#美联储回购协议计划 Eight years of tears and blood in crypto trading: From liquidation to supporting my family with the crypto market, how I achieved 50x growth



In 2024, my account multiplied by 50 times. Honestly, if I hadn’t used my full savings to buy two houses midway, this number could have reached 85 times. Don’t ask me how I did it; today I’m revealing all my trading notes from these years— from the worst liquidation losses to now steady profits, every step is a lesson learned.

Let’s start with the most core principle: capital management.

My enlightenment came from a devastating loss. I bet my entire 800U principal on a single trade and ended up with zero. Only then did I realize a truth—trading crypto isn’t about luck; it’s about how long you can survive.

Later, I started over, dividing my principal into three parts. Only using one-third to open positions, while holding the rest tightly without touching it. Without clear signals, no matter how sharp the decline, I wouldn’t add to my positions; even when profitable, I wouldn’t chase with additional funds. Small capital fears frequent operations; one wrong judgment and it’s all gone.

Next, trading rhythm.

For example, trading is like shooting arrows. Don’t shoot unless you’ve aimed. When the market is unclear, the smartest move is to turn off the candlestick chart. I only trade signals that are clear and highly confident. Those choppy, oscillating markets? Forget it. Too many “leeks” get washed out, I’m not going to be one of them.

When real signals appear, I follow a three-wave approach: first wave to catch the initiation signal, second wave to step into the retracement opportunity, third wave to follow the continuing trend. The benefit of this method is risk diversification; you don’t risk everything on one move, whether it’s all profit or all loss.

Then, stop-loss and compound interest.

This is the most expensive lesson I’ve learned from failure. I never take profits to gamble big; instead, I treat them as new principal to roll into the next trade. For example, if I make 100U profit, I won’t allocate more than 30% of the original capital for the next position. The core logic is simple: let profits generate more profits, so the account can grow like a snowball.

What about losses? Immediately cut losses, don’t hesitate. Many people stubbornly hold on, thinking since they’re already losing, they might as well go all-in to recover, but that only deepens the loss. My approach is to control the size of each loss; even if I mess up, I still have bullets to bounce back later.

Finally, mindset.

While others chase the rise, I take profits; while others cut losses, I plan my next move. Doubling the account sounds magical, but it’s just simple compound interest accumulation. No matter how volatile the market, I stay calm because I’ve never made a move without a backup plan.

This strategy is especially suitable for small funds. When money is limited, stability is key. Mastering the combo of “position control + rhythm,” turning a few hundred U into thousands U is not a dream. I’ve seen too many beginners start with pocket money, recklessly trading, losing more and more, until they lose their principal altogether.

In summary, the core is: **Make your account grow a little every day; doubling is just a bonus**.

This theory sounds like a naive application of the Kelly formula, but the problem is— the market efficiency hypothesis does not hold at small capital sizes.

Bro, I really resonate with the story of clearing out that 800U. I did the same back in the day. Honestly, if you don't understand fund management, no matter how many times you multiply your gains, it's all just an illusion. The key is mindset. While others were going all-in, I was actually taking profits. It was hard to watch, but my account was smiling. It took me two years to truly master the art of buying and selling in batches. Looking back, those days of going all-in on a single trade were really ridiculous. Wait, 50x and buying two houses? How did you calculate that so perfectly? To be honest, with small funds, you need to be steady. Most people lose because of frequent trading. Now I might only make three to five trades a month. There are way too many trapped traders who get washed out. The temptation of the chart lines is something you have to withstand. The power of compound interest becomes more terrifying the further you go. You might not feel it early on, but after a year or two, you'll see the difference.
