#BTC资金流动性 Entering with 5000 yuan, I’ve survived in the crypto world using the most straightforward methods
Honestly, I started with a principal of 5000 yuan. I’ve blown accounts, stepped into all the traps beginners fall into. Now I can make a living from trading, with a stable annualized return of 50%+, but it’s not because I can predict the market, rather because I’ve ingrained trading discipline into muscle memory.
**Three bottom lines that directly determine how long you can hold on**
1. Timing is right, win rate doubles
The market is chaotic during the day, with fake breakouts everywhere. My rule is strict: only trade after 9 PM. Nighttime volatility is more stable, logic is clearer. When combined with signals like MACD golden cross and Bollinger Band squeeze breakout, the win rate immediately increases.
2. The money earned must be truly withdrawn
The numbers in the account are fake; only what’s transferred into the bank card counts. My rule is to withdraw 30% of profits once earned, and on Fridays, withdraw 30% of the weekly profit. This helps resist the temptation of reinvestment and preserves the principal.
3. Indicators are tools, feelings are poison
Only open a position when all three conditions are met: RSI oversold + volume triples + price stabilizes at support. The power of indicator resonance is much more reliable than any “I feel it will rise.”
**Strong execution beats prediction ability**
For short-term trading, use 10-minute K-line: RSI breaks below 30, volume triples, price holds support. Only try when all three are present, take a 5% profit and then exit.
Leverage at most 2x. 5x or 10x is gambling, not trading. I’ve grown from 500,000 to 25 million over 4 years, never exceeding 2x leverage.
Stop-loss and take-profit must be mechanical: cut losses at 5%, withdraw 20% of principal when earning 15%, clear RSI above 70.
**Four pitfalls that will ruin your efforts if you step into them**
Don’t use leverage over 5x, especially avoid high leverage as a beginner;
Most “shanzhai” platforms are Ponzi schemes, only watch $BTC and $ETH;
Limit to no more than 3 trades per day, refuse emotional trading;
No matter how good the market is, don’t borrow money to open positions.
The most common dream sold in the crypto world is “get rich overnight.” But truly stable profits come from repeating these simple actions daily: do nothing when there’s no signal, withdraw profits fully once gained, and discipline will always beat intuition.

My buddy is right, discipline is a lifesaver. Back then, I survived by doubling my leverage and fighting to the end.
---
All those numbers in the account are illusions; only when you withdraw do you truly earn.
---
Only start trading after 9 PM. I also stick to this rule. Those fake breakouts during the day can fool you to death.
---
Imitations? I don't touch them. I only deal with BTC and ETH. Others are just cash crops for the harvesters.
---
Someone who makes over 3 trades a day is almost certainly driven by emotions. I've seen too many such casualties.
---
Having 5,000 yuan to survive until now is indeed not easy, but what's even harder is not being greedy. Most people die here.
---
Doubling leverage over 4 years to reach 25 million? If you want me to believe that speed, you first have to prove you haven't gambled before.
---
Stop-loss at 5%, take-profit at 15%. Sounds simple, but in practice, it can scare away 99% of traders.
---
People who borrow money to open positions, they start to get cocky after making some small profits in the first two waves. I don't know how they died later.
---
The indicator resonance method is still reliable. It's definitely better than those silly "I feel it's going to rise" predictions.

Forget it, it's better to play it safe. After seeing so many dreams of getting rich quickly, they all end up dying on leverage.

honestly, the "discipline becomes muscle memory" part hits different. been watching too many people blow up on 5x leverage thinking they found the secret sauce. like mile 20 in a marathon, most traders hit the wall and just... sprint. wrong move.

It's that kind of story again, "I went from 5,000 to 25 million." Just listen to it; people who really make money usually don't teach others in such detail.

Waiting until 9 PM to place an order is a brilliant move. I used to mess around during the day and end up losing a lot.

An annualized 50% sounds quite stable, but the temptation of 5x leverage is really hard to resist. They say they won't touch it, but in a month, it's all gone.
