#美联储重启降息步伐 How to Make Your First Million in Crypto?

Don’t aim too high, thinking about tens of millions—your journey in crypto starts with that first million. With this principal, even just earning 20% from spot trading can earn as much as a full year’s work for an office worker.

After all these years in the space, I’ve found that the people who last the longest aren’t those making tiny daily gains, but those who split up compounding profits into a few explosive wins, rolling their positions to achieve it—usually practicing with light positions, and going all in when they spot a strong signal, only going long and never shorting.

What do those signals look like? These three criteria are enough:

**Signal 1**: After an oversold dip, the price consolidates for a while, then suddenly breaks upward with heavy volume. That’s when the trend truly reverses.

**Signal 2**: The candlestick breaks above a key moving average, trading volume surges, and market sentiment clearly rebounds.

**Signal 3**: Even if you see nothing on Weibo trending, and retail investors are still trash-talking, the smart money has already started quietly accumulating at the bottom.

Here’s how to put this into practice, using $50,000 as an example:

First, this $50,000 should be previous profits. Cut losses to recover your account, then start the rolling position strategy.

Second, use isolated margin mode, keep total position size under 10%, with max leverage at 10x. In effect, it’s like 1x leverage. Set your stop-loss strictly at 2%.

Third, once a breakout is confirmed, only add to your position after a 10% price increase. Use 10% of your newly earned profit to open a new position, always maintaining your stop-loss at 2%.

Iron rules for the whole process: Never go all in, never average down, and never hold onto losing positions. If you hit your stop-loss, close everything and wait for the next opportunity.

A single 50% main uptrend, compounded, can turn $50,000 into $200,000. Catch two in a row, and you’ll hit $1 million. In reality, you only need to roll three or four times in your life—$50,000 turns into $1 million, then $10 million, and you can retire from trading.

Risk management mantras to remember:

🔹 Don’t roll positions in choppy markets, don’t roll during slow downtrends, and avoid news-driven coins.

🔹 Even if you lose your principal, you only lose the margin for each isolated position. The rest of your funds are automatically protected; even if liquidated, your whole account isn’t wiped out.

🔹 Periodically withdraw 30% of your rolling profits and use it for real-life goals like buying a house or car. Don’t let greed eat up all your gains.

Put simply, rolling positions isn’t gambling with your life—it’s betting on the opportunities the market gives you. Take action when the opportunity comes, rest when it doesn’t, and missing out is fine. Reckless trading is the real trap.

When you finally roll up your first million, you’ll naturally understand what position management, emotional control, and market cycles mean. After that, it’s just repeating the same playbook over and over.

Crypto always rewards those who are prepared.
