Last month, I tried a conservative strategy with 5,000 USDT and turned it into 100,000 USDT in three weeks.

There's no real secret—just being cautious.

I only dared to start with 1,000 USDT, using 3x leverage. After earning 1,500 USDT, I only took 500 USDT from those profits to continue scaling up, and then lowered the leverage to 2x. I just kept grinding like this, step by step, like an old tortoise.

I've seen too many people go all-in and get liquidated. During those two weeks when BTC was trading sideways, a lot of people were jumping in and out, losing a fortune just on fees. I just waited, only making a move once the price broke through a key level—didn't miss out on any of the real gains.

You have to treat your liquidation price like your lifeline. When BTC was at 108,000, I set my liquidation price below 96,000, leaving more than 10% of buffer space. When those flash crashes happened, others got liquidated, but I stayed steady.

The biggest risk in making money is greed. Once my principal doubled, I withdrew half. When I hit 100,000 USDT, I withdrew 80,000 right away, leaving 20,000 in to keep rolling. Only money in your pocket is real profit; numbers on the screen are just an illusion.

A few practical tips:
- Never put more than 20% of your total capital in your first position. Only scale up after you win.
- Only take trades you fully understand. If you don’t get it, don’t touch it.
- Set your liquidation price far away. It’s better to make less than to get liquidated.
- Withdraw your profits in time—don’t leave everything in the market.

ETH’s current price action follows the same logic: be patient, don’t rush. The market will always be there—but if your principal is gone, it’s really gone.
