Is short-term trading really that difficult? No. The problem often lies in the method.



I have a friend who started with only $5,000 in February and made it to $100,000 in three weeks. No insider information, no touching trash coins, and no all-in bets. Just relying on a pure "Turtle Strategy"—slow, steady, precise.

Today, I will break down this complete method for everyone.

**First Trick: Roll the snowball in batches, don’t go all-in at once**

For the first trade, only use 20% of the principal, which is $1,000, and try with 3x leverage. After making some profit, don’t put all the gains back in. For example, if you earn $1,500, only take $500 to add to your position, and reduce leverage to 2x.

What’s the benefit of this? Profits accumulate, while risks are locked in. The core position remains safe at all times. Compare this to those who go all-in immediately—once the market reverses, their accounts are wiped out. I’ve seen too many tragedies like this.

**Second Trick: Don’t make random moves, just wait for key opportunities**

Last month, BTC spent two full weeks in a sideways range. Guess what most traders were doing? Frequent opening and closing of positions, repeatedly taking losses. As a result, their accounts were bleeding.

But this friend, truly like a turtle—two weeks without opening a single trade. Only when BTC confirmed a breakout of a key level (like 95,000) did he decisively enter.

The simple insight: real profits always come from those few critical market opportunities, not from pointless trades.

**Third Trick: The liquidation line is your lifeline**

Here’s a concrete example. When BTC is at 84,000, he sets the liquidation line below 76,000, leaving over 10% safety margin. Even if the market suddenly plunges, it won’t break the liquidation line.

Many people set their liquidation line too close—one needle and it’s all over. That’s really gambling with your life, not trading.

**Fourth Trick: Take profits immediately**

Once your principal doubles, withdraw half right away. If your account grows from 20,000 to 100,000, just take out 80,000 and leave 20,000 to continue rolling.

Remember this: the numbers in your account look good, but what really matters is whether the money actually hits your bank card.

**Four iron rules that even ordinary people can follow**

- First trade ≤20% of your principal, add more once stable
- Only choose high-probability opportunities; idling is winning
- Leave enough space for the liquidation line
- Regularly withdraw profits; don’t let gains just float in your account

If you truly understand and implement these four rules, maybe the next "ten-bagger" will be you.

The bull market opportunities are approaching. Instead of trading blindly every day, learn this "Turtle Strategy"—steady and sure, accumulating small wins into big wins. Opportunities are never lacking; what’s missing is patience and discipline.

Everyone talks about it, but how many actually manage to stick with the 20% first order?

Sounds good, but how many people can actually withdraw?

5,000 to 100,000 in three weeks? Friend, this data is outrageous, it feels like a fairy tale.

Sounds good, but I still think most people simply can't stick to this system.
