A month ago, the account dropped to a low of 7,000 dollars. At that time, my mood was really bad, but it was also then that I completely let go of all illusions. I started trading in an almost mechanical way—no full positions, no chasing hot trends, no trusting instincts—focusing solely on one thing: position management.



I set a strict rule for myself. Divide 7,000U into 5 parts, each 1,400U, and only use one part per trade. No matter how tempting the opportunity, never over-leverage, and never add to positions during trading. Always keep 4 parts as reserve funds in the account, so any volatility can't shake my mindset.

I also fully standardized stop-loss and take-profit. Each trade's stop-loss is set at 3%, with a maximum loss of 42 dollars. Take-profit is set between 6% and 10%, and I cut profits decisively at 85 to 140 dollars.

It sounds simple, but the most powerful part of this system is its high repeatability. Over a month, I made about 70 trades. 28 of those were losses, totaling a loss of 1,176U. But 42 were profitable, earning nearly 5,000U. Net profit for the month exceeded 3,800U. From 7,000 to 210,000, in just 43 days.

This isn't a gambler's quick riches, but rather a gradual upward curve achieved through high-frequency, disciplined execution.

To reach this level, I rely on three unbreakable principles:

Always set a stop-loss before entering a trade. Once triggered, exit immediately—no second chances. Set a take-profit target and stick to it; don’t keep hoping for higher gains. Don’t watch the market constantly or chase hot spots—only act within patterns I understand thoroughly.

Most people blow up in the crypto market not because they see the wrong trend, but because they lose control of their positions. Going all-in today, adding leverage tomorrow—one mistake can wipe out dozens of correct trades. Seeing the right trend but losing due to poor position management—that kind of failure is the most painful.

I never gamble against the market. I only compete with my own execution discipline.

From 7,000U to 210,000U, there’s no miracle involved—just the natural result of following the same set of rules every time. In such a volatile market, stability and discipline often go further than intelligence and courage.

This is the right way to play with coins, not a gambler but an engineer.

This is the true logic of making money, not relying on luck or gambling. Discipline can really change your life. --- 70 trades with 42 wins, this win rate is top-tier anywhere, and the best part is you don’t even need to watch the charts. Impressive. --- People holding full positions should be crying in the corner now, still dreaming of a quick comeback haha. --- Mechanical trading is truly amazing. I used to think it could go higher, but I ended up losing all my profits. Now I understand the importance of taking profits. --- From 7,000 to 210,000, this is the power of execution, nothing fancy, just doing one thing to the extreme. --- May I ask, do you still stick to this set of rules? Have you thought about changing it? --- Honestly, position management in the crypto world is like a martial arts secret. Most people are too clever for their own good and refuse to learn, only to be taught a harsh lesson by the market. --- A 3% stop loss sounds greedy, but think about it differently—it's risk controllable. Interesting, isn’t it? --- A complete overhaul from mindset to execution. This is not just trading skills; it’s rebirth. --- I just want to know how many people are still full-position gambling maniacs. After reading this, I bet they’ll start reflecting.

ngl the incentive structures here are... interesting. path dependency on position sizing, arguably the real governance primitive most degens miss. historically precedent suggests this works until it doesn't, but the non-trivial externalities of actually sticking to rules? underrated tbh.

This brother understands, disciplined trading is indeed much more reliable than a gambler's mentality. But I want to ask, do those 4 reserve funds really never move? Can you really hold back when there's a sudden plunge during trading? Honestly, I'm a bit scared of a 3% stop loss, often cutting losses when there's floating loss, only to see a rebound afterward. 70 trades with 28 losses... the win rate isn't high, but the returns are obviously outstanding, and that's the key. I just want to know if this set of rules works for volatile markets, it feels like it can be repeatedly washed out.

Honestly, this set of discipline rules sounds simple but is really hard to follow. Most people fail because of greed. --- 70 trades, with a win rate of less than 60%, still earning 5000U. The key is really the execution of stop-loss and take-profit. --- Going from 7,000 to 210,000 sounds impressive, but when you break it down, it's just the result of repeating the same action for 43 days. No black technology involved. --- The most heartbreaking thing is that most people don't misread the market; they get wiped out by their position size. I've been through that several times myself. --- I only now realize how crucial full position sizing is; I couldn't do it before. --- A 3% stop-loss sounds small, but if you can truly execute it every time, compound growth becomes a fortress. --- I feel that the most valuable part of this article isn't the profit increase but those three ironclad rules, which are more practical than any technical analysis.

This is the only way to survive in the crypto world... Most people simply can't exercise such restraint.

This is true trading wisdom—either getting rich overnight or being crushed by discipline and human nature. --- I just want to ask, can you really stick to not looking at the market for a month? Every time I look at the market, I get itchy hands. --- This set of position management is indeed brilliant. 70 trades earning 5000 and losing 1176, probability is still the key. --- That line about full position leverage really hit me—I’ve been taught that way. --- Mechanical execution sounds simple, but the real challenge is the mental state—probably the hardest part. --- From 7k to 21w, I believe it. What I don’t believe is that someone can truly avoid adding to their position temporarily for a month. --- Stop loss at 3%, take profit at 6-10%. The ratio looks small, but with high-frequency 70 trades, the cumulative effect shows. --- This guy isn’t just blowing smoke; his logic is consistent, and the data matches. The rare thing isn’t the method but the actual execution.

Wow, this is the arbitrage framework I’ve been talking about... It’s not based on luck, but purely on mempool monitoring + position management through engineering execution.
