At three in the morning, Bitcoin crashed by 17%.
I watched my account balance go from 420,000 RMB to zero, my stomach churning.
The ashtray was filled with cigarette butts, and my fingers trembled slightly from over-refreshing the page.
At that moment, I truly understood what 'the pain of liquidation' meant.
But a real trader never lingers in despair for too long.
I transferred the remaining 3,000 USDT in my account.
This is not gambling, but a final redemption for myself.
I know three stories of people who turned a few thousand USDT into hundreds of thousands.
I have done it myself.
This is not a myth, but a set of cruel yet effective survival rules.
Phase One: Ambush 'Emotional Volatility'
When mainstream coins experience a daily fluctuation exceeding 12%, the market will inevitably overreact.
I placed a 3x leveraged order at the key support level, strictly controlling the stop loss within 3%, and exited immediately with a 5% profit.
I only trade once a day, never adding to my position.
3,000 USDT → 5,200 USDT.
Slow, but steady.
Phase Two: Capture 'Liquidity Traps'
Five minutes before a new coin goes live, the order book is as thin as a cicada's wing.
I choose new projects with actual products, placing a limit buy order 2.5% lower, and immediately placing a sell order 3.5% higher after the transaction.
Each trade does not exceed 15% of total funds, and a maximum of 3 trades per night.
5,200 USDT → 8,900 USDT.
This is dancing on the edge of a knife, but strict execution can yield profits.
The most crucial discipline: Fund Separation
When my account surpassed 15,000 USDT, I made a decision:
Immediately withdraw 40% to a cold wallet and stop all trading for the night.
Many people fall at this step, always thinking 'just one more profit', and end up returning everything to the market.
From then on, for every 5,000 USDT profit, I would withdraw 2,000 USDT.
The trading account always operated between 15,000 and 20,000 USDT.
Four months later, I accumulated 360,000 USDT in the cold wallet and maintained a trading account of 20,000 USDT.
I finally understood: the success of trading is not about how many opportunities you seize, but about how many temptations you refuse.
What truly turns your situation around is not technical analysis, but the discipline of fund management.
Now, when people ask me if that 420,000 tuition fee was worth it.
I say:
'Some lessons can only be learned with real money.'
I used to stumble around in the dark alone, but now the light is in my hands.
The light is always on, will you follow? @币来财MAX
