming to go from 50,000 U to 100,000 U, do not increase the risk of a single trade, but instead use the 'profit cushion' method.
For every 10,000 U you earn, withdraw 3,000 U to store in a cold wallet, and continue operating with the remaining 7,000 U. The account curve is only allowed to go up or sideways; if there is a 10% drawdown, automatically reduce leverage and adjust back to the previous stage.
Post these three notes next to your screen.
If you don't understand the market, it is like someone else's money. No matter how tempting, do not reach out; what doesn't belong to you ultimately cannot be held.
The speed of cutting losses must always be faster than you can imagine by a second. Hesitating for a second could lead to an abyss.
Compound interest is not an unattainable miracle; it is simply the interest the market gives after strictly following discipline.
After 30 days, if your account curve remains good, you will essentially have a 'money printing machine.'
If the curve disappears, it means the market has given you an early lesson, saving you from paying more tuition.
In the crypto world, rhythm and discipline are the keys to profitability. Stop trading with a life-or-death mindset. When the ship starts sinking, jump out immediately instead of waiting until it has sunk halfway and regretting why you didn't leave earlier, while still feeling unwilling.
