Many people are obsessed with chasing the dream of 100x coins, but few have truly calculated the math behind it. Here's a set of seemingly ordinary yet life-changing data: a stable daily compound interest of 3%, which can yield 8.6 times the return in just 90 days. This is not some mystical story, nor is it luck. It is the pure power of mathematics playing out in the crypto market.



I started with a principal of 2000U, and in three months, I reached nearly 80,000U. This result wasn't because I predicted a coin's tenfold rally accurately, but because I strictly followed the 3% rule every day. The most stable printing press in the crypto market has never been about chasing the next mythic coin, but about the tiny, silent growth you maintain every day.

At this point, many will ask: why are most traders still constantly getting liquidated? I used to be that kind of person—frequently liquidated, with my account balance reset again and again. The turning point came from a simple yet powerful change: I split my account into two halves. One half is locked in a cold wallet as a permanent capital moat, never to be touched. The other half is used for rolling profits; even if I make a mistake, I only lose the current floating gains, while the principal remains intact. This mindset completely changed my understanding of risk.

Based on this core idea, I summarized a three-step discipline framework. This framework has been repeatedly validated in real trading over the past three months, successfully ending my previous chaotic and reckless operations.

The first step is to follow the trend and avoid bottom-fishing. This means I only participate in daily-level bullish targets and resolutely do not bottom-fish during major dips. The entry signal is simple: wait for the 1-hour EXPMA12 to retest, which is the right time to enter. If the price shows a pin bar that doesn't turn red, I absolutely do not add to my position, and may even consider reducing it. This principle sounds passive, but it effectively prevents me from being trapped at high levels.

The second step is profit-sharing and rolling profits. Whenever the account grows by 3%, I immediately split the profit into three parts: one part is withdrawn for safety, one part continues to roll and amplify, and one part is locked as risk insurance. The benefit of this approach is that with each rolling cycle, my stop-loss level gradually moves upward. Risks are unknowingly locked in, while profits keep accumulating.

The third step is to shut down and review at sunset. This rule is simple but the hardest to implement: only make up to two trades per day, and close the trading software at the designated time. But before sleeping each night, I spend 10 minutes writing in my mistake journal, recording the pitfalls I’ve stepped into. I never step into the same mistake twice. This habit may seem trivial, but it subtly cultivates my trading discipline.

Recent real trading records can well verify the effectiveness of this logic. When ETH retraced to previous highs, I observed a volume decrease of 30%, which was a signal to enter. Within a 12-hour cycle, I gained 3.8%. When ARB hit the lower boundary of a triangle pattern, I took a position and made 2.9%. After BNB broke out with increased volume, I chose to roll and eventually doubled my gains.

All these results do not come from some brilliant market prediction ability, but purely from structural analysis, volume confirmation, and disciplined execution. There are countless people predicting the market, but those who truly make money are often those who strictly follow their own rules.

Mathematics speaks. A daily 3% compound interest may seem small, but over 120 trading days, it can grow 34 times. This number is more convincing than those gambling-like hundredfold miracle trades. It tells us that the winning path for ordinary people is not about chasing lottery-style overnight riches, but about this slow, disciplined, steady growth.

Most people's losses are not because they chose the wrong market, but because of irrational late-night operations and fighting their greed. The more eager to turn things around, the easier it is to get liquidated. What is lacking is never effort, but a constantly lit indicator—a set of action guidelines that can guide you.

When this light is on, follow its rhythm and act accordingly. You will find that the market waits for no one, and neither does liquidation. Those seemingly complex markets can be conquered with the simplest rules.

Sounds good, but is 3% daily really stable? I still can't resist adding more positions late at night haha

Basically, it's about拼自律 (self-discipline). But I feel like many people listen to this stuff, yet few actually do it.

Sounds good, but can you really consistently earn 3% daily? I feel like this is just storytelling.

3% daily sounds simple, but few people can actually do it. The problem is, who can resist the temptation to chase those five or ten times opportunities? --- Sounds good, but in practice, could it be a hundred times harder than writing it out? --- The cold wallet trick is indeed brilliant, equivalent to putting a forced savings lock on yourself. --- Another story of earning 3% daily... but with the data in front of us, 34 times in 120 days is indeed impressive. --- The key is discipline in execution, easy to say but hard to do. I just can't resist playing with trading software late at night. --- Two thousand yuan in three months becomes eighty thousand? If that were true, I would have been financially free long ago. --- I can understand the logic of this framework, but what if the market doesn't cooperate? --- The mistake notebook trick is good; you need to remember it well. You really can't step into the same pit twice. --- Feels more like a post-hoc genius, how could they be sure it would go this way at the time? --- 3% compound interest sounds stable, but when has the crypto market ever been stable? There will always be black swan events.

I have heard the saying that daily 3% is possible too many times, but the key question is how many can actually stick to it... That's a good point, but when you're looking at the K-line late at night, who still remembers these rules? Cold wallets are indeed a great trick, like adding an insurance policy for yourself, which can help you relax a lot. From 2000 to 80,000, the math is correct, but what about the preconditions? The market must cooperate over these three months. Splitting positions and rolling profits sounds simple, but in practice, you always want to earn a little more, and then it blows up. Discipline is even harder than choosing coins; a single impulsive move late at night can ruin everything. According to this logic, 120 days could yield 34 times returns... but that still feels a bit too idealistic. I've never been good at stop-losses; it seems I need to learn.

To be honest, 3% daily sounds incredibly tempting, but I really want to know how he managed to get through these three months... Can he really avoid adding to his position during those pullbacks? Discipline is easy to talk about, but when you see a limit-down market in the middle of the night, can your hands really stop trembling? I admit that locking the principal in a cold wallet is a tough move, but I feel it still depends on extremely strong self-discipline... Ordinary people find it hard to hold out until that moment when compound interest takes off. --- 3% compound interest sounds stable, but I just want to ask, how has the market been over these three months? Everyone can make money in a bull market, right? --- Earning 3% daily... if this is truly implemented properly, no one can consistently lose money. The real question is, how many people can actually execute this strategy? --- The rolling interest model is good, but I think the toughest test is the stop-loss. --- That cold wallet move is indeed brilliant, like installing a fuse for yourself.
