Many beginners ask me the same question: I only have 7,000 yuan, can I really turn it into one million through trading?
I won't make up stories, but I have indeed tried this path.
At that time, my account only had 7,000 yuan. When I exchanged it for 1,000 USDT, I was very clear—this is not a chance to turn things around, but a chance to survive.
I didn't go all-in, nor did I think about getting rich overnight.
Initially, I only started with 200 USDT, focusing on the most active and emotionally charged coins. Double up and exit; if I was wrong, I would admit it immediately, and cut losses at 50 USDT, leaving no room for illusions.
Honestly, the real bottleneck is never technical analysis but whether you can control your own hands.
Whenever my account increased to over 1,000 USDT, I would forcibly stop trading for an entire day. Not because I was afraid of not making money, but because I was afraid that one irrational move would destroy all the discipline I had built.
As my principal gradually grew thicker, I started building a complete trading setup:
One dollar dedicated to short-term trades, only capturing emotional premiums, taking profits and then leaving; one dollar based on market trends, investing without feeling, only looking at price levels; the rest just sitting idle, only used during major market rallies, staying in cash otherwise.
Before each trade, my trading memo only has two lines: take-profit price, stop-loss price.
Trading without a plan will ultimately be hijacked by emotions.
Over the years, I have strictly adhered to four bottom lines, never breaking them: no full position, no holding on stubbornly, a maximum of three trades per day, and profits must be withdrawn.
I have seen people who rely on luck to make their first million, and I have seen even more who, due to a single impulsive decision, lose all their gains plus the principal.
From 1,000 USDT to where I am now, there are no tricks.
Just two words: remain calm about the market, and be ruthless with yourself.

Controlling your hands is really the hardest part. I lost everything because of one moment of greed.

Holding back your hand is really the hardest part, I’ve been through that stage too...
---
Setting take profit and stop loss on paper, the real opponent is actually your own greed.
---
Doubling and then leaving? Easy to say, hard to do. Mental preparation is the main thing.
---
The four bottom lines were spoken harshly, indeed I haven't seen many who can stick to them consistently.
---
Only now do I realize the value of not holding full positions; I once went all-in once and never want to do it again.
---
Clarity and ruthlessness are indeed the core of this game; technology is actually secondary.

ngl the discipline part is lowkey the hardest exploit to patch in your own code... most people fail the self-audit before they even get a trade off

No problem with that. The key is self-discipline and stop-loss; these two things are the hardest but also the most valuable.
