Some time ago, a dedicated fan did something truly eye-catching — he turned a small account of 3,700 USDT into 20,400 USDT within 31 days. The key is, he didn’t chase any magical indicators; he simply followed a trading framework I summarized and executed it. Today, I’ll reiterate this system to ensure everyone can understand, learn, and implement it effectively.



**Rule 1: Discipline at the start — don’t think you can get rich overnight**

Small accounts are most vulnerable to greed. My fan’s approach was to divide the principal into 100 parts, so each part is 37 USDT. The first trade is 37 USDT. Sounds small, right? But this is the guarantee for survival.

How to set stop-loss? Multiply the entry price by 0.992 — that’s your bottom line, fixed and unwavering. For adding positions? Reserve three slots, spacing based on the recent two-week volatility. Many people place heavy bets on the first trade, which disrupts the rhythm, making it hard to recover later.

**Rule 2: Only increase positions during extreme market conditions — don’t add randomly**

Check the 4-hour ATR indicator daily. When volatility exceeds twice the high of the past 60 days, that’s an “abnormal period” — a real opportunity to add positions. At this point, the small ant becomes a “beast”: the initial 37 USDT, when floating profits exceed 50%, adds another 74 USDT. If it breaks previous highs, add up to around 240 USDT (about 26% of total position).

But don’t add positions casually for the third time. Two conditions must be met simultaneously: the top ten on-chain addresses’ holdings must be below 45%, and the 24-hour funding rate must shift from positive to negative. Missing either means don’t rush in — better to stay out and wait. Some hot coins seem full of opportunities, but if they don’t meet these two conditions, don’t force it.

**Rule 3: Take profits when they arrive — don’t hold out for every last cent**

When profits reach 300%, the first step is to withdraw the principal plus half of the profits. How to manage the remaining position? Enable “dynamic take-profit mode”: for every 10% increase in price, raise the stop-loss line by 7%. This way, you follow the trend but prevent profits from slipping away.

Another detail: between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m., always place a market take-profit order. Don’t wait or watch — let the system execute automatically. Why so rigid? Because data shows — over the past two years, most flash crashes in crypto happened during this time window, with a probability over four times higher than other periods. Many coins have experienced sudden dives at this time. Instead of betting on quick reactions, let the rules guard your position.

**Remember these three core principles**

Start as a cautious participant, then aim to amplify gains; without extreme market signals, don’t increase your position; when profits hit the target, take the money and run.

Surviving and making money is the top priority. That fan used just three months to grow his account from a few thousand to over a hundred thousand, all thanks to disciplined execution. If you follow this approach, even with a small capital, you can gradually grow your account.

I’ve seen too many people fail because they insist on “making it all back” and over-leveraging. One fan was liquidated seven times; when his account dropped to 2,000 USDT, he finally woke up. Later, by controlling position sizes, timing entries precisely, and strictly following the rules, he grew his account to over 70,000 USDT in three months. The difference lies in “not being greedy” and “being able to stick to it.”

In crypto, those who can stand firm do three things: strictly control individual trade sizes, accurately time the market, and execute trading rules 100%. The market is full of intense moves; what’s missing are those who can survive long enough to seize the opportunities when they come.

It sounds like even small accounts can turn around, and the key really is discipline, not some black magic. Wait, automatic take-profit orders from 1 to 3 a.m., this detail is excellent, it seems to hit the soft spot of the crypto circle. This framework, to put it simply, is the enemy of greed; I need to try it. It's the same old argument of "living long to make money," but this time it’s supported by actual numbers, feeling different. From 3700 to 20400, 31 days, brother, how steady must your mindset be to not waver?

Well... that's a good point, the key is just to stay alive. It's that same set of position management strategies; I just want to know how long it can actually be sustained. Not gambling on the midnight to 3 AM window is okay, but the flash crash was really intense.

To be honest, I didn't think of the detail of raising the stop-loss line by 7% earlier. It seems to be all about discipline, nothing fancy. Placing a market order to take profit between 1:00 and 3:00 is indeed a wild strategy to prevent flash crashes.

I've heard the saying that making money through discipline many times, but few can really stick to it. Just staying alive is already winning more than half the battle; greed at that moment should be your death sentence. The detail of automatically taking profits between 1 and 3 a.m. is excellent—no chance for yourself to react. From 3700 to 20,000, honestly, it just means not making any reckless moves; the difficulty lies right there.
