A post-90s trader resigned and became a full-time cryptocurrency trader. This is my 6th year as a professional cryptocurrency trader. If you truly want to become a professional cryptocurrency trader and don’t want to work, take a few minutes and carefully read this article!

5000 USD to earn 100,000 USD: A guide to violently flipping funds in the cryptocurrency world.

Purely useful information.

"In 3 months, 5000 USD turns into 120,000 USD"

The secret to flipping small funds is only two: focus + compound interest +.

1. Military rules that must be followed (life and death line).

1. Never go all-in on a single trade (each time ≤ 20%).

2. Only trade coins with daily trading volume > 100 million USD (to prevent going to zero).

3. Mandatory liquidation at 10 PM daily (to avoid liquidation during the early morning hours).

2. The best opportunity pool for 2025.

New coin listing strategy

Only select top 3 projects launched on Binance/OKX.

Intervene when the turnover rate on the first day of listing > 200%.

Never average down on a broken coin (case: NOT increased 5 times on the first day in June).

Sniping leading coins during retracements.

- Build positions in batches when BTC/ETH retraces 15%.

- Use 2x leverage + (up to 3x).

- Immediately stop loss if it falls below the previous low.

3. The three-stage operation method for huge profits.

Phase 1 (5000→15,000 USD)

Focus on one coin and aim for 3% swings daily.

- Trade a maximum of 3 times per week

Phase 2 (15,000 → 50,000 USD)

- Capture coins that break through the monthly line (such as PEOPLE in May).

- Withdraw 50% of the profit to recover the principal.

Phase 3 (50,000 → 100,000+ USD)

March: 5000 USD → 8000 USD (long ETH)

April: 8000 USD → 21,000 USD (sniping WIF).

May: 21,000 USD → 120,000 USD (fully participating in NOT market).

Remember:

1. Only practice one strategy for the first 3 months.

2. Profits exceeding 50,000 USD must be withdrawn.

Yesterday, I had tea and chatted with a trading expert. He said he entered the market with 300,000 USD, lost down to only 70,000 USD, and now has assets worth over 10 million.

Destiny lies in persistence in learning and improving understanding. I have summarized 6 key insights that are very valuable, hoping that friends who come across this can find inspiration.

1. Do not rush to stop loss during a large drop in the early session; usually, it is an overreaction to negative news from the previous night, and one can wait for market repair and reversal. A large rise at the end of the session should not be blindly chased; some main forces like to test the market and lure buying, which may lead to a low opening the next day to suppress accumulation.

2. Use volume as a practical technical tool; volume can indicate the direction of future trends. Continuous price increases on low volume indicate strong control by the main force, while price declines on low volume suggest that panic selling hasn’t occurred yet, so it will continue to drop.

3. Learn to observe the top structure of sectors. Typically, sector trends are formed by five waves: the first wave attracts follow-up participants, the second wave is a washout adjustment, the third wave is the main upward wave, the fourth wave is a complex divergence, and the fifth wave is for unloading. During this process, the third wave has the largest increase, followed by the first wave, and the fifth wave has the least. However, market conditions are ever-changing, and it is not uncommon for there to be fewer than five waves, so one cannot memorize it blindly. After discovering that the leading stocks in the sector are lagging, if the supplementary rising market does not continue its previous strength, it is highly likely that it has peaked.

4. Every time there’s an acceleration at the top of Bitcoin, a certain sector's altcoins will rise significantly, triggering a reversal in Bitcoin. Just check whether the performances of various leaders have stopped declining and are rising again, and the index will likely follow suit.

5. Specialization and focus are important for beginners, especially for new traders entering the market. Research one approach and master its techniques; this will yield more than trying to learn multiple skills at once. Being greedy often leads to loss, and not mastering skills can easily lead to being taught a lesson by the market. Do not switch modes casually; focus on learning, and gradually you will find your way to stable profits. Once you achieve stability, you can learn more skills to integrate them.

6. Price trends can be divided into three structures: up, down, and sideways. In the upward phase, all technical indicators have a higher win rate, while in the consolidation phase, utilizing support and resistance for high selling and low buying is more effective. In a downtrend, most indicators become ineffective. Different phases require different tools to be well-prepared.

A method I personally tested: starting with 100,000 USD, within a year, I achieved over 10 million using this short-term trading method (an analysis of the money-making logic of day trading!).

Whether trading stocks or cryptocurrencies, the key to earning significant profits in day trading is the same. The key is how we adjust our position based on the risk and return we want to take. In this article, we will explore together how to increase your account by 2%-4% in just a few minutes in a single trade.

If we can earn 2%-4% (or more) in 40% of our trades while only losing 1% in other trades, we can.

