#美联储降息 From $8,000 to $150,000, it only took 30 days
Looking at the 150,000 figure in my account, my hands are still trembling. A month ago, I was curled up in a rented room, smoking cigarette after cigarette over a $200,000 loss.
Stories in the crypto world are always extreme—some go all-in and end up wiped out, some bear the losses while watching their principal evaporate, and others chase the trend and get cut. I’ve been through it too; losing $200,000 in a single month made me seriously question whether I should keep playing.
One drunken night, I suddenly had a realization: To survive in the crypto world, your position size is your lifeline, and rolling over positions is the way to stay alive.
I started over with the remaining 8,000 USDT, focusing on two key principles—no betting on directions, no all-in. Before each trade, I carefully calculated my position size, stop-loss, and add-on plan.
**Phase One**
Trying with 30% of my capital, entering with 3,000 USDT.
I woke up early to monitor the market, stayed up late reviewing until dawn, just watching this 3,000 USDT position. As a result, this position tripled. I didn’t celebrate the profits; instead, I became even more convinced of a principle: stability is the key.
**Phase Two**
Using profits to compound and adding small positions aligned with the trend.
Over six days, I avoided two pullbacks and caught three trend swings. The account increased by 40,000 USDT. That’s when I truly understood—speed isn’t the goal; slowing down allows for longer-term wins.
**Phase Three**
The trend became very clear. I added to my position in line with the trend but kept 20% of the principal as a cushion.
After 29 days, the account soared to 150,000 USDT. From $8,000 to $150,000 in less than a month, nearly a 20-fold increase.
Some say I got lucky, but this logic was derived through repeated review; these lessons were learned during losses. While you go all-in with full positions, I’m calculating my position sizes; while you chase news and fall into traps, I’m analyzing chart structures; while you gamble with your principal, I’m using profits to grow profits. This is the fundamental difference between relying on luck and relying on a trading system.
**Why do some people make money while others lose**
I’m often asked this. Honestly, it’s not about starting capital; it’s about how to keep the funds alive. It’s not about courage; it’s about the rational restraint to control desires.
Now I am preparing for larger trades, aiming for millions. I know there are risks along the way, but I’m no longer panicking. True success in the crypto world never depends on how much you make in a single trade, but on the ability to keep winning over time.

This story is quite detailed, but I still think the 20x number is suspicious... It's not that I don't believe you made money, I just want to ask if there's leverage involved?
---
It sounds good, but how dare you continue playing after losing 200,000 at the start... If it were me, I would have already quit.
---
Closing positions is indeed a strategy, but the market doesn't always cooperate, brother.
---
The last sentence sounds a bit pretentious; you're so humble when making money, but it's a different story when you're losing, huh.
---
Can you really make money without going all-in? All I see around are leveraged traders...
---
Looking at this operation process, it seems a bit like a hindsight analysis.

That's right, position sizing is indeed the lifeline, but your luck over the past month... hmm, no, it should be the system, got it.
---
Another story of bouncing back from the bottom, watching it makes me nervous for you. Truly, if you can keep this mindset, you'll win.
---
Talking about rolling positions is easy, but doing it is hard. Luckily, that time you lost 200,000 and blew your mind, otherwise you wouldn't have the current 150,000.
---
I've heard too many times that there's no need to bet on direction. Every time, it's the same—next time, full position all-in. Haha, if you can stick to it, that's impressive.
---
Million-level orders? Bro, your appetite is getting bigger. Be careful of flipping over... But according to your system, there’s indeed some substance.
---
The key is stability. What I admire most is this—it's not about how much you make, but about surviving longer. That's the real winner.
---
Honestly, a 20x increase in a month isn’t really a miracle in the crypto world. The key is whether you can hold on—that’s the real skill.

This version of "profit rolling into profit" sounds reliable, unlike those fools going all-in, because accounting is the king.

The story is enjoyable, but a 20x increase is really not that easy to replicate... The Fed's rate cut window is crucial, but mindset management is the real ceiling.

Well, I just want to ask, when it skyrocketed from 8,000U to 150,000U, was it again riding the wave of some airdrop project’s bonus period? Or is it really just relying on position management? I see you’ve written quite detailed about these three stages, but I still feel like something is missing... To be honest, I believe in the reinvestment logic — but most people can’t do it, they all want to go all-in for quick returns, no wonder they keep hitting zero.

The story is well told, but what I really want to ask is—have you really not hit any pitfalls this month? I've seen too many articles like this, and they all end with a twist.

This story sounds exciting, but the discipline required for rolling positions is really tough; most people simply can't do it.
---
A 20x increase sounds great, but the problem is most people break when a pullback comes.
---
Saying "no all-in" is easy, but how many times do you have to endure stop-loss pain to truly learn?
---
The logic of rolling profits upon profits is correct, but the psychological barrier is too difficult to overcome.
---
Honestly, the key to winning is simply to stay alive; anyone can hit a double in a single shot.
---
It's impressive that the account grew from 8k to 150k, but nobody mentions how many pitfalls were stepped over in this past month.
---
Position management sounds simple, but without losing 200,000, you can't truly understand this realm.
---
Staying up all night reviewing trades already eliminates half the people; most simply don't have that level of awareness.
---
A million-dollar goal is fine, just don't go all-in again when the time comes.
---
The phrase "stability is like gold" is valid; what retail investors lack most is this kind of steadfastness.
