People often DM me asking, “Did you go all-in and get lucky with that account? Or do you have some insider info?”

Honestly, I can only smile and shake my head. Rolling my initial $2,000 up to $70,000 wasn’t about taking reckless all-or-nothing bets, nor did I have any mysterious sources. I simply stuck to a practical strategy of “small steps, quick moves, locking in profits, and gradually increasing position size.” Sounds boring? But it’s precisely this seemingly clumsy method that allows the snowball to grow bigger and bigger.

**Getting Started: $2,000—Don’t Even Think About Doubling It**

When I started with that $2,000, I never expected it to turn into $20,000 overnight. That money was more like my “tuition”—used to learn the market’s temperament, get a feel for trading, and pay for the cost of mistakes. Back then, I set three hard rules for myself:
- Max leverage at 3x, never touch anything higher
- Only trade trends I understand—take profits early and get out
- Stop-loss for each trade never exceeds 5% of total capital

Too slow? Sure, it was slow. But my account never got liquidated, and my max drawdown always stayed under 20%. Step by step, I rolled that $2,000 up to a stable $6,000. This part might seem like it takes little skill, but it’s actually the most crucial—most people can’t even “stay alive” before they rush to chase 10x or 100x returns.

**Leveling Up: After $6,000, Steady but Faster**

Once I had over $6,000, I started to slightly increase my leverage, but never blindly. I only picked those opportunities with clear trends, clean positions, and supporting news for mid-term holds. My habits at this stage:
- Add to positions in batches along the trend, lock in profits after each move, never greedy for the last bit
- Set “profit-protection stop-loss”—either keep earning or exit without losses
- Proactively skip ambiguous market situations

In this stage, three key trades pushed my account just above $20,000. But I missed even more opportunities—can’t be helped. Missing out just means making less, but one big drawdown can wipe out all previous gains.

**Final Sprint: $20,000 to $70,000—Diversification + Compounding Is King**

After breaking $20,000, I split my funds into 3-5 independent sub-accounts, each running a different strategy (some short-term, some holding high-volatility coins, some betting on news events). The core logic is simple:

**Whenever profits hit 20%-30%, immediately take partial profits, lock them away, and reinvest the rest.**

For example, if $3,000 grows to $3,900, I’ll immediately withdraw $900 in net profit, and keep rolling the remaining $3,000. Multiple profit streams, always lock in gains—let compounding gradually push the account to $70,000.

To sum up, rolling your account is never about a single reckless bet, but about systematic discipline and rhythm. In crypto, everyone wants to get rich overnight, but those who survive four cycles and keep making money are usually the ones who understand position building and stick to the rules.

Don’t be greedy, don’t gamble, don’t overstay. Cut losses quickly, lock in profits early.

From $2,000 to $70,000, I’m not the smartest, nor the luckiest. But I’m probably the most stable—and the most disciplined.