Make a lot of money. It is even better if we can win 50% or more of our trades.

This sounds simple. However, most people completely misunderstand the concept of achieving large returns from day trading.

Most people think using large stop losses (so they won't be triggered) and large profit target points is the way to make money. But in reality, to earn significant day trading profits, we need to wait for small stop loss opportunities and then set target points within the typical fluctuation range to achieve a good risk-reward ratio.

Of course, there are many ways to trade. Different styles suit different personalities. This is one approach, and if it suits you, it will be a great choice.

Here are four steps to achieve significant profits in day trading:

1. Control the risk of each trade to 1% of the account (can be less at the beginning).

2. Use the minimum stop loss allowed by price fluctuations. This may sound counterintuitive, but there is no reason to continue holding a poorly performing trade.

Even with a small stop loss, I often exit before the stop loss is triggered.

3. Take profit at 2 to 3 times the size of the stop loss. This ensures that profits exceed losses. In some cases, slightly smaller targets (1.5 times) may also be acceptable, and larger targets (4 times or more) may also apply.

4. Only trade when the target points are achievable based on typical fluctuations.

Here’s how these steps work together to find high return/risk trades based on typical price fluctuations (not luck, and no need for huge fluctuations).

You may also notice that achieving good day trading profits does not require a lot of screen time or learning many strategies. Just spend 30 minutes to a few hours each day, find good risk-reward opportunities, and use one or two strategies you are truly good at to achieve substantial profits.

1. 1% risk rule.

Before making big money, we need to control risks. If we lose all our principal, we won’t earn anything.

Adopt the 1% risk rule. This means we can only lose a maximum of 1% of our principal in each trade. We can use any proportion of principal in each trade, but the loss of a single trade cannot exceed 1% of the principal.

For example, if we have a day trading account of $45,000, we can use all the funds (even leverage more funds) to build a position, but the loss in a single trade cannot exceed $450. This concept applies regardless of account size.

At the beginning, the risk of each trade can be controlled at 0.1%. If you profit for several weeks at a certain risk level, you can increase the position.

Gradually increase to 0.2%, 0.3%, and so on.

It should be noted that as the account size increases, the 1% risk may become difficult because the position sizes will become very large. But by then, you have already made a significant profit, so this is no longer a problem.

2. The minimum stop loss allowed by the market.

We now know how much we can lose in each trade, which is 1% of the account.

Next, we need to wait for trading trigger points that can provide small stop loss opportunities.

A stop loss is an order that automatically closes a position when the price reaches a specified threshold. It is one of the simplest methods to control the risk of each trade.

This is also where many people make mistakes.

Let’s look at two traders: one is a professional day trader, and the other is a novice.

The following figure (1-minute chart) shows a possible trading opportunity. The entry point is excellent. Price shows an upward trend shortly after opening, then retraces, and traders enter when the price starts to rise again. This is one of my favorite trend trading strategies.

Novice traders choose to use larger stop losses because they do not want to lose. They set the stop loss below the day's opening price or the day's low. In this case, their stop loss is 5.46% away from the entry point, which is $0.78.

Professional traders are not as worried about losses. They know that no matter where they set the stop loss, losing trades will happen, so they tend to use smaller stop losses, which means larger position sizes. If they judge incorrectly, they quickly exit and do not waste time on a trade that has no potential.

Professional traders enter the market because prices are rising, so they choose to set their stop losses just below the recently formed swing low. The stop loss is only 1.75% away from the entry point, which is $0.25. This is 1/3 smaller than a novice's stop loss.

The size of the stop loss will vary depending on the trade and asset, so specific numbers are not important. What matters is the comparison of stop loss sizes between novices and professional traders.

The maximum loss amount is $450, but professional traders' stop loss is only $0.25, so they can buy 1800 shares.

Without understanding other information, if prices rise, who will make more money?

Of course, it’s the professional traders, as they hold 1800 shares, while novices only hold 576 shares, even though they are both risking $450!

3. Set goals in multiples of stop loss or risk.

For novices, the situation gets worse. They not only take on the same risks as professional traders but also hold fewer coins and are less likely to achieve the returns of professional traders.

Ideally, we want to earn 2, 3, 4, or 5 times the size of the stop loss on a profitable trade. Since our stop loss represents 1% of the account, if we can earn 2 or 3 times, we can bring a 2% or 3% return to the account. However, the larger the stop loss, the harder it is to achieve this goal!

When trading cryptocurrencies, I like to set the profit target at 2.5 times the stop loss (1.5 to 3 times). For cryptocurrency trading, I set the profit target at 2 to 3 times the stop loss. Let’s see how this works for professional traders.

