#美国考虑BTC战略储备 $ZEC To be honest, when people first enter this market, nine out of ten are hoping to turn things around quickly.

I get it. I went through the same thing.

A few years ago, I only had a few thousand USDT in my account. I wasn't a big player, had no inside info, just an ordinary retail investor.

Now? My account balance has surpassed 50 million+.

It's not luck. It's because I made enough mistakes to finally figure things out.

**In the very beginning: Don’t rush to make money, focus on not losing it all**

With $1,000 as my principal, I split it into 5 parts. Only used $200 for each trade.

Why? To always leave myself a backup plan.

For every trade, I forced myself to:
- Set a stop-loss
- Set a take-profit point
- Don’t chase when the price rises, don’t panic when it drops
- Exit immediately if the trend looks wrong

With just these simple rules, you can survive longer than most people.

**After breaking $10,000: Follow the trend, don’t fight the market**

When my account hit $10,000, I increased my position size per trade to 25%.

Once the trend was in my favor, I’d build positions in batches, letting the profits roll in.

A lot of people focus on “how much did I make today?”

I only care about: Is my direction right? Is the trend still solid?

**After surpassing $200,000: Take profits, don’t let paper gains slip away**

When my account reached $200,000, I set a strict rule for myself:

Withdraw a portion of profits every week.

It's not because I don’t trust the market, but because I don’t trust getting overconfident.

The steadier you are, the steadier your money will be.

**Why do most people fail to make money?**

Honestly, it comes down to a few things:
- Completely chaotic position management
- Always saying “I’ll set a stop-loss next time”
- Get the direction right, but stubbornly hold through drawdowns
- Get cocky after one win, fall apart after one loss

A friend who copied my trades recently grew from $800 to $12,000, and couldn’t sleep after withdrawing.

I told him: Don’t rush, this is just the beginning.

This market isn’t for lone wolves. If you don’t have a network, rhythm, or information edge, you’re basically betting against the entire market.
