There's a common realization in the crypto world—many people dream of getting rich overnight, but actually achieving steady doubling is more difficult and more realistic than those extreme market riches dreams.



I know a trader who turned $5,000 into $130,000 in three months. Honestly, there’s no "black technology" behind this; it boils down to two things: focus and compound interest.

His initial approach was no different from most—seeing others make money and wanting to follow suit, getting itchy whenever the market moves. As a result, he lost quite a bit before waking up. Later, he realized that truly successful traders are never led by the market; they have their own rhythm. Knowing when to enter and when to exit, and most importantly, never trying to predict price movements.

An effective strategy is actually very simple: position sizing combined with cycle repetition.

For example, with $100,000, split it into five or six parts. Each time, only use one part for spot trading, avoiding chasing highs or full positions. When the market drops 10%, add to the position to lower the average cost; when it rises 10%, take some profits and lock in gains. This cycle repeats daily—no chasing highs, no cutting losses prematurely, no gambling on market direction. It may seem less "aggressive," but this discipline steadily grows the account, and the power of compound interest becomes more evident.

Some might think this is too slow. But you have to understand—this method accelerates the longer you stick with it. Starting with $1,000, turning into $13,000 in three months, the power of compounding is truly astonishing.

While other traders are repeatedly shaken out, caught in deep traps, or even wiped out, you can maintain your rhythm and enjoy the "wealth acceleration" of compounded growth. This is not just a trading skill but also a mindset. Even if the market suddenly crashes, as long as your position allocation is reasonable, you can stay calm and continue operating.

Reflecting on my own experience, I also gradually grew my principal using this method. Opportunities in the crypto market are never lacking; what’s missing is whether you can find your own rhythm and stick to it. That’s the key to success or failure.

The market never lacks opportunities; what’s lacking is execution. Whether you can find a rhythm that suits you and persist long-term without being disturbed by external noise—that’s the real test.

Remember: steady progress is always more effective than reckless rushing.

That's right, I only understood this after being cut. The key is really to stay disciplined and not be driven by market sentiment.

Basically, it's a difference in mindset and execution ability; 90% of people fail because of greed.

That's right, mindset is the biggest enemy, and few people can stick to this rhythm. --- Split position cycling sounds simple, but how many actually follow through? Most people still can't break the habit of chasing highs and selling lows. --- The power of compound interest is indeed terrifying, but I'm afraid that if your mentality collapses halfway, you'll start gambling on the market again. --- I'm also using this trading method, the key is not to be disturbed by market fluctuations. Steady snowballing is the way to go. --- Exactly, not chasing overnight riches, but living longer and better. These extreme dreams in the crypto world mostly turn into stories in the end. --- Honestly, those who can resist chasing highs have already won half in terms of psychological resilience. --- The combination of split positions and cycling may sound unoriginal, but no one truly persists, and in the end, they get washed out. --- Seemingly boring operations actually test human nature the most. Most people can't endure for so long. --- That's why most traders end up losing money; without discipline, everything else is pointless. --- I completely agree, execution is the most scarce resource, not how awesome the strategy is.

It sounds reasonable, but I still think this theory tests human nature too much in real trading. The promised position-splitting discipline—who can resist when a surge comes?

That's right, it really is like that. I used to be envious when I saw others making money, but as a result, I kept chasing gains and selling at losses, which wiped out my principal. Now I use the method of position sizing and looping, although it doesn't seem as "exciting," my account is indeed steadily growing, and I feel much more at ease.

Basically, it's about self-discipline. Most people can't keep up with this pace at all. I've also tried to split my positions, but it's too hard to stick with... I always want to go all in. 130,000 is indeed outrageous, but I believe in this steady approach.

That's right, that's how I play. Once my mindset collapses, everything is pointless.
