📈 Step-by-Step Guide: $100 → $100,000 in Crypto Trading
Step 1: Master the Basics (Capital Protection First)
Learn trading fundamentals: spot, futures, leverage, and risk management.
Never risk more than 2–3% of your account per trade.
Focus on survival — blowing up early means game over.
Step 2: Small Daily Growth Targets
Aim for 1–3% account growth daily, not 100% overnight.
Consistency beats gambling. Even small profits compound fast.
Step 3: Start with Spot + Scalping
Trade liquid coins (BTC, ETH, SOL, LINK) with clear patterns.
Use RSI, support/resistance, and volume to scalp small moves.
Avoid memecoins in the beginning — too volatile.
Step 4: Use Leverage Carefully
Once consistent in spot, move to low leverage (2x–5x) futures.
Only risk $2–$3 per trade on a $100 account.
Focus on setups with minimum 1:2 risk/reward ratio.
Step 5: Compound Profits Aggressively
Don’t withdraw profits early.
Grow $100 → $500 → $1,000 → $5,000 → $10,000 step by step.
Each stage requires the same discipline, just bigger position sizes.
Step 6: Scale with Volatility Trades
Trade big news events (Fed announcements, ETF approvals, CPI, halving).
Enter breakouts on high-volume days where moves are strong.
Catching a few “big waves” accelerates growth massively.
Step 7: Diversify Once You Hit $10K+
Split capital between short-term trading, mid-term swings, and safe holds.
Example: 50% trading, 30% swing trading altcoins, 20% stablecoins.
Step 8: Psychological Discipline
Don’t revenge trade after losses.
Stick to your trading journal & strategy.
Remember: capital protection > fast profits.
👉 Realistically, it may take 1–3 years of consistent trading (not days) to grow $100 into $100K. Many traders fail because they rush.
