From 7,000 yuan to 100,000, I really made it through this journey.

At that time, my account was down to just 7,000 yuan. The day I converted it to 1,000 USDT, to be honest, my hands were shaking. But I didn’t go all in right away—I started by taking out 200 USDT to practice, always picking the most volatile assets of the day, cashing out when I doubled, and cutting losses immediately if it dropped by 50 USDT.

I just kept grinding like this, rolling it up bit by bit.

The hardest part isn’t watching the charts, it’s controlling yourself. Every time I made a thousand or so USDT, I forced myself to take a day off, no matter how much I wanted to keep trading. Greed can really get the better of you.

Once my principal grew to a certain size, I started splitting my funds: one-third for quick in-and-out trades, one-third for trend-following DCA without wavering, and the rest set aside—waiting for those high-certainty opportunities to strike precisely.

Before every order, I’d set my take-profit and stop-loss levels in my phone notes in advance. Those who trade without a plan, just going by gut feeling, end up getting wrecked by their own emotions.

Leverage is basically a magnifying glass—it magnifies your judgment, whether right or wrong. So I set four rules for myself and never break them:

· Never go all in with my entire position
· Every trade must have a stop-loss
· No more than three trades per day
· Withdraw some profits as soon as I make them

I’ve seen too many people make money by luck, only to give it all back out of greed. The reason I made it from 1,000 USDT to where I am now isn’t about genius trades, but about being ruthless when I need to be and steady when it’s time to stop.

You can change coins, but you can’t break your rules.
