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 Whenever the account grows by 3%, I immediately split the profit into three parts: one part is withdrawn for safety, one part continues to roll and amplify, and one part is locked as risk insurance.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.
