Ten years have passed, watching wave after wave of people rush in and then silently disappear.

If you only have less than 1,000 USDT in your pocket and your mind is full of "betting big to turn things around," I have to be honest with you—stop first.

Your little ideas, the market sees through them clearly. Its favorite fuel is exactly this kind of greed-driven short-term thinking.

I've seen too many people dreaming with just a few hundred USDT, only to be completely wiped out in a month. This is not investment; it's a naked slaughter of probabilities.

But I've also witnessed another scenario—a buddy started with 900 USDT, strictly adhered to a few bottom lines, and managed to grow it to 30,000 USDT in five months. Now his account is steady.

How did he do it? Not some divine prediction, but one word: survive. I’ll share with you the strategy I’ve figured out—lessons bought with time and losses.

**First Trick: Wrap your principal in three layers of iron armor**

900 USDT? Don’t bet everything at once. Diversify:

Use 300 USDT for intraday trading—small money is still money. Aim for a 3% gain and then exit, never looking back.

Save another 300 USDT for big opportunities—most of the time, just sit tight. Only act when a confirmed opportunity arises, targeting over 15%.

The remaining 300 USDT is an emergency reserve—don’t touch it even if the sky falls.

Too many people die here—going all-in on the first trade.

Remember this: In this market, the right to keep breathing is more valuable than any dream of getting rich.

**Second Trick: Learn to read the market trend, don’t roll around in the mud**

Most of the market time is garbage time—ups and downs wildly jumping. Entering then just costs you fees.

Can't see the direction clearly? Then stay calm, brew some tea, watch the show. Only follow the main upward waves, and only after a breakout is confirmed.

Once your account’s floating profit reaches a quarter of your principal, take some off the table to lock in gains. Let the rest of the profit run.

Move less, watch more. Patience for one good opportunity is more meaningful than ten trades a day.

**Third Trick: Use iron discipline to lock your hands and mind**

This is the hardest but also the most effective.

For a single loss, a 2% stop-loss is a hard line—hit it, cut it. No excuses, no hesitation.

When your account’s floating profit reaches 5%, withdraw half of the profit. Set a break-even stop-loss immediately to let the market work for you.

Never add to a losing position to average down. "One day I’ll recover" is the most poisonous thought in the world.

Can you guarantee you always see the market correctly? Even gods can’t do that.

But discipline ensures that when you’re wrong, you only lose an arm; when you’re right, you can feast on a whole cow.

Once I was blindly stumbling in darkness, now I hold the light in my hand. Are you in or out?
