#美联储重启降息步伐 Turning 10,000 USDT into 150,000 USDT—this really happened

Last year I met a crypto friend whose account once had over 300,000 USDT, but then got liquidated down to just 10,000 USDT. At that time, he was on the verge of a complete breakdown. But five months later? Not only did he recover his principal, he also made an extra 50,000 USDT.

I went through his trading history, and he hit every typical retail investor trap: chasing pumps and dumps, going all in based on emotions, stubbornly holding onto losses. I advised him to stop trading for a week and do a review. The result was clear—90% of his losses were concentrated in two areas: impulsive trading with no boundaries, and stop-loss rules that were just for show.

To address these two root problems, I set up hard rules for him. First, the maximum loss per trade is capped at 5%, no exceptions. Second, if the daily loss hits 10%, stop trading immediately. Only focus on key support and resistance levels for BTC and ETH, with stop-losses set 1.5% outside those levels. Once profits reach 5%, pull out the principal first—what’s left is real profit to go for bigger gains.

The final move was the real game changer. Take 2,000 USDT, split it into three parts, and invest in small-cap coins. But this isn’t blind investing—two conditions must be met. First, on-chain data must show that whales are still in the game and haven’t exited. Second, the total supply of the coin on exchanges must be steadily declining. When these two signals overlap, it’s basically a strong indicator of a potential pump.

Following this strategy, he turned 10,000 USDT around in just five months. Honestly, in the crypto space, 10,000 USDT is never a dead end. Most people actually fail because they're obsessed with “making back their losses fast.” Staying in the game longer is always more valuable than making quick profits. Winning or losing in crypto isn’t about short-term aggression, but about whether you can stay steady. Once you understand this, you’re already halfway to winning.
