From 10,000U to 75,000U: I Turned the Tables Thanks to the "Only Trade 5 Times" Rule

Someone asked me: “With 10,000U, how can you have a chance to turn your life around in the crypto market?” I just replied with one sentence, which sounds simple but most people can’t do it: “It’s not about how you play, but whether you dare to only trade 5 times in 3 months.” Don’t laugh! That seemingly strict rule is what helped me turn 10,000U into 75,000U—not thanks to luck, not thanks to “insider tips,” but thanks to discipline.

❌ I Used To Be The Kind Of Trader Even I Found… Funny When I first entered the market, I was just like everyone else: Trading 10–20 orders a day, entering whenever the candles moved Not setting stop-losses because I thought “it’ll come back” Doubling down when in the red, fooling myself that it’s a “buy the dip opportunity”

The result? My account slowly dwindled with every transaction fee. My confidence evaporated day by day. It wasn’t until I blew up my account that I finally woke up.

✔️ I Set Myself A Rule: Only Make 1–2 Trades Per Month And this was the real turning point. No signal → NO trade Not clear → NO guessing Not sure → NO FOMO with the crowd Instead of chasing the market, I started waiting for the market to “come to me.” And I realized 3 truths that every small trader should engrave in their mind:

🔥 1. Only Hunt For “Decisive Trades” I stopped paying attention to swings of a few hundred dollars. I only placed orders when: $BTC or $ETH broke key MAs Price broke the top with surging volume The trend was clear, and buying/selling pressure was obvious Volume and market structure confirmed a real breakout One “clear opportunity” is worth more than 20 vague trades.

🔥 2. Play With “Standards”: Max Loss 5%, Gains 2–5x That’s the secret that helped me win big even if my accuracy wasn’t too high. For example: With 10,000U, each order loses a maximum of 500U But when I catch the right trend, I hold till the end → profit of 3,000, 5,000, even 10,000U One big win can erase 3–4 losing trades. This is the strategy of a professional trader, not a newbie taking wild bets.

🔥 3. Trade Less But Sharply In the 5 trades I made in 3 months: One loss → small loss But one Long ETH order at the right structure break → 2,700U profit in just 8 hours And one BTC entry right before a strong rally → caught the whole wave Summary: Few trades but high quality, profits big enough to cover all small mistakes.

💡 The simple truth: Small capital traders don’t need to “trade a lot,” just “trade at the right time.” Most traders lose not because they can’t analyze. But because: They trade when bored They trade just to scratch the itch They follow fake signals in chat rooms They fear missing out They don’t dare to wait for a “truly good setup” But if the money in this market doesn’t go to the patient, then who does it go to?

📌 Want your account to grow big? Remember these 3 things: No signal → stay out Signal → enter fast, clear stop-loss Right trend → let profits run, don’t take profits too soon Crypto doesn’t reward the reckless, it rewards those who can wait—who can choose—who can hold. 10,000U can absolutely become 50,000U or 100,000U… If you’re willing to stop clicking buttons like a machine and start trading like a hunter.

If you’re feeling: Trading forever but not making progress Not sure which setups to take or skip Want to understand how the market really works Or need updates—analysis that cuts to the core
