I only have less than 10,000 USDT in capital. How can I survive decently in the crypto market?



To be honest, I used to rely on luck and news to gamble, and the result was a complete loss. Until I changed to a set of rolling position strategies, I steadily grew from 1,800 USDT to 100,000 USDT in less than a month, without liquidation or reckless gambling. This is not a joke; it’s the real path I’ve walked.

**The core logic boils down to four words: Small wins compound**

Initially, I set only a small goal — earning 3~5% profit daily. Don’t underestimate this small return; it’s terrifying when compounded. The key is that I only do high-probability trades, so my success rate stays above 70%. This relies on three points:

**1. Find the rhythm: Follow the trend, don’t go against the market**

Only trade pullback opportunities within an upward trend — this is the simplest and most aggressive method. Never chase the top or bottom, only eat the most stable middle part.

**2. Control position size: Only use half of the capital**

Never risk more than 50% of the total position each time, leaving room for correction even if your judgment is wrong. Add to winning positions gradually, and don’t hesitate to cut losses — because you’re only losing profits.

**3. Don’t be greedy: Lock in profits and think daily**

Trade at most 1~2 times a day. Take profits and rest to prevent market reversals. Review every night; if you made mistakes, note them down and optimize your execution the next day.

This pace may seem slow, but the power of compounding is beyond imagination. Specific cases include: capturing ETH breakout points in mid-May for a 700 USDT profit, quick in-and-out trades on ARB during early June for 1,000 USDT, BNB triangle breakout with volume surge in late July earning 2,300 USDT, and during the mid-August market rebound, even capturing a single double-up wave.

By sticking to this daily grind, my account grew from 6,000 USDT → 20,000 USDT → 38,000 USDT → 76,000 USDT... step by step upward. Now, the balance has reached 130,000 USDT.

And I still only do two things: trade only what I understand, and strictly follow my plan. Many people are still asking how to judge “it’s about to take off” or where to buy and sell, but I think instead of chasing perfect signals, it’s more important to solidify risk management.

This logic sounds very smooth, but how many people can stick with it...

Is making 1,800 to 100,000 a month possible? Brother, are you serious, or are you just storytelling again? Compound interest sounds simple, but very few people can consistently make 3-5% daily. Are you one of those few or is this survivor bias? Honestly, I agree with controlling position size, but how do you ensure a 70% win rate? Daily settlement mindset is good, but I'm worried that a single gap in the market could wipe it all out. I still don't believe that a small principal can grow so quickly unless you're incredibly lucky. This method sounds foolproof, but the question is, can your mindset hold up during execution? Compared to this story, I want to know more about how many times you've lost before you summarized this.

Sounds good, but those who can really earn 3-5% daily would have achieved financial freedom long ago. Are we still here?

1800 rolls to 100,000 in a month? Are you sure you didn't drop a few zeros, bro… This logic doesn't sound difficult, but how many people can really stick to 3-5% daily? Compound interest sounds simple, but the key is mindset… However, the daily settlement mindset indeed avoids many backlash pitfalls. A 70% success rate is a bit questionable. As I always say, backtesting looks good, but live trading is a different story. I just want to ask, can this strategy run stably in a bear market? I respect the fact that you take profits and walk away. At least you haven't been trapped by greed.

This logic sounds good, but honestly, there are not many people in the market who can maintain a 70% win rate. I'm just worried that it's another case of hindsight bias, with people telling stories about the profitable trades. The idea of small wins and compound interest is correct, but the problem is that most people simply can't stick to the daily settlement approach.
