#美SEC推动加密创新监管 In the cryptocurrency market, those who survive the longest never rely on scraping a few points by staring at the screen every day. What truly doubles your account is seizing those few moments of certainty—using compounding to turn a small principal into big money.

But there’s a prerequisite: only do long-side compounding, don’t touch shorts. Why? Because the market can rise to the point where you question reality, but there’s always a bottom when it falls. The risk-reward ratio for shorting is inherently unfavorable.

So when is it considered a “moment of certainty”?

The market has given three obvious signals: first, after a deep pullback and a long period of sideways movement, there’s a sudden spike in volume breaking through a resistance level and the trend completely reverses; second, on the daily chart, the price rises above a key moving average, trading volume and price go up together, and you can visibly see market sentiment warming up; third, a more subtle sign—when the trending topics list is quiet, retail investors are still complaining everywhere, but the big players have already started quietly accumulating.

How do you actually do it? Let’s use 50,000 as an example.

This 50,000 should be profits you earned earlier, not borrowed life-saving money. Use isolated margin mode, with each single position using no more than 10% of your total funds, and keep leverage under 10x, which works out to an effective leverage of only 1x. Set your stop loss at 2%, and if it’s hit, just cut the loss—no emotions.

Don’t rush to add to your position after a breakout. Wait for the price to go up 10%, then use 10% of the newly made profit to open a second position, with the stop loss still at 2%. Remember: never go all-in, never average down, never hold on stubbornly. When you hit the stop loss, just close the software and save your bullets for the next opportunity.

With this compounding method, a 50% primary rally can roll your account up to 200,000. Catch two rounds, and you’ll reach a million. Honestly, if you succeed in compounding just three to four times in your life, 50,000 → 1,000,000 → 10,000,000, you can call it a day and live comfortably.

You need to engrave these risk control rules in your mind:

First, don’t compound in a choppy market, a slow decline, or with altcoins driven purely by news;
Second, even if you lose your principal, only your isolated margin gets liquidated—your other funds are automatically locked and can’t be touched from your main account;
Third, you must withdraw 30% of your profits during the compounding process—use it to buy a house or car and lock in your gains, so your own greed doesn’t turn against you.

Compounding isn’t about gambling your life—it’s about waiting for the wind. When the wind comes, act; when it doesn’t, stay out, and it’s better to miss a chance than to act blindly.

In this market, being able to keep a steady mind, wait for opportunities, and survive is more reliable than any get-rich-quick strategy.
