Many people ask, how can I turn things around in the crypto market with only a few thousand yuan? Actually, I have walked this path myself — during the toughest times, my account balance was only 7,000, and I bit the bullet and converted everything into 1,000 USDT, betting my entire assets.



But I didn't go all-in at once. I started with 200 USDT to test the waters, choosing the hottest coins of the day, and would exit immediately after doubling, cutting losses at 50 USDT. After winning several rounds, the principal gradually accumulated. To be honest, the biggest test isn't technology but mindset — every time I make over 1,000 USDT, I force myself to stop for a day, or I risk getting too impulsive and emotional.

Once my capital was solid, I began using a sub-account management method: short-term trades that quickly enter and exit without attachment, dollar-cost averaging following the trend without being swayed by emotions, and the remaining funds kept aside for big market moves before making a move. Before each order, I would note the take-profit and stop-loss prices in a memo. Those who trade without a plan and just rush in are mostly dragged down by emotions and end up losing unexpectedly. Futures trading isn't magic; it only amplifies your judgment — correct calls double your gains, wrong calls double your losses.

Over the years, I set myself four strict rules, never breaking them: never full position, always set stop-loss on every trade, a maximum of three trades per day, and withdraw a portion of profits whenever there are gains. I've seen too many people make money relying on luck, only to give it all back out of greed. From 1,000 USDT to now, it all boils down to — trading when the market calls for it, and strictly adhering to your rules. The trend in the crypto market is always changing, but your personal trading system must never waver.

In simple terms, it's a game between self-discipline and greed, with most people falling victim to the latter.

How many people can actually stick with it, if you put it nicely?

It sounds good, but how many can really do it? Stop-loss is easy to talk about, but when your hands shake, you forget everything.

After all this, the core remains the same — mindset is greater than technology, and rules are greater than luck.

That's right, mindset can really determine life or death, but I still think implementing stop-loss is the most difficult part.
