Three months, turning 2,000 bucks into 60,000—sounds like one of those “get rich overnight” stories, right?



But let me tell you the truth first: this wasn’t some crazy stroke of luck. It was a decision I made after getting beaten down by the market so badly that I started to doubt my whole life.

At the time, my account was down to just 2,000 USDT, and my mindset had collapsed. Staring at the candlestick chart made me nauseous, and all I could think was, “Maybe I’m just not cut out for this.”

But at my lowest point, I set a rule for myself:

From now on, survival is more important than anything else.

No more going all in, no more gambling on luck, no more fighting the market head-on.

**First move: Divide my capital into five parts**

I split the 2,000 USDT into 5 chunks, each worth 400 USDT.

From then on, I’d only risk one chunk at a time. The other four would always be my backup.

Market not looking good? Cut my losses at 12 USDT and get out—no hesitation.

That “leave when you need to” feeling gave me my first real taste of risk control—it wasn’t the market leading me around, I was calling the shots.

**Second move: Hardwire stop-loss and take-profit into my brain**

I made strict rules for myself:

Lose 3% and cut → that’s 12 USDT

Gain 6%-10% and take profit → about 24-40 USDT

While others were praying in front of the charts, I just followed my system.

No greed, no wishful thinking, no chasing highs.

Making money suddenly became something I could “calculate.”

**Third move: Treat trading like a business**

I placed about 70 trades a month.

Win rate? 60%.

Doesn’t sound impressive, right?

But here’s the key: the structure.

When I lose, I lose small. When I win, I take my profits steadily.

At the end of the month, here’s the math:

28 losing trades: -336 USDT

42 winning trades: +1,470 USDT

Net profit: 1,134 USDT

That’s the power of compounding—most people talk about it all day but never really use it in their life.

**After 92 days, I withdrew all the money**

60,000 USDT, not a cent left behind.

No destiny, no luck. Just two words:

Rules + Execution.

You can’t control the market, but you can control how you act.

Most retail traders don’t lose to the market—they lose to themselves:

They go all in at the sight of an opportunity

They stubbornly hold on when the trend turns against them

They panic and want to run when they’re making money

They hold out hope and refuse to cut losses when they’re losing

They aren’t getting wrecked by the candlestick chart—they’re getting wrecked by their own habits.

As for me, everything changed the day I started changing my habits.

**Let me say something from the heart:**

Maybe you only have a few thousand as your starting capital right now.

Maybe the market has already made you question your life.

But you need to understand one thing:

With the right approach, even small money can make a comeback;

With the wrong approach, no amount of money will keep you safe.

It’s not that you’re incapable—it’s that your method isn’t working.

Want to change? You can start anytime.

ngl this dude's just describing basic position sizing and risk management like it's some underground alpha play... 60% win rate with asymmetric payoff structure is entry-level stuff, not rocket science. the real move is catching the arbitrage spreads before they even hit the public mempool, but sure keep grinding your 70 monthly trades while the real money's already gone

Ha, this is exactly what I've been saying—not just about taking profits and cutting losses, you deserve to get rekt. Bro, I've already tried this "five-position" strategy long ago; it's just about being a bit more shrewd than most people.

This sounds just like a guy I knew before, and his account disappeared last year.

That's right, it's really a matter of execution. I used to always look at how good the rules were, but just couldn't follow through.

To be honest, I've heard this logic too many times, but how many people can really stick with it? The key issue is that it's just too hard to get through the mental hurdle.
