$5,000 to $260k, I only did three things, but most people give up at the first step

Many people ask me: Why do I always lose money trading cryptocurrencies? Am I not suited for this market?
I say it's not. It's because you don't understand from the start how to deal with "what do poor people do?" playing
I started with $5,000 and achieved over $260k in a month. It's not luck, it's method. Follow these three steps, at least you won't die mysteriously
Step one: Break down the money first, don't go all-in at once
Most people blow up their accounts not because of poor skills, but because of reckless hands. The market surges, you jump in, get trapped, hold on, and eventually go to zero
My approach is simple: buy spot with the main funds, focus on mainstream coins that are near the top of market cap, watch out for those with pitfalls. Keep a small portion for arbitrage, and the rest as emergency funds, never move them, don't participate in trading
Small funds should be slow and steady, rushing all-in from the start is like gambling with your life and luck
Step two: Learn arbitrage trading, this is the core for small funds to stabilize and grow
Many people look down on arbitrage, thinking it earns slowly. But for small funds to grow steadily, it's not about gambling, but about moving funds
Every day, focus on two signals: a big enough price difference between two exchanges, or a continuous negative funding rate. When a signal appears, buy spot on one platform, open a short position on another. This captures three profits: price difference, funding rate, and volatility
Many people know this trick, but less than 5% actually take the risk. If you dare to do it, you can grab that 5%
Step three: After your account grows, seize the window for new coin listings
Once your account exceeds $20k, I focus on new contracts launched within a few days. Why? During the initial launch, market makers are most anxious, systems are chaotic, retail traders are confused. Some liquidation engines may experience brief delays in extreme conditions. I target this window, placing orders, pushing prices up, then leaving
When there's volatility, I rely on this window, capturing most of the profit
Finally: Stop dreaming of doubling your money with every trade. To turn small funds into big ones, rely on three things: position splitting, arbitrage, and exploiting information gaps with execution
You don't lack capital, you lack a clear path to follow.
