Recently, a fan reached out to me with a pitiful account—starting with 5000U, he was down to only 800U, and the screen was filled with losing positions. He even joked that 'if I keep losing like this, I'll have to uninstall the software and leave.'

But who would have thought, three months later he sent a message saying 'totally convinced', because by following my 'discipline strategy', he started with 1000U and not only recovered his losses but also made it to 18,000U. Now, his daily earnings stabilize at 200-400U, and he no longer has to watch the market anxiously like before.

In fact, this is the compounding secret that retail investors should have: not relying on luck to gamble on the market, but relying on strict discipline to ensure stable profits. Today, I will break down this method for you; ordinary people can follow along and gradually let their accounts 'snowball'.

First rule, position size is like a Russian doll; you have to survive to compound.

I had him break down his 2000U principal into 'Russian doll-style positions': never open a single position exceeding 20%, which means entering with a maximum of 400U.

The benefits of doing this are obvious—when you misjudge the direction, the remaining 80% of your funds can be used to average down the cost, so you won't be stuck in a full position and miss the chance to recover; when you correctly predict the market, wait until the profit reaches your expectation, then use the profits to increase your position and expand your gains, keeping the principal safe all the time.

He later reflected to me: 'I used to think that liquidation was due to the market being hostile, but now I understand that liquidation isn’t scary; what's scary is rushing into a big bet without any bullets left to turn things around.'

'This position method makes me feel particularly stable; even if a position incurs a loss, I know there's still a chance to recover.' Once, he took a short position on SOL, initially he was wrong and lost 50U, but after averaging down with the remaining funds, the market reversed, and he not only broke even but also made 120U.

Second rule, only eat trends; avoid choppy markets even if they are offered for free.

I set a strict rule with him: only trade the trends of BTC and ETH, and absolutely avoid choppy markets. How do we determine this? Look for upward trends on the daily chart, then switch to the 4-hour and 1-hour periods to find 'resonance signals'—you must meet the three conditions: the moving averages are in a bullish arrangement, volume breaks through previous highs, and the price retraces without breaking key support before entering a position.

Why not trade in choppy markets? Because in a sideways range, the transaction fees are higher than the profits, and retail investors will just 'earn the spread but not cover the fees', ultimately exhausting their principal.

Once, ETH traded sideways in the 1800-1850U range for a week, and someone in the community was sharing 'short-term profits' every day. He held back and didn't move, and later when ETH broke above 1850U and formed a trend, he entered and made 150U on a single trade, more than those who struggled in the choppy market.

Third rule, a 2% fluctuation is an ATM; don’t complain about it being slow.

Many retail investors always feel that 'earning 2% is too little, and they want to wait for a big trend to double their money', but in reality, small fluctuations accumulate into a lot, which is the key to compounding. Just like when ETH broke through 1900U, retraced to 1880U to confirm support, I instructed him to place an order at 1885U with a 500U position using 3x leverage, only capturing a 2% fluctuation, resulting in a 30U profit.

At first, he thought 'this amount of money isn't worth looking at', but after sticking to making 3-4 'stable trades' a day, he realized he could earn 90-120U in a single day; in a month, that amounts to 2700-3600U, and after compounding for three months, his principal unknowingly doubled.

He later told me: 'I used to always think about catching the big trends, but ended up losing more. Now I understand, small fluctuations may be slow, but they are the most stable 'ATM' for retail investors.'

Fourth rule, taking profits is more important than cutting losses; greed only leads to greater losses.

I repeatedly emphasized to him: when the profit-taking target is reached, you must exit, even if it rises another 10% afterwards, it doesn't belong to you. At first, he couldn't help but be greedy. Once, when trading a BTC long position, he set a profit-taking target of 10%, and when the time came, he hesitated, thinking 'let's wait a bit longer, maybe I can make 15%'. As a result, the market suddenly retraced, and he ended up making only 5%, losing half of his profit.

After that incident, he thoroughly learned the lesson and strictly followed the profit-taking rules. Now he says with a smile: 'The market won't pay for greed; profit-taking should be done promptly. Even if it rises later, I won't regret it. A good night's sleep is worth more than anything.'

Once, he took a long position on ADA and decisively closed it at the profit-taking point. Half an hour later, the market indeed retraced, and he was grateful that 'thank goodness I didn’t get greedy for that little profit.'

In summary, making 200-400U a day from 2000U really doesn't require talent; it just requires ingraining 'discipline' into your bones: endure the loneliness of a choppy market, don't blindly follow the crowd; capture small fluctuations in trends according to the rules, and don't be greedy for big trends; when taking profits, don't hesitate, and don't be tempted by the thought of 'just a bit more'. If you do these, money will flow steadily into your account like tap water.

Now that brother has achieved 'trading while traveling' because this system monitors the market and controls risks for him, so he no longer needs to stay up late until his eyes are red.
