Friends holding several thousand USDT, are you also always dreaming of doubling your money? Hold on a moment and listen to these pitfalls.
The reality is often either being smashed by the market directly or being completely distorted by emotions, ultimately losing even the principal.
A friend once asked me, how can 3000U multiply several times? I took a glance and understood immediately—it's not a lack of methods, just pure impatience. The words I told him then, I now share with you: "It's not that there are no opportunities, the problem is you always act recklessly when there are no opportunities." When the market is stable, you rush in; when it fluctuates, you panic; tossing around, your account ends up as an empty shell.
I have walked this path myself. My over 20,000 USDT was forced down to less than a hundred dollars through relentless trading—those periods of wild surges and crashes were almost life-threatening. Eventually, I had enough and set a rule for myself—no more than two trades per week, and I strictly stick to it.
For the first trade, I waited many days until I found a key retracement point before entering with a small position. I held onto that trade tightly and made over a thousand dollars in a few hours. At that moment, I realized: the core of making money isn’t about doing more, but about waiting for the right moment.
After that, I only watch the markets I understand. If I can't see through it? Don’t touch it. If I’m not confident? Don’t touch it. When my mind is heated? That’s when I should close my eyes.
As my account gradually stabilized, the growth rate actually accelerated. Not because my skills improved, but because I was no longer driven by the market’s rhythm. You start controlling your trading pace instead of being controlled by it.
Back to the question about 3000U. My advice is straightforward: don’t rush. Trade less, trade precisely, and stick to discipline—these are more effective than any secret trick.
Market waves will always come, but your principal is only this much. Keep your discipline, and opportunities will naturally stay.

Really? Dropping over 20,000 into the hundred-dollar range just made me break apart. Isn't this exactly a reflection of my situation last year? Haha
The discipline of making two trades a week is spot on. Bro, I'm at the same frequency now, and I feel my mindset has changed completely.
If you don't understand, just don't touch it. That sentence hit home. I still have to keep working on myself.

Alright, alright, another motivational article. It sounds really right, but it's extremely difficult to actually do. I'm just asking, how many people can truly stick to two transactions a week?

Honestly, when I saw the part where twenty thousand turned into a hundred bucks, I couldn't help but gasp haha

Hey, I really feel for the part where two million turns into a hundred thousand—that's a true test of faith.
Less trading is really the way to go. I'm currently following this approach too; I've actually made more than before by not messing around.
The key is mindset. Don't always think about turning things around quickly, or you'll be close to liquidation.
Waiting for the right opportunity is more valuable than anything, but unfortunately, most people can't wait those three or five days.

Honestly, I'm just afraid of seeing people ask "how to double quickly," because that's basically a trap.
I used to be the same way—playing with an account from over 20,000 down to less than a hundred before I realized— the more frequently you trade, the faster you die. Now I only make two trades a week, and I actually live longer.
Don't listen to those "secret tips"; sticking to your plan is the hardest lesson.

Really, I felt a bit painful watching the 20,000 turn into 100, but I accept it. Serves me right.

Really, this paragraph hits home. I also come from a background of liquidation, and only now do I understand what it means to be greedy and insatiable, like a snake swallowing an elephant.

Really, I was too impatient at the time, and ended up making more than ten transactions back and forth within a week. Looking back now, I feel terrified.

Really? Making two trades a week is a brilliant move, and I'm trying it now.
You're right, you can't rush things; you can't eat hot tofu with a hurried heart, and the account is gone just like that.
Turning over more than twenty thousand to a hundred? Man, that's some tough experience, but it also makes you more aware.
If you can't see through it, don't touch it. I need to keep this in mind; I always get itchy hands.
Waiting for better comparisons to make more money—that really hit home for me.

Really, I get goosebumps just thinking about throwing over twenty thousand into a hundred bucks. That's why I can now resist the urge to act impulsively.
