Many people have asked me a question: how can one achieve steady growth in the crypto market? My answer always points to the same thing—rhythm and timing.



Last year, I used a set of methods centered around rolling positions, position control, and rhythm judgment to help many traders turn their fortunes around. Some grew their capital from 4,800U to 46,000U in two months; others, even more aggressive, started with 1,500U and, through strict discipline, pushed their account to 19,000U. This is not luck, nor is it some secret weapon.

**The core really boils down to three things.**

Imagine boiling dumplings—water boiling, adding dumplings, then pouring cold water—each step must be followed in order. Market trading is the same; if the steps are correct and the timing is right, the results will come naturally.

**First Iron Rule: Position Size Is Always a Safety Valve**

Position management directly determines how long you can survive. This is not just talk. For every trade, I set a hard limit for everyone following my approach: 20% of total capital is the absolute ceiling—nothing more. Stop-loss must be set at 3% below the entry price; if hit, exit immediately—no negotiations.

Why be so strict? Because once your position blows up, you're out. Even if the market reverses later, you won't have the chips to participate. Proper position management ensures that, no matter how badly you misjudge, losses are just superficial and won't damage your principal. For small funds, this is the only way to stay alive.

**Counterexamples are everywhere in textbooks.**

Many traders with limited capital still want to go all-in, dreaming of tenfold returns in one shot. After losing, they stubbornly refuse to cut losses, falling into a vicious cycle of "liquidation—recharge—liquidation again." Their accounts become leaky balloons—no matter how much money they add, it never fills up. Essentially, this is a gambler's mentality, not a trader's mindset.

**A true trader thinks: how can I survive until the next cycle?**

That is the real beginning of winning.

This analogy of boiling dumplings is perfect, but I've still seen too many people jump into the pot before the right timing.

It sounds good, but I've seen too many people get caught when the "timing is right." The key is that most people never even wait for that moment.

Position management is truly a matter of life and death. I've seen too many people go all-in and end up with zero, then start endlessly recharging... and there's no hope left.

It's the same old story: 20% position size, 3% stop loss. Easy to say, hard to do. The key is really overcoming the mindset. When you see the coin hitting the daily limit, you want to chase, and when you lose, you just hold on stubbornly.
