Having spent eight years navigating the crypto world, from initially experiencing frequent liquidations and losing all capital as a retail trader, to gradually becoming a professional trader who sustains a livelihood through trading. In 2024, my account achieved a 50x growth—if I hadn’t withdrawn profits twice for real estate investments along the way, this multiple would have already surpassed 85x. Today, I’ve decided to openly share the trading system I’ve kept under wraps, hoping to help friends in the crypto space avoid pitfalls and save ten years of detours by standing on the shoulders of those who came before. This methodology is specially refined for small-capital players, with a core principle summarized in four words: Stability First.

The entire trading system is like building blocks, stacking layer upon layer. Even if the account only has 800 USDT, you must strictly follow the rule of starting the first trade with one-third of the position, and hold onto the remaining funds tightly. Never add to a position without a clear entry signal; resist the impulse to buy the dip during a downtrend. Once the stop-loss level is hit, you must cut your losses and exit—small capital’s life line is fragile, and you can’t afford to be stubborn.

During sideways markets, my approach is simple: turn off the trading software and go for a walk. Don’t let the itch to trade drive you into pointless short-term battles, as this will only repeatedly drain your principal. There are only a few real opportunities—initial phase, correction phase, continuation phase—and only in these three stages do I target the most certain entry points before taking action.

There’s also a particular way to handle profits. When the first trade earns 100 USDT, treat that 100 as new principal to compound, keeping the overall exposure never exceeding 30% of the initial capital. Let profits generate more profits—don’t be greedy. Rely on the power of compound interest to gradually amplify gains.

And the most crucial point: take profits when the time is right. When others are still chasing the rally and on the verge of liquidation, I’ve already decisively exited and pocketed the gains. Conversely, when the crowd panics, cuts losses, and flees the market, I carefully plan the next cycle. Small-capital position rebuilding is never about luck; it depends on rhythm and the accumulation of compound interest.
