I have a few thousand USDT in hand, but I keep thinking about doubling it in one shot. Today, I want to have an honest and heartfelt talk with everyone about this issue.
Carefully observe those around you who trade, and the outcomes are usually twofold—either they get dizzy from the rapid rise and fall of the market, or they are hijacked by their own emotions, ultimately unable to protect even their principal.
A friend once asked me, "How can I operate with 3000 USDT to multiply it several times?" I immediately saw that what he lacked was not a methodology, but a very impatient heart. I straightforwardly said, "It's not that you have no chance, but that you're messing around at the wrong times." When the market is calm, you rush in; when it fluctuates, you panic. Repeatedly messing around until your account is left with nothing but a shell.
I've experienced it myself—over 20,000 USDT was driven down to less than a hundred. That period was truly a roller coaster of wild surges and crashes, to the point of breaking down. Finally, I decided to set a rule for myself: only two trades per week, and no more than that.
For the first trade, I waited a long time, then entered lightly at a key retracement point, and in a few hours, earned over 1,000 USDT. It was at that moment I realized—making money is never about frequent operations, but about waiting for the right opportunity.
After that, I changed my approach: only participate in markets I understand. If I don’t understand it, I give up. If I’m not confident, I give up. When emotions are out of control, I even give up.
As my account gradually stabilized, it started to grow. Not because I became much stronger, but because I finally stopped being led by the market.
So if you ask how to operate with 3000 USDT, I can only say one thing: don’t be anxious. Reduce operations, choose carefully, and stick to your bottom line. These are more effective than any so-called secret tricks.
Market opportunities will always come around, but your principal is only this much. Protect yourself well, wait for the real opportunity, and it will naturally appear.

That really hits home; I'm the kind of person whose account is just a shell.

20,000 to reach 100... Bro, this is a painful lesson.

Honestly, rather than dreaming of doubling my investment, I'm more afraid of myself starting to trade frequently again.

Really, the hardest part of trading is controlling that restless heart of yours.
---
Turning twenty thousand into a hundred thousand—this part is so true, I can totally relate.
---
If you don't understand the market trends, just give up. It's easy to say but hard to do, but it really is the only way to survive.
---
So, retail investors' turnaround has never relied on being smart, but on enduring a little more than others.
---
Why do I keep repeatedly stepping into the same traps? I need to learn more about this lesson of "holding the bottom line."

Haha, you're right. I used to mess around with myself like that too.
