Many people often ask me how to start from 1200U and gradually grow to 800,000U. To be honest, I don't usually recommend people to enter the market, but for those who are genuinely eager to succeed, today I’m willing to share some practical insights.

Over the years, I’ve experienced too many cycles of "making money and losing it," which has taught me a key principle: occasional profits are not the real goal; the true winners are those who can lock in profits and protect against drawdowns. This is the critical threshold for retail investors to advance from amateurs to "profitable traders."

In my early days, I also chased after 100x coins, constantly seeking the next hot trend. Later, I realized that failing to hold onto small profits is just a waste of effort. The real secret to continuous account growth is never about how much you make in a single trade, but about strictly controlling drawdowns. This is basic math: if your account drops 50%, you need to double your capital to break even. How much pressure does that number represent?

Looking at the market now, I rarely ask "which coin will give 100x returns." To me, that’s a low-level way of thinking. I focus on account management—monitoring the overall account’s gains and losses, rather than chasing sudden surges in individual coins. Market opportunities are endless, but the ones truly yours are only a few; there’s no need to be greedy.

The hardest part in crypto isn’t reading the market, but controlling your own hands. People are naturally afraid of missing out and not afraid of getting trapped. They always think missing a rally means losing money. To avoid missing out, they’d rather get caught in a trap and chase the upward move. I’ve seen too many experts fail at this point.

Behavioral finance studies show that after a portfolio’s unrealized gains exceed 50%, the probability of a 15% or more profit retracement within the next 30 days is as high as 54%. That’s the cost of greed.

My solution is quite straightforward: dare to give up opportunities that don’t belong to you. Engage in low-frequency trading, and only act at the most confident moments.
