I have seen too many people enter the crypto world with $1000 in hand, their eyes burning with the fire of "getting rich tonight". As a result, they lose steam in just three days, and within a week, their accounts are left with only a few cents.

What warmth is there in this market? On its list of rewards, it is always written "those who follow the rules" and "those who can wait".

Don’t be superstitious about some "magic trades" turning $1000 into a mountain of gold; what truly works is the discipline ingrained in you. My own approach is very straightforward: first stabilize your footing, then think about making money.

When starting out, position size is your life. A single trade should be no more than $300-500; even if you feel like you have the magic touch, as long as your account hasn’t exceeded $5000, you must not dive into heavy positions. If you can’t maintain your position size, no amount of skill can save you from a moment of impulsiveness.

In trading, frequency must be controlled. Experienced traders know that if you don’t have at least 80% confidence in a market move, it’s better to miss out than to jump in recklessly. One or two trades a day are sufficient; I even set aside one day a week to remain flat — not to make money, but to keep my rhythm intact. The market is always there, but your calmness can easily be worn away by frequent trading.

The term stop-loss must be welded into your trading system. For a $300 trade, if you lose $15, cut it decisively; don’t get emotionally attached to the market. Even if you’re in profit, you can’t let go of it carelessly; you need to move your stop-loss closely. Once profits widen, lock in your costs securely.

To climb from $1000 to $3000, I only focus on small fluctuations of 20-50 points, not daydreaming about "hundredfold coins". Only when my capital is substantial will I leave 30% of my position for big trends. Moreover, each time I double my investment, I directly withdraw 30% of the profit and transfer it to stablecoins or a cold wallet — the numbers in the market are all ephemeral; what’s real is cash in hand.

The core of rolling positions is time compounding, not staying up late gambling for riches. Give yourself 60 days to stabilize at three times your investment, then aim for five or eight times. If you can strictly adhere to this set of rules for three months, you will find that doubling your money is just a byproduct; what you truly earn is the ability to navigate the market like a professional trader.

People often ask me why I can remain stable while they swing between huge gains and massive losses? The answer is simple — I don’t gamble on luck; I only believe in execution. This market always rewards those who are disciplined.
