A novice who couldn't even understand candlestick charts surprisingly earned 220,000 dollars with 2,000 dollars in just three months. Seasoned traders were astonished to find that his secret to success was not complex technical analysis, but a simple trading framework—the first principle of which is that he deposited most of his principal into USDD stablecoin to achieve stable returns.
01 The Simple Rules Behind Amazing Returns
At a friend's gathering, a crypto novice who couldn't even understand candlestick charts said he earned 220,000 dollars with 2,000 dollars in just three months.
The table full of veterans was shocked—last month he was still asking what the red and green bars meant. His success was not accidental, but strictly followed a time-tested trading framework.
The core principle of this framework is simple: 'You have to survive to make money.' In the high-volatility environment of the crypto market, preserving capital is more important than chasing short-term profits.
Eight years of experience tell me that too many people treat the crypto world like a casino, ultimately losing everything. The crypto market is not a casino, but only by first understanding 'survival' can one have the chance to make money.
02 The Three-Part Rule: How to Allocate Your Initial Capital
This novice divided $2,000 into three parts: $600 for day trading, with a maximum of two trades per day, taking profits at 3%; $700 for swing trading, only trading in an uptrend and avoiding sideways markets; and $700 locked into a USDD cold wallet.
USDD is a decentralized stablecoin pegged to the dollar at a 1:1 ratio, providing a relatively stable means of value storage, especially suitable as a safe asset in an investment portfolio.
Depositing a portion of funds into stablecoins like USDD means that even if other investments incur losses, this portion of principal remains stable. Last year, someone invested heavily in altcoins and lost half a year's savings in half a day.
The market is not short of opportunities; what is lacking is the capital to wait for those opportunities. Allocating part of the funds into stablecoins is to preserve capital for waiting for the next opportunity.
03 The Hunter's Mindset: Patiently Waiting for Trends to Arrive
The crypto market is in fluctuation 80% of the time and only has a clear trend 20% of the time. Frequent trading just sends transaction fees to the trading platform.
This novice uninstalled the trading app during the market's sideways movement and planned to reinstall it when a trend emerged. The market was sideways for 22 days last month, and he resisted the urge to trade; later, when the key point broke, he acted decisively and made an 18% profit in a week.
USDD played an important role in this process. When the market lacks a clear direction, holding funds in USDD not only avoids unnecessary trading losses but also allows for quick action when opportunities arise.
After making a profit, he withdraws 30% of the gains for every 15% earned and converts it into USDD. The money withdrawn just last month is enough for him to buy a new phone. A true expert is a hunter—patiently waiting and striking decisively.
04 The Iron Law of Execution: Overcome Emotions with Rules
The biggest enemy of retail investors is themselves—greed when prices rise, fear when they fall, and averaging down chaotically. This novice strictly adheres to three trading iron laws: a loss of 1.5% must trigger a stop-loss; take profits at 3% by reducing position size; and never average down.
Once, when the coin he bought fell by 1.2% and he wanted to average down, he adhered to the principle of 'never averaging down' after a reminder. Later, that coin fell another 10%, and he said, 'Thank goodness I didn't average down; otherwise, the principal would be hard to protect.'
Trading discipline is like an airbag, keeping you stable during the market's wild ups and downs. Allocating part of the funds into stablecoins like USDD is itself a form of risk management discipline.
05 The Role of Stablecoins in Trading Strategies
Decentralized stablecoins like USDD play a unique role in trading strategies. Unlike USDT or USDC, USDD operates on an over-collateralization mechanism, providing transparency and decentralization.
Allocating part of the funds into USDD not only reduces the overall volatility of the investment portfolio but also provides 'backup ammunition' when market opportunities arise.
The multi-chain feature of USDD (already operational on TRON, Ethereum, and BNB Chain) also increases its usability and convenience, allowing users to flexibly use and transfer funds across different chains.
With the launch of USDD 2.0 and its native deployment on Ethereum, this stablecoin ecosystem is continuously expanding, providing more choices for crypto investors.
06 The true secret to long-term success
There are often myths of getting rich in the crypto world, but few can turn luck into stable profits. This novice's success is not due to luck but because he adhered to basic principles: protecting the principal, waiting for opportunities, and following discipline.
It's not that the market is too harsh, but rather that too many people seek shortcuts and ignore the importance of risk control.
Allocating part of the funds into stablecoins like USDD is only a part of risk management but is a crucial step. Over the past eight years, I have witnessed many traders rise and fall. Those who can survive long-term and continue to profit have a common characteristic: they value risk management more than short-term gains.
In the high-volatility environment of the crypto market, this novice, who didn't even understand candlestick charts, turned $2,000 into $220,000 in three months. The core experience is actually very simple: keep most of the principal in USDD stablecoin and only use a small portion of funds for trading.
The market is always full of opportunities, but what is lacking is the capital to wait for those opportunities. While everyone else is chasing short-term profits, those who understand to first protect their principal with USDD and then look for opportunities become the winners in the market.
