#ETH巨鲸增持 I’ve seen a case where someone grew their principal from 6,000 USDT to 420,000 over more than half a year.
It’s not a miracle—just strict discipline, implemented to the letter.
A lot of people actually get the direction right, but their account just doesn’t grow—the problem lies in execution. As soon as the market shakes, they panic; they can’t hold onto profitable positions, and they’re reluctant to cut losing ones, ultimately messing up their whole rhythm.
If you want your equity curve to go up, there are three core things.
**First, let’s talk about trends.** Range-bound markets are brutal: news is chaotic, volumes are weak, and sentiment is unstable—entering is just a gamble. The real money is made in trending markets. I remember when Ethereum broke out of its range—placing orders at key levels ahead of time, and as soon as volume surged, I rode the whole move. With the same opportunity, some people keep trying and get stopped out, while those who understand rhythm nail it in one go.
**Next is the logic for scaling in.** The initial position should always be small—like testing the waters with 5% of your capital. Only add to your position when you’re in profit—this is letting your profits drive your position size. Only once floating profits are up 50% does the real acceleration begin. Never average down on a losing position—it’s suicide; the more you add, the bigger the hole. The essence of compounding is to use your profits to amplify your edge, not your principal to carry risk.
**Lastly, exit strategy.** Don’t take profits all at once—I prefer to exit in three stages: first, close part of the position to lock in some gains and stabilize your mindset; then pull out your principal to secure your account’s safety line; finally, leave some position to let the trend run its course. The benefit—if the trend explodes, you get the big move; if it reverses suddenly, you’re not badly hurt.
Compounding isn’t gambling—it’s about maximizing certainty when you have an edge.
Even if you only catch two or three decent moves a year, your account size will jump in quality. In that case of growing from 6,000 USDT to over 400,000, there wasn’t a single all-in, not one emotional trade—it was all about rhythm—letting your capital compound continuously under controlled risk.
There are always opportunities in the market, but whether you can seize them depends on whether you have a method.

nah this is just survivorship bias dressed up as methodology, statistically speaking most people who follow this get liquidated anyway

The key is mindset. Most people fail because of their emotions.

It's the same theory again. The key is, how many people can actually manage to be disciplined?
