Two months, turning 1,000 USDT into 13,000 USDT—not luck, but the result of strict discipline.
The protagonist of this story is longtime follower Ken. At the beginning of May, when he came to me, his account only had $1,000 left, and his face said it all: “If I don’t make a comeback, I’ll quit the game.” My prescription for him was just six words: Don’t be greedy, stick to the rules.
**Phase One: Seven Days of Holding Back** For the first seven days, I told him not to open any positions, just to watch the market and get a feel for it. On May 9th, when BTC dropped below 60,000, he finally made a move—using $300 principal with 5x short leverage, entering at 59,600 and setting a stop-loss at 58,800. That night, BTC bounced back to 61,000, he cashed out immediately for an 18% gain, withdrew $50 to celebrate, and the account grew to $1,180.
**Phase Two: Small Steps, Fast Pace, No Recklessness** Before reaching $5,000, no single trade exceeded 20% of his position, and as soon as he made 15% profit, he exited in batches. In mid-May, he caught the ETH breakout above 3,620 and made $750; in June, he set up a long position at the bottom of LTC’s range and gained another $420. The account steadily grew to $7,500, with maximum drawdown controlled within 3%—all thanks to the “batch entry + batch take-profit” strategy.
**Phase Three: More Ruthless After Breaking 10K** After the account surpassed $10,000, the position limit was set at 40%, maximum leverage capped at 8x, and take-profit was executed in three tiers. On July 1st, when BTC had a daily golden cross with volume, he placed a $1,360 long at 63,500, took profit in batches as planned, and pocketed $1,800; on the same day, ETH followed up with another $900 profit. The account finally settled at $13,300, a 13x increase, with total drawdown never exceeding 5%.
The numbers speak for themselves: 21 trades, 66% win rate, 2.2 risk/reward ratio, with the worst losing streak only costing $90.
A follower named "Xiao Yu" followed the same strategy, starting with $1,000, withdrew $1,500 every time she broke $3,000. After two months, her account had $6,800 left, and she had withdrawn a total of $6,500—formula money secured.
Turning small funds into big ones isn’t about hitting miracle trades; it’s about “position sizing + emotion management + technical confirmation.”
In the next market cycle, only those who hold onto their principal and stick to their discipline will laugh in the end. Are you ready for your game plan?

Let me see the data: 66% win rate, 2.2 profit-loss ratio, maximum drawdown of 5%... These indicators really can't lie. But the question is, how many people can actually hold out and not take action during those first seven days? That's the real bottleneck, isn't it?

No exaggeration or negativity, this set of rules is indeed solid. The key is to hold back and not act impulsively.
---
Sounds nice, but how many people can actually stick to a 20% position?
---
Huh, this data is interesting... 66% win rate, 2.2 risk-reward ratio—if that can really be replicated, that's wild.
---
Xiaoyu's story is more realistic, earning and withdrawing along the way—that's how you keep your money liquid.
---
Discipline is easy to understand but hard to practice, bro.
---
Still daring to use 8x leverage after breaking 10,000? My heart can't take that...
---
If you ask me: even if you've thought it through, you still can't withstand a sudden market crash, haha.
---
Building positions and taking profits in batches sounds simple, but your hands shake when you actually do it.
---
13x return... I'll just watch, that's all I'll say.
---
If I really had that level of discipline, my account wouldn't still be 1000U.

Damn, I need to remember these position management details.
---
Honestly, a 66% win rate doesn’t sound high, but the risk-reward ratio is maxed out.
---
Ken basically got killed by his own mentality in this round, but discipline saved him in the end.
---
This phased profit-taking strategy is really genius, way better than going all-in.
---
The key was not opening any positions in the first seven days; too many people can’t do that.
---
Turned 13x with only a 5% drawdown the whole time? That number is questionable.
---
I really respect Xiaoyu’s withdrawal logic—truly liquid funds.
---
“Position rhythm” looks simple, but it’s brutal to execute.

Damn, seriously? A 66% win rate can still go bust? I feel like my itchy hands opening trades are just here to give away money.

This is real work, not just daydreaming.
Wait a minute, I need to review the part about taking profits in batches again.
Seriously? A 66% win rate is that stable? Why do I feel like my 1000U won’t even survive the second week?
Relying on discipline to turn things around is an old saying, but the data really backs it up.
The guy who withdrew 6500 is the real winner; doubling your account is nothing compared to securing your profits.
Watching the market for seven days without making a move—that takes some serious self-control.
I need to take notes and study this position management part.

Oh, so this is the legendary "discipline equals profit," that's really hardcore.
---
Wait, 66% win rate and 2.2 risk-reward ratio... these numbers are a bit crazy, can they be replicated?
---
Taking profit in batches is really smart, just worried that during execution, greed gets in the way.
---
It looks simple, but honestly, the toughest part is the mentality before breaking 10,000.
---
Xiaoyu's strategy is more practical—earning and withdrawing at the same time, that's real discipline.
---
Honestly, you still need capital as a cushion. Only taking action when the 1000U is almost gone...
---
I just want to know, among these 21 trades, which ones were the most crucial?
---
Everyone can talk about discipline, but when the market actually comes, it's a whole different story.
