Many fans keep asking me the same question: "How can a few thousand yuan turn into a million?" It sounds tempting, but the hidden truth behind it is that those who are eager for quick success are most likely to become the sacrifices of the market. I have been in the crypto world for many years and know well the cruelty within: the faster the pace, the quicker you get liquidated.



Rather than promoting the myth of getting rich quickly, let me talk about my real strategy. My account started with 7000 RMB, and after converting to 1000U, I entered a long survival mode.

**Early Stage: Surviving is more important than making quick money**

In the beginning, I followed two iron rules. First, never go all in - 200U for testing the waters is the standard configuration, and the rest is "capital for survival". Second, prioritize choosing coins that rank high in daily trading volume. Why? Sufficient liquidity means small slippage and low risk of price spikes, which is particularly crucial for small funds.

The rhythm of taking profits and cutting losses must be precise: withdraw when profits double, cut losses when they hit 50U. I never play with the gambler's mentality of holding onto positions. As long as I make 1000U a day, I immediately stop, regardless of whether the market is still rising—getting carried away often comes at the cost of a retracement.

The focus at this stage is not on how much you can earn, but on honing your trading instincts. Learn to read the rhythm of candlestick charts, feel the fluctuations of market sentiment, and develop a reflex for taking profits and cutting losses. These skills are worth much more than the numbers in your account.

**After capital growth: Three-point method to diversify pressure**

When the account rose to 5000U, I adjusted my strategy - no longer betting on a single approach.

Short-term sniping accounts for 30% of the funds, only doing 15-minute level swings. EMA7 and 25 golden cross are entry signals, and dead cross means exit. Take profit is set above 1:1.5 to be considered. This fast-paced approach requires full concentration, but the win rate is relatively stable.

Trend-based investment accounts for 40% of the funds, mechanically investing in BTC and ETH monthly. In a bear market, aggressively averaging down, while in a bull market, maintaining restraint, which requires strong psychological fortitude — because most people do the exact opposite.

The remaining 30% is reserved for bullets. When the market crashes, don't panic; instead, it's an opportunity that arises. This money is specifically saved for those moments when "everyone is in panic," which often allows for a beautiful ambush.

This is what I want to hear, not those quick-rich chicken soup stories. Survival first, making money second, most people get it wrong. --- Those who went in with a Full Position all died in the bull run; I've never seen anyone leave alive. --- "Stop when you earn 1000U a day"—this phrase has hurt how many people still wandering in a dream. --- The three-point method sounds simple, but very few have truly endured through two Bear Markets; discipline is indeed the most expensive thing. --- The discussion on bullet reserves is good; I've experienced the pain of having no money during a big dump, and I never want to go through that again. --- Short-term snipers withdrawing after earning 1000U a day, that psychological quality… true veterans; the words get carried away have destroyed how many accounts. --- Starting from 7000 to the current account size, the path you've taken is the standard way of surviving on the battlefield—only living long enough can lead to victory. --- Most retail investors don't even look at the detail of Liquidity, they just dive in directly, and then get played for suckers by Long Wick Candle and still don't know what happened.

Indeed, those who are overly eager for quick success have already been weeded out; I have seen too many of them.

You're not wrong, but I find that most people simply can't maintain that level of discipline for their "emergency fund"; going all in is the norm.

Tsk, it's this trap again, I've heard it so many times... there are hardly any who truly survive, but there are plenty who brag about it. Speaking of which, I've also tried the 200U trial, but too many people can't handle the psychological torment, and they run away at the first Long Wick Candle. In terms of Margin Replenishment during a Bear Market, most suckers come in the opposite direction, they deserve to be liquidated, haha. It's true that the quick money-making tactics are outdated, now it's all about whether you can last long enough. Opportunities really go to those who can endure, but unfortunately, most people can't wait for that moment. Take profit sounds simple, but executing it is a killer... I've also been trapped by pullbacks quite a few times before.

You are right, those who boast about getting rich are just using the trap of playing people for suckers. I have seen too many newbies brainwashed. Your clarity is really much more reliable than the dreamers all over the internet. The execution of stop loss is the key to making money, most people fail at the step of holding a losing position. I also use the EMA golden cross pattern, and it indeed has a stable win rate. Margin Replenishment in a bear market and restraint in a bull run; those who do the opposite mostly have blown their accounts, and their mindset is really tough. This is called practical experience, unlike some people who draw cakes every day. The idea of bullet reserves is brilliant; panic time is actually the best opportunity for sniping.

You're right, being alive is the most important thing; the dead can't make money.
