At the beginning of last year, I entered the market with $1,000, and now my account sits at $300,000. I'm not some genius trader—I just fully grasped the concept of "compounding through rolling positions."



To put it simply, the core principles are three words: slow, steady, ruthless.

My strategy is very simple—each time I only use 20-30% of my principal as my base position. If I profit, I increase my position; if I lose, I instantly admit defeat and cut my losses. Doesn’t sound very technical? But most people fail because they go "all in" or refuse to stop losses.

When picking coins, I only look at three indicators: low retracement, upward trend, and active capital inflow into altcoins. With a $1,000 principal, I start by testing the waters with a $200-300 base position. Price up 10%? Add 20% to the position. Up another 10%? Add another 20%. Third wave, up another 10%? Go heavy with a 40% position. If I lose more than 3-5%, I immediately close out—protecting principal is everything.

The first round, I rolled $1,000 up to $2,000, pulled out my initial capital, and used the profits for the next round. Second round rolled up to $5,000, third round broke $10,000. Just kept compounding like this, and in half a year, I stacked up to $300,000.

A lot of people ask how long I watch the charts every day. Honestly, I spend 95% of my time waiting for opportunities, and only 5% going all-in when it’s time to act. Patience and discipline work better than any technical indicator.

The essence of rolling positions is to let profits run while strictly controlling risk. Don’t get greedy with small capital; roll up slowly. Stick to your stop-losses and manage your positions well. When you’re winning, dare to add to your position and let compounding take off. In this crypto market, it’s not about who runs the fastest, but who survives the longest.

Damn, this is what it really means to make money for a living, not like those people who just brag about their trades every day.

I've learned this ruthless approach to stop-loss, but my hands tend to shake and I easily press the wrong button.

Stop-loss really is a lifesaver. I didn’t believe it before, but now I do. This is the power of compounding—1,000U can really turn into 300,000. Those who go all-in really need to reflect on their actions. The core is not being greedy. Sounds simple, but it’s extremely difficult to do. Waiting for opportunities is even more exhausting than trading. That really hits home. Slowly compounding is steady; you can’t rush it. Capital management is always the top priority; technical indicators are just fluff. Cut losses at 3-5%—I need to learn that discipline. Longevity is king in the crypto world. That’s so true. Buying in with funds after a pullback at low levels—that combo really works. Only use 20-30% of your principal; the rest is your safety net.

Yeah, this logic is spot on, but execution is hell. Most people can't even make it to the third wave.
