#大户持仓动态 My account grew from less than $1,500 to $52,000. Sounds crazy, but I haven't gambled a single cent this month. To be honest, I used to be the kind of person who went all-in, until a brutal liquidation lesson woke me up.



Later, I figured out a principle: instead of risking everything, it's better to ensure each trade grows steadily. My approach is actually simple—divide the account into two parts. One half goes into a cold wallet as an unbreakable moat; the other half is used to roll profits, so even if there's a loss, it's only floating loss. The safety of the principal is the bottom line.

What truly changed my trading habits is this three-step discipline.

**Step 1: Follow the trend, avoid bottom-fishing**

Don’t chase the bottom—that’s a trap for retail traders. I only trade bullish signals on the daily chart, then wait for the 1-hour chart to retest EXPMA12 before entering. Even if the price dips again, I don’t add positions. Staying disciplined means surviving longer.

**Step 2: Take profit and split the position**

Take profit at 3% immediately—that’s key. One part of the profit is withdrawn to the wallet (to secure gains), another part is used to roll over in the account (to let compound interest work), and the remaining part acts as a risk cushion. This way, each profit pushes up the stop-loss level, gradually balancing risk and reward.

**Step 3: Shut down at sunset**

Limit to two trades per day, then turn off the software. Spend 10 minutes every night writing down mistakes, so you never fall into the same trap again. It may seem insignificant, but it can save your life.

**Real trading cases are actually very simple**

For ETH, I waited until the retracement to the previous high with a 30% decrease in volume before entering, then took 3.8% profit and cashed out.

For ARB, I entered at the lower boundary of the triangle pattern, cut at 2.9%.

For BNB, after a volume breakout, I rolled over immediately, and that trade doubled.

None of these were predictions; they were mechanical operations based on structure, volume, and disciplined execution. No tricks needed, and no tricks exist.

**Mathematics is honest**

Don’t underestimate the power of 3% daily gains. With compound interest, over 120 trading days, it can grow 34 times. This is not bragging, it’s math. Compared to those lottery-like dreams of 100x gains, stable slow growth is the real way for ordinary traders to survive in this market.

I’ve seen too many people lose not because of the market, but because of their reckless late-night trades. The more desperate you are, the easier you are to get liquidated. What’s missing isn’t effort, but a light—one that illuminates at the critical moment, helping you see your emotions, understand the market structure, and know when to act or pause.

When the light is on, the direction becomes clear. Markets won’t wait for anyone, and liquidation won’t either. So, don’t give yourself the chance to make mistakes.
ETH-0.24%

To be honest, this methodology sounds comfortable, but very few people can actually stick with it.

Honestly, I've also played the all-in game, and I only realized after a huge liquidation that it was a disaster. Now I see that steady growth is the ticket to survival.
