#美SEC促进加密资产创新监管框架 Last night I witnessed a pretty shocking moment—a trader I’ve known for a few months messaged me, saying his account just broke through 100,000 USDT.

What’s even more impressive is the starting point: just 1,800 USDT in principal.

When he first reached out to me, that amount was so small that he even hesitated to open a position. The advice I gave him was blunt: stop dreaming of getting rich quick, and focus on figuring out how to survive first.

The method he used wasn’t actually complicated: he split the 1,800 USDT into three parts. The first part was for short-term trades—at most one trade a day, closing out after a 4% move. The second part was for mid-term trades—only acting when a clear signal appeared, and riding out the full swing. The third part he didn’t touch at all, treating it as ballast for the account.

With this seemingly clumsy approach, he grew his account to 58,000 USDT in three months.

What really left an impression wasn’t the profit multiple, but his discipline. When the market was choppy, he was tempted several times to overtrade, but he managed to hold back each time—not making moves during sideways markets is a form of risk control in itself.

As for his specific rules: never lose more than 2% per trade, reduce positions in batches after profits, and never add to losing trades. He stuck to these three rules for over ninety days straight, never breaking them.

Now his account has stabilized around 210,000 USDT, with zero liquidation events and no emotional re-entries.

He later summed it up in one sentence: money earned from trading is not luck, it’s the certainty brought by rules.

Capital size isn’t the bottleneck—a lack of methodology is. If you’re stuck in a loop of trial and error and repeated drawdowns, maybe it’s time to stop and re-examine your trading system.