The effect is very good. Compared to the day’s fluctuations, a stop loss of $0.25 is relatively small, so a price increase of $0.62 to $0.63 (4.37%) to reach the target (2.5x0.25) is not too difficult. We will discuss in more detail the profit targets we can reasonably expect in the next step. But for now, our professional traders made 2.5% for the account in just 14 minutes. They could even earn 2% in 5 minutes.

But for novices... the situation is not ideal. In fact, even though the coins have risen and they theoretically judged the direction correctly, their accounts never showed more than 1% profit, and even small profits later disappeared.

Novices ultimately exit with losses or minimal profits, which is only a small part of the risk they took. If they can exit before prices hit their stop losses, they might earn $100 to $300 (even though they risked $450).

In contrast, professional traders easily earned $1125 and exited early before prices fell again.

Novices attempt to "not lose" and use larger stop losses, making it nearly impossible for them to achieve significant profits in their accounts.

Professional traders use smaller stop losses, making it easier for prices to reach the multiple of the stop loss, thus earning 2.5% for the account in just a few minutes (this trade only used a little more than half of their funds... the remaining funds can be used for trading another currency).

4. Only trade when the target/multiples are achievable.

How do we know what a reasonable target is?

Novices have stop losses greater than 5%, which means prices need to rise by 10% to achieve a 2:1 target. How often does this happen? Even if it does, is it usually achieved within minutes?

Is the goal of professional traders reasonable? For this stock, yes. The best day trading coins usually fluctuate about 12% between the opening and closing. Professional traders capturing a 4.37% fluctuation is much easier than novices trying to capture 10% or 15%.

Professional traders may capture price fluctuations of 3% or 4% multiple times in a day.

A simpler method is to observe the range of price fluctuations for the day. This way, you can estimate the extent of price fluctuations and then remain conservative when setting profit targets, setting a lower target.

MARA rose $1.23 during the initial surge, an increase of 9%. It then retraced and started to rise again. If we go long, we assume prices will rise again, but conservatively, we want the target within the previous fluctuation range (less than 9%).

The goal of professional traders is 2.5 times the stop loss, requiring only the price fluctuation to reach about 2/3 of the last upward fluctuation. Therefore, professional traders actually use conservative targets but still earn 2.5% for the account. In contrast, novices use unrealistic targets far exceeding the typical fluctuation range of the day, so they earn little or even lose.

The ultimate advice for achieving large profits in day trading.

Whether in day trading or cryptocurrency trading, the same concept applies.

If an asset has low volatility (for example, EURUSD fluctuates about 1% daily, while oil or some stocks may fluctuate 5% or more daily), then leverage may be needed to bear 1% risk in the trade. For more volatile assets, we might only use part of the capital to bear 1% risk. However, it is all about balance, which is why one market is not necessarily better than another. Once you understand the concepts discussed in this article, all markets offer equal profit potential.

Making just one trade a day can also achieve significant profits. This trade may only last a few minutes. Large profits do not require a lot of screen time... although we do need to invest some time to identify opportunities.

On the contrary, the key to large profits lies in setting our risk limits, waiting for the market to provide a small stop loss opportunity (the smaller the stop loss, the larger the position size, while still only taking 1% risk of the account), and then taking profits at the multiples of the stop loss based on the day’s price action or the asset’s volatility characteristics.

Try it in a demo account. Each trade requires time and practice to determine the appropriate position size, place orders correctly, and assess which opportunities are worth seizing.

Summary of retail pain points in the cryptocurrency sector and their solutions.

1. Lack of patience.

Do not hold cash, cannot stand seeing others make money, eager to catch the bottom, always want to get rich overnight.

Underlying reason: insufficient understanding of market laws, desire for quick profits.

Countermeasure: develop an investment plan, train the investment mindset, learn value investing + concepts.

2. Lack of discipline

Not taking profits: not selling during retracements, not selling at the top.

Not taking losses: stubbornly holding on, luck mentality, weak positions arbitrarily averaging down.

Too greedy.

Underlying reason: greed, lack of rationality and established investment discipline.

Countermeasure: establish profit-taking and stop-loss mechanisms, strengthen investment knowledge learning, and review regularly.

3. Fear

Lacking one’s own investment logic: solely relying on news, making frantic decisions in a panic.

Operational mistakes: failing to reverse, not holding in a bull market, not resisting lower positions, frequently changing coins.

Diversification: multiple currencies in one account, less principal with more coins.

Underlying reason: excessive concern about market uncertainty, lack of confidence

Countermeasure: study fundamentals, learn technical analysis +, conduct psychological construction.

4. Chase high and sell low.

Underlying reason: influenced by herd mentality + lack of independent thinking.

Countermeasure: learn investment concepts, control trading frequency, establish a reflection mechanism.
