10,000 yuan principal to 300,000, this journey is not about luck at all, but relies on a set of trading disciplines ingrained in my body.

Back then, I started with 10,000 yuan, converting it into 1,000 USDT, ready to go all in. But I never thought about going all-in — that idea doesn’t last long. I first took 600 USDT to test the waters, focusing only on the top few coins that were hottest that day. If I doubled my money, I would exit immediately; if the position dropped to a 50 USDT loss, I would cut my losses and walk away.

After several consecutive wins, the principal began to snowball. But there is a harsh reality — the hardest part of trading is not making money, but controlling your greed. I set a rule for myself: every time I make more than 1,000 USDT in profit, I must forcibly stop and rest for a whole day, avoiding the temptation to chase after more gains. Emotions are the biggest killer in contracts.

Once my capital became substantial, I started trying combination strategies. Part of the funds are used for short-term trades, taking profits when the market is good; another part is for long-term investments, unaffected by daily fluctuations; finally, I keep enough reserve funds ready to strike precisely when a big market move occurs.

Over the years, I have always adhered to four iron rules:

**Never bet everything on one position** — this is the first and most important rule. Each trade must have a stop-loss limit, no more than three trades per day, and profits should be regularly withdrawn. I’ve seen too many people make a lot of money relying on luck, only to lose everything in the end due to greed and return the entire profit to the market.

**Before placing each order, lock in your take-profit and stop-loss points in advance** — entering without a clear plan is no different from gambling. Contracts are never a guaranteed way to make money; they only amplify your rationality or greed infinitely.

Getting from 600 USDT to where I am now is nothing more than being sufficiently calm about the market and ruthless with myself. I used to stumble blindly in the market, but now I’ve finally found the right direction. If you’re still wandering in confusion, consider this logic as a reference to steadily get on the right track.
