Recently, I encountered a trader whose account shrank to just $3,000 during the initial phase, almost wiping out his original capital of over $200,000. After adjusting his trading approach, he managed to grow his account to nearly $40,000 in three months. What was the key turning point? He summarized it very well: "It’s really not luck; discipline saved me."



In the crypto market, many people ask what is the hardest part. The answer is quite straightforward — it’s not the analysis skills of candlestick charts, not being well-informed about news, nor the so-called trading talent, but rather whether you can stick to your trading system and hold onto that bottom line.

There is a proven method I call the "Position Rolling System." Its core logic consists of four key steps:

**Flexible Position Sizing**: Control individual positions at 20%-30% of total funds. This way, even if one trade goes wrong, there’s room to maneuver, preventing a total collapse from a single misjudgment.

**Take Profits When Gains Appear**: Close the position after earning 10%-15%, and don’t expect to keep running it forever. If losses exceed 3%-4%, cut your losses immediately — don’t give the market a chance to keep cutting.

**Follow the Trend, Not Predict**: Abandon the idea of bottom fishing or catching the top. Wait until the trend is clearly established before entering. It may seem "slow," but the win rate is much more stable.

**Daily Review and Adjustment**: Summarize each day’s trades, analyze gains and losses, and optimize entry points and position allocation in a timely manner. Continuous discipline creates a positive feedback loop.

Markets change every day, but ironclad discipline remains constant. Many people can’t turn their situation around because they lack opportunities — what they lack is a stable mindset and consistent execution of their method. Traders willing to take action, starting with small capital and steadily applying a prudent approach, can gradually build their own growth trajectory.

Discipline is easy to talk about but really hard to do. Most people still want to go all-in and gamble it all.

Discipline is easy to talk about, but how many can truly withstand the pullback... This guy went from 3k to 40k, which is really hardcore, but I don't know how long he can keep it up.

Discipline is easy to talk about but hard to practice. Few people can truly stick to it.

No matter how correct your words are, the key is execution. This is the watershed between harvesting and making money.
