In the crypto market, traders who operate frequently often fall into the vicious cycle of chasing highs and selling lows. Conversely, some investors who stick to simple discipline are able to profit amid volatility.



One trader shared their experience: starting with an initial capital of 3,000 USD, they achieved 19,000 USD through a 6x return. Their approach isn't complicated; the key is to abandon over-analysis and focus on market trends.

This method revolves around three core steps:

**First, trend recognition and light position testing**
When a certain coin's price begins to move, allocate 3% of the total funds as a testing position. This allows participation in the trend while controlling risk. The focus is on avoiding blind entries near historical lows.

**Second, confirm signals and gradually increase positions**
Avoid guessing at the bottom; wait until mainstream funds enter and the trend is confirmed, then add to positions in stages until reaching 20%-50%. This approach effectively reduces the risk of being trapped at high levels.

**Third, strictly implement take-profit and risk management**
Close trades promptly after reaching targets to lock in profits and prevent reversals. Stay calm during market frenzy to avoid greed leading to losses.

Some investors have practiced this strategy, recovering from a loss of 400,000 USD within three months and even achieving additional gains. This demonstrates that stable trading discipline often outweighs high-frequency trading and complex technical indicator combinations.

In the volatile crypto market, patience and discipline are the foundation for long-term survival. Frequent coin switching only increases trading costs and psychological burden, while executing clear strategies and controlling risk exposure are the true paths to steady growth.

Getting from 3000U to 19000U sounds easy, but the key is whether you can endure those days of slashing your gains. I just don't have that resolve. Honestly, it's about not being greedy, waiting for signals, and decisively taking profits. It sounds simple, but actually doing it is deadly. Losing 400,000 and still being able to recover your capital—how strong must one's psychological resilience be... I would have blown up mentally long ago. Frequent trading is just paying tuition fees. I understand that, but when the market starts moving, I still get itchy hands. Who can maintain such discipline? I've tried the 3% testing water and batch adding positions approach, but I couldn't withstand the test of my inner demons, and in the end, I still went all in. Hey, I just can't hold on anymore. Why bother?

That's so true. I lost a stroke due to frequent trading, and only by changing to disciplined trading am I slowly recovering.

To be honest, this method is just straightforwardly making money. Why did I realize this so late?

ngl, the data on position sizing here is solid... empirically speaking, that 3% entry + staged accumulation framework actually mirrors what the literature suggests about risk management efficiency. but let's be real—most people will still fomo in at 80% of the way up lol
