Let go of the illusion of "getting rich overnight." Going all-in and gambling with full positions, even if you make money, you can't hold onto it.



My account grew from less than 2000U to nearly 80,000U in three months. The secret isn't luck or insider information; it's earning a steady 3% daily.

But this wasn't something I had from the start. I also experienced the nightmare of liquidation—staying up late watching the charts, chasing rallies and selling dips, using ten or twenty times leverage, and having my account wiped out overnight. That period was truly devastating.

The key turning point was when I changed my strategy. I split my account into two parts: half moved to a cold wallet, serving as an eternal foundation; the other half rolled over profits. Even if I suffered losses, they were only paper losses, and the principal wouldn't be at risk when emotions got out of control.

Since then, I set three ironclad rules for myself. Not suggestions, but musts.

**First, follow the trend, don't go against it.**

Only focus on bullish assets that stand firm on the daily chart, and wait for the 1-hour level to retest the moving averages before entering. No red candles, no volume spikes? Don't buy even at a discount. The so-called "breakout" looks like an opportunity but is actually a trader's poison.

**Second, split profits immediately.**

When a trade earns 3%, split it into three parts: lock one in, let one roll over, and keep one as a risk cushion. The more profit you make, the higher your stop-loss moves up, always protecting the principal. This is how profits generate more profits.

**Third, strictly control trading time.**

Limit yourself to a maximum of two trades per day; when the time is up, close the software. Spend 10 minutes at night reviewing your trades, writing down your greed and impatience, so you won't repeat the same mistakes next time. Discipline is more valuable than anything.

This is how I operate now: retest on pullbacks with decreasing volume to enter, exit when the structure breaks, and follow volume expansion. I never guess the market; I only focus on three things—structure, volume, and discipline.

Don't think 3% is too slow. The power of compound interest lies in stability. The real thing you lose isn't the market, but the impulse to place orders as soon as emotions take over.

What can save you is a set of rules that can be mechanically executed even if emotions explode. The direction is already set; whether you walk it or not depends on you.

It has proven that compound interest is truly underestimated... Stable 3% daily, 40 times in three months, the data is right here.

The three iron laws can indeed survive, but it really tests human nature. Wow, from 2000 to 80,000, it sounds great, but very few people can stick to this pace. Going with the trend is easy to say, but when the market dips, you can't help but buy the dip. That's the difference between a gambler and a trader. One or two trades a day to close the software, I believe you all will still open seven or eight accounts to hedge after reading this, haha. The power of compound interest is real, but I'm just afraid that once you make a little profit, you'll want to leverage and double down. When your mindset collapses, it's back to zero.

Well said, but it's easy to say and hard to do. --- 3% sounds slow, but it's much faster than my previous portfolio recovery, haha. --- Cold wallet is a brilliant move, equivalent to putting a "foolproof lock" on yourself. --- The requirement of two trades per day is too harsh; I need to change my habit of staying up late chasing trades. --- I need to learn how to write daily review journals; it's much cheaper than repeatedly losing money. --- The key is discipline; in plain terms, it's a struggle with oneself. --- From a margin call to 80,000, this transformation is really intense, but who truly persisted? --- I just want to ask, is this 3% real data or just days when I made money are counted? --- It feels like replacing gambler's logic with mechanical execution, which indeed can help you survive longer. --- Following the trend rather than going against it—I've heard this phrase a hundred times, but actually doing it is the real key.

That's right, I just lost control of my emotions. Thinking about a turnaround every day, but ending up going all-in and getting wiped out—that feeling is truly unparalleled. 3% is indeed slow, but it's much faster than my previous daily margin calls...

That's right, you just need to be a bit colder, or you'll really end up harvesting the leek's life. Account management is indeed crucial; separating the principal is very smart. 3% compound interest sounds slow, but over a year... hmm, it's quite impressive.
