Many people believe that doubling small funds is a matter of luck, but when I turned a $5,000 account into $400,000 in 17 months, there was a rigorous system supporting it. This is not a myth of getting rich quickly, but a deep practice concerning position management, market recognition, and mindset control.

When I started, I was no longer a novice. I divided my $5,000 capital into five parts, using only $1,000 as the initial position for each trade. I set strict rules for myself: the maximum daily drawdown should not exceed 3%, and any single loss must be strictly controlled within $500. Even if there were consecutive stop losses, I had to ensure the account survived.

I only entered trades at trend resonance points. Resonance refers to the alignment of the 4-hour and daily trend, with price confirmation at critical levels. During ETH's breakout trend, I pre-drew the $1,850 support line and the $2,000 resistance zone, and only entered on the right side after a breakout above $2,030, ultimately achieving a gain of 380 points on my first target position. Don't understand the market? I'd rather miss out.

Position rolling is the core art. When the first position's profit reaches twice the stop-loss amount, I will move the stop-loss to the cost price and use profits to increase my position. During a BTC swing last year, I gradually expanded my initial $5,000 position to a $14,000 risk exposure through three layered additions, ultimately capturing the entire trend wave, with a single profit exceeding $22,000.

Risk control is the lifeblood of growing an account. Once the account reached $20,000, I lowered the maximum loss limit to 2.5% of total capital; upon reaching $100,000, I further compressed it to 2%. At the same time, I enforced a withdrawal of 20% of the profit portion every week, relieving psychological pressure and avoiding revenge trading.

The greatest test of a person is self-discipline after a winning streak. When the account surged to $200,000, I experienced a consecutive drawdown of 14% due to frequent trading. Later, I forced myself to take a three-day break to re-examine the system: reducing trading frequency and only taking decisive opportunities with a risk-reward ratio exceeding 3:1, quickly returning to a steady growth trajectory.

Looking back now, the true core of rolling positions is not technology, but human management—having the courage to let profits run in trends while also being able to control hands in a volatile market; being calm when withdrawing profits after earning, and maintaining discipline during drawdowns. $400,000 is not the end, but the inevitable result after system stability.

Real significant gains come from a few correct decisions + strict position control, rather than frequent operations.

In the past, I was stumbling in the dark alone, now the light is in my hands.
