Many traders have asked me one question: How can I quickly grow my funds in a short period? Is there some mysterious formula behind it?

My answer might be disappointing—there's no secret weapon. The real difference lies in my decision to eliminate emotional trading and establish a systematic trading framework. While most people chase highs and sell lows, frequently getting caught in positions, I do the opposite: slow down, and use discipline to achieve a stable growth curve.

**The essence of trading is actually very simple**

At first, I was also confused by various complex indicators, thinking that making money required advanced techniques or insider information. Later, I realized that the most effective methods are often the simplest.

My framework has only two rules: set a profit target of 8-15% for each trade, and exit decisively when reached; when adding to a position, prioritize ensuring the safety of the principal, so that market fluctuations won't disrupt my rules.

Does this sound too basic? Yes. But execution is the key. I stick to only 1-2 trades per day, strictly follow the plan, and never let short-term volatility dictate my actions. Traders following this logic have reported: some doubled their funds in a week, others turned small capital into five figures in ten days. This is not luck; it’s the power of rules.

**You must survive to make money—The ironclad rule of position management**

The primary task for survival in the crypto market is controlling the downside risk of each trade. I adhere to the "2% rule": the maximum loss on any single trade must not exceed 2% of the total account funds.

The specific approach is to pre-mark the stop-loss point and then work backward to determine a reasonable entry position based on that. Sounds mechanical? It is indeed mechanical. But this mechanical approach ensures you won't get hurt badly when you make mistakes. A single margin call might require ten correct trades to recover—such an equation is simply not worth it.

The difference is here: most people ignore risk management when their funds are ample, thinking they are lucky; but once volatility hits, their accounts can collapse instantly. Traders who build discipline, even with modest single-trade gains, can steadily accumulate wealth over the long term.

The market is always there, and opportunities are always present. The key is to survive until that moment.
