Fans always ask, 'Bro, how exactly do you roll over the capital?' The core is just one sentence: To roll from 5000U to 100,000, it’s not about how bold you are, but about the sense of rhythm. These six phases must not be mistaken.
Phase One: First learn to 'travel light', as preserving capital is more important than making profits.
Last year, I had a brother who opened 20x leverage with 4000U directly in full position, and ended up with nothing in three days. Later, I set a strict rule for him: 5000U capital, the first trade can use at most 2000U, accept the loss if it’s gone, and never average down. At that time, he thought I was too conservative, but he ended the first week with a small loss of 500U, then caught three small waves in ETH for profits, pulling it back to 1200U. Remember, protect the capital first, then you can talk about making money.
Phase Two: Install 'brakes' on the account, and daily drawdown must not cross boundaries.
No matter how enticing the unrealized profits are, daily drawdown must not exceed 20%. Previously, a newcomer just hit 8000U, but due to greed in one trade, the drawdown skyrocketed to 25%, so tense that he couldn't even hold the mouse. I directly told him to shut down and review for three days, and when he returned, he used the '5% stop-loss rule': only lose 50U at most on 1000U and decisively cut the position. Don’t let the pain of cutting positions get to you; if you stick with it, the profit curve will gradually rise.
Phase Three: Only trade 'understandable markets', avoid chaotic charts.
Before the market opens, clearly outline the support and resistance levels. Only act when the lines are broken; otherwise, be a calm spectator. A student asked me at midnight if he could chase a certain coin. Upon looking at the chart filled with chaotic lines, I replied, 'If you dare to enter this trade, don’t call me Master tomorrow.' Later, that coin indeed plummeted, and he now treats this as trading ironclad law.
Phase Four: Split profit-taking into three parts, don’t let profits go on a roller coaster.
For short-term trades, take half the profits after gaining 30-50 points. For trend trades, take part of the profit after seeing 150 points, and leave a small portion for profits to 'run free'. Everyone is afraid of roller coasters, but no one will refuse the sense of security from 'locking in profits'. Taking profits in stages keeps the mind calm.
Phase Five: After doubling, 'withdraw the principal'; only what is locked in is real money.
Every time the account breaks through an integer level, profit taking must be enforced: Withdraw 500 for 6000U, 2000 for 10,000, and 5000 for 20,000. Last year, a brother rolled from 10,000 to 50,000 without taking a penny, and ended up back to square one overnight. Later he told me, 'Bro, I should have listened to you about locking in profits earlier.'
Phase Six: Be cautious when adding leverage; position size is fundamental.
After the account exceeds 8000U, the single position can be increased to 1000-1500U, but the stop-loss must be reduced to 3%-5%. Previously, a student was eager to open 10x leverage, so I directly changed his password for three days. Now he has stabilized profits at 20,000U, and every time we talk about it, he pats his chest and says, 'Thanks to Master for that ‘lock’!'
Repeat these six steps three times, and you'll find the account curve resembles climbing stairs: 5000→8000→12000→20000… In trading, slow is fast, and stability leads to wealth.
