Everyone entering the circle wants to get rich overnight, but I have to be honest—relying on gambling won't get you anywhere.

I also started as a small retail investor, with just a few thousand in my account. Now, the number in front of me is over 50 million. You might not believe it, but I got here step by step.

So what's the key difference? I never obsess over "how much can I make this wave," I only ask "should I move now or not." Many people do the opposite, so they keep losing.

**First Stage: Practice with 1000 bucks**

Divide into 5 parts, each 200 bucks for trading. No greed, set stop-loss and take-profit levels for each trade. Most importantly—don't chase, don't hold on stubbornly, don't bet against the trend. Only take opportunities I truly understand. This stage is about spending money to learn lessons, but the lessons are valuable.

I've studied mainstream coins like $ETH and #以太坊大户持仓变化 , but real trading opportunities are actually few. Better to miss out than to act recklessly.

**Second Stage: After the account exceeds 10,000**

At this point, there’s some profit, and the mindset changes. Most people start to leverage and increase positions, but a single correction can wipe them out. My approach is to keep each trade within about 25% of the total funds.

When the market moves favorably, I add in stages. Not going all-in at once, but riding the middle part of the trend, which is the easiest to profit from. It’s like riding a roller coaster—you don’t need to ride from start to finish, just catch the most exciting part. Fans who turned 900 bucks into 18,000 did it this way.

**Third Stage: After breaking 200,000, learn to withdraw funds**

This is where most people get stuck. When the account looks good, their mindset gets cocky. I choose to lock in some profits weekly and withdraw. Not because I’m afraid of losing again, but because I’m genuinely afraid of becoming overconfident. Staying steady and alive is far more important than chasing the last wave of the market. Stability is actually the real secret to huge profits.

**Why do so many still blow up?**

They simply can’t control their positions, exceeding limits. Or they don’t set stop-losses at all, losing everything in one go. The most heartbreaking is when some people judge the direction correctly—like $ASTER and $PEPE —and those coins do rise, but they stubbornly hold on, turning profits into huge losses.

Honestly, 90% of blow-ups aren’t due to bad market conditions, but because of poor operational rules. No stop-loss awareness, no position management, unable to hold onto profits—any one of these can be fatal.

Over the years, surviving in this circle, I’ve realized: there are thousands of ways to make money, but only one logic to stay alive—manage your positions well, set proper stop-losses, lock in profits regularly. The rest is patience—waiting for the right opportunities to come along.
