Having been in the crypto space for these years, I realize that my lifestyle is fundamentally different from friends who run factories or operate e-commerce businesses. When going out, I pay attention to accommodations, and I choose clothes and bags that incorporate some industry elements. I don't have to worry about contracts, supply chains, or other trivial matters, nor do I deal with social obligations. My mind is focused solely on market trends and key milestones.

People often ask me what my secret is for trading cryptocurrencies. My answer is straightforward: mindset first, skills second.

I've experienced big swings in this market myself. When I first started, I had 800,000 yuan, and during the last bull market, my account grew to over ten million. Later, it fell back from ten million to just over 2,000 yuan, and now I've recovered to a level with a small goal of 1.1 million. Next, I am waiting for the next market cycle, aiming to hit three small goals.

How to turn 5,000 capital into a million-level portfolio? My approach is to roll over the position in three phases.

**Phase 1: 5,000 to 50,000 (accumulate capital, find the feel)**

Start with spot trading. During the bear market bottom (for example, when BTC drops to around 16,000), buy BTC and ETH. When they rebound by 10%-20%, sell. Repeat this 3 to 5 times to grow the funds to 20,000 yuan.

Then practice with small leverage. Wait for BTC to break through key support levels (like 20,000 or 30,000), and open long positions with 1x leverage. When profits reach 10%, add 10% more with floating gains, with a stop-loss set at 2%. The key is to develop muscle memory for "stop-loss + adding on floating profits." Successfully completing at least 10 profitable trades is considered passing.

**Phase 2: 50,000 to 300,000 (capture trends, amplify gains)**

Operate during a clear upward trend. The standard for confirmation is when BTC's daily chart consistently stays above the 30-day moving average, and trading volume increases by more than three times. Only then do I confirm that I can enter the upward trend.

BTC3,38%

ETH5,4%

Tens of millions drop back to 2000? The contrast is just too extreme, how strong must your mentality be... --- Selling clothes and bags to find a feel? I think this is the real all-in move. --- Stop-loss at 2%, adding to positions on floating profits—easy to say, but in practice, it's all tears. --- Waiting for the next cycle? Bro, I've heard that line in every bull and bear market... --- Falling from tens of millions back to two thousand, this mental journey is more valuable than trading techniques. --- Focusing on accommodation and choosing bags, but the account is unpredictable—this isn't lifestyle, it's psychological conditioning. --- Is making 10 profitable trades enough to pass? I’ve done 100 and I’m still practicing. --- 30-day moving average + 3 times volume—whether this standard is reliable or not, it sounds very professional. --- Mentality first, no doubt, but the real test of mentality comes from the consecutive losses. --- Growing from 5,000 to a million sounds great, but what’s the success rate...

When it drops from ten thousand to two thousand, I knew this guy was telling the truth. Going from five thousand to a million sounds unbelievable, but the logic of rolling positions really has no flaws. It all depends on who can endure the mental challenge. It's nice to say "mindset first," but actually, you just have to stay alive. As long as you're alive, there's a chance.
