Took a student from 7,000U to 460,000U—not some kind of mysterious magic, just relentlessly nailing every detail of the compounding strategy.

A lot of people don’t actually lack technical skills; it’s their mindset that gets wrecked by the market’s rhythm. When the price goes up a bit, they rush to cash out; when it drops a little, they start doubting everything. The more they trade, the messier it gets. But if you really understand these three core principles, your account curve can take a whole new path.

**Only take action during trends; stay out during sideways markets.** Consolidation phases are like meat grinders—no volume, no clear direction, getting in is just handing money to the big players. The real moments worth acting on are when the big players start pushing volume, the price breaks key levels, and market sentiment ignites. Back then, we positioned ourselves just before BTC broke out. As soon as the move started, our position doubled, and all the profits afterward came from riding the trend.

**Only use floating profits to add to positions, never risk your principal.** Start with a small entry, say 5% of your position, and only add using floating profits once the direction is confirmed. When your profits exceed 50%, you can consider scaling in further. The iron rule is: never add to losing trades—only to winning ones. Too many people get trapped in the cycle of “averaging down on losses and taking profits too early on winners,” and their positions never grow. The real compounding approach is about amplifying your edge when you’re winning, not stubbornly holding onto losses hoping for a comeback.

**Don’t take profits all at once—lock in gains in stages.** I always use a three-stage take profit strategy: first, lock in a portion of profits so the work isn’t for nothing; second, secure your principal so you’re never at risk; finally, keep a small position to let your profits run. Don’t close everything at the first sign of a gain—that’s being afraid of losing, not understanding the rhythm.

Compounding is like walking a tightrope—one misstep and it’s all gone, but get the rhythm right and you’ll soar. From 7,000U to 460,000U, there was no all-in, no relying on luck—just riding the trend, managing the rhythm, and strict execution.

The crypto space never lacks opportunities; what’s missing are people who can maintain their rhythm. The market is still in a fermenting phase, making this a golden window for compounding. Making money isn’t about one big leap; it’s about accumulating step by step using the right method.
