From 3000U to 100,000, not relying on luck, but on execution

I focus on account growth and never expect a skyrocketing market.

The phase where real growth can happen is actually the most difficult phase of consolidation.

In June of this year, during a sideways market, I grew a small account from 3000U to 100,000U.

I didn't hit any big profits all at once, and I didn't gamble on any hot trends, all thanks to three points:

First, do not blindly follow the direction, prepare for both possibilities.

During that time, ETH had a lot of sideways spikes, so I directly placed dual conditional orders:

If it goes up, I eat the breakout; if it goes down, I catch the rebound.

No need to guess the direction, as long as the structure is established, it will execute automatically.

The key is to control position size —

Each test trade only used 300U, with stop-loss set, once the market moved in my favor, I would move the stop-loss to break even to lock in the risk.

Second, roll the position in segments, not all at once.

When the account grew from 3000 to 5000, I directly withdrew 2000, leaving 3000 to continue trading.

I divided this 3000 into three parts, adding positions in batches as the market rose.

For example, there was a time I traded SOL, entering at 180, adding a position as it went up a bit, adding again as it rose, and finally profiting at 195.

But even if I filled my position, I only used a total of 50% of the funds, and the stop-loss was always above the break-even point.

Third, keep some position for defense, don't be greedy for a full position.

I generally don't go into details about this position,

but it indeed helped me recover three times my profit during a sharp drop in BTC one night.

To put it simply, it’s just about keeping a small amount of liquidity to cope with extreme volatility.

Many people say there are no opportunities now, but the problem is never about the opportunity, it’s about whether your method is in place: going all in right away, blowing up with a shake; chasing when bullish, cutting losses when bearish; not taking profits, regretting during a pullback.

You need to understand that whether an account can grow big doesn’t depend on how much you make on one trade, but on whether you can maintain a steady rhythm.

Don’t focus on how the market moves, first get your own operations in order.

If you stabilize yourself, the market may provide you with returns.
