To be honest, I really did turn a few thousand yuan into six figures.

A lot of people ask me how to get started with a small amount of capital. I won't give you any grand theories—I'll just tell you what I did myself.

Back then, my account was down to 7,000 yuan, so I gritted my teeth and converted it all into 1,000 USDT. But I didn’t go crazy—I took out half to test the waters first. I watched the coins with the highest trading volume that day, cashed out as soon as I doubled, and immediately cut my losses if it dropped below 300 USDT. After a few rounds of this, my principal slowly started to grow.

The hardest part actually wasn’t losing money—it was the inflated feeling after making money. Every time my account went up to over 1,000 USDT, I forced myself to close the app, go outside, and take a day to cool off. Otherwise, I’d get hot-headed and give back everything I’d made.

Once my capital grew, I divided my funds into three parts:
One part for short-term trading—take profits quickly, no hesitation.
One part for long-term trend investing—stick to the plan, regardless of ups and downs.
The last part stays on the sidelines, waiting for a real opportunity before making a move.

I have a habit: before every trade, I must write down my take-profit and stop-loss points in my phone’s notes. Those who trade based on gut feeling—nine out of ten end up losing because of their own emotions. Leverage is just an amplifier—if you’re right, you double your money, but if you’re wrong, you lose it even faster.

Over the years, I’ve set four rules for myself and never broken a single one:
Never go all-in.
Always set a stop-loss for every trade.
Open no more than three trades a day.
Withdraw some profits whenever I win.

I’ve seen too many people make money by luck, then lose it all to greed. If I could go from 1,000 USDT to where I am now, it all comes down to one principle: be decisive with the market, and ruthless with yourself. Coins change every day, but discipline is something you can’t afford to lose.
