This is not a get-rich-quick story, but a methodology that can help you steadily profit from the market every day.

As long as the market is moving, regardless of whether the trend is up, down, or sideways—opportunities are there.

I know a trader who started with only 1200U in capital and within less than a month grew it to 8900U. I've also seen someone strictly follow a plan, and their account tripled in 30 days.

There’s no secret trick behind this; it’s all about deep control over rhythm, position sizing, and execution.

**Why can't you do it?**

Most people keep making the same mistake: adding funds when the market moves against them, increasing their position size when losing, and finally cutting their losses when they can't hold on anymore. Is this trading? No, it’s just throwing a tantrum at the market.

**There are only four truly effective things:**

**Sense of rhythm is crucial** — Don’t mess around all day. Most of the market time is spent waiting; the key is to wait for that clear signal that "it’s time to move."

**Diversify your capital deployment** — Never go all in. Divide your funds into several tiers, gradually test the waters, and always leave room for a comeback.

**Let profits keep working for you** — After making money, don’t cash out everything. Take some profits as a "scouting team," and keep rolling your operations. Even if this part incurs losses, it won’t hurt too much.

**Pre-define your exit plan** — Decide in advance. Know at what level you must stop loss, and at what level you can take partial profits and exit in stages. Don’t let market fluctuations disrupt your plan.

Honestly, you can’t learn this just by reading words. It must become like a reflex, something you do instinctively through actual practice.

But as long as you seriously try this approach a few times, you will feel a complete change in your trading mindset—you will no longer be a retail trader scared away by market swings, but someone who gradually masters their own trading rhythm and plan.

**If you’ve experienced any of the following, it’s time to reflect:**

Frequent entries and exits every day, yet your account balance keeps shrinking.

Seeing the right trend but unable to hold your position—either exiting early or losing money.

Making some profit and rushing to withdraw, losing again and trying to make it back, with your account fluctuating like a roller coaster.

After each operation, only regret and anxiety remain, never experiencing that solid feeling of making money comfortably.

The essence of trading is actually a battle between discipline and patience. Spending more time refining your trading system is far more reliable than blindly chasing speed.

That's right, it's all about discipline. I used to frequently enter and exit, and my account was like a roller coaster. --- Turning 1200U into 8900U? Sounds pretty unlikely, it all seems like survivor bias; I haven't heard of any failure stories. --- The most heartbreaking thing is "seeing the market correctly but unable to hold," I really resonate with that. I often sell early and watch it go up, it's frustrating. --- I've definitely gone all-in before, paid quite a bit of tuition. Now I enter in stages, and it feels much more comfortable. --- The key is to have an exit plan. When you enter, you should already know when to get out, or your mindset will explode. --- It may sound like a motivational speech, but it really hits home. The main issue is poor execution—knowing what to do and actually doing it are worlds apart. --- This theory sounds perfect, but in real trading, the market often proves it wrong. The discipline you talk about often collapses in the face of volatility. --- Not adding to your position when the market drops—thinking of turning it around when the account falls 30%—at that point, your mind really isn't clear. --- The idea of rolling operations is good; letting some profits run and not being so anxious.

You're right, most people fail due to their mindset, chasing gains and selling losses like crazy every day --- 1200 to 8900? Sounds impressive, but how many actually follow through? --- As I always say, plans can never keep up with market changes; it's just armchair strategizing --- I agree with diversified deployment, but the premise is having enough capital—small investors don't have the spare money to test and learn --- Every time I read articles like this, I get fired up, but in real trading, you're still eaten alive by the tricks --- Cutting losses is the most painful; you just can't hold on, and just when you wait a second longer, it feels like a rebound is coming --- Making money and continuing to invest is the hardest part; always thinking about withdrawing to lock in profits—no one is a gambler --- I've tried strict stop-losses, but it always ends with selling at the lowest point, only for the price to surge right after—can't help but laugh --- The sense of rhythm sounds simple in theory, but in actual operation, judging the right moment to act is really just luck

That sounds reasonable, but what I fear most are those stories of "I know someone"... Can you share a screenshot of your account? Every time they say it's simple, but in actual operation, the market doesn't think so. Truly. Sense of rhythm? My rhythm is just not being able to tell when to make a move. No matter how good the words are, it's still trading. Trading carries risks, and there's no such thing as guaranteed profit. Going all in feels great for a moment, but diversifying into different tiers also requires repeated trial and error. Who has calculated the cost? It sounds like a pie-in-the-sky promise for newcomers...

Another story of 1200U turning into 8900U... I actually believed it, and ended up all in on a certain altcoin, which was cut in half. Now I'm still reviewing it late at night.

It sounds right, but I've heard this explanation too many times. How many actually survive? That's why I'm still here. Really, going all in feels good for a moment, but the account ends up in flames. The hardest part is cutting losses; it's even more painful than the loss itself. Just reading articles isn't enough; you need to pay tuition to truly understand. I just want to ask, how is the guy who turned 1200u into 8900u doing now? Setting stop-losses properly can actually help you sleep well. A threefold increase in a month? If I believe that, I must be a fool. I've always used the staggered entry method, and it indeed helps me last longer.

You're right. Compared to messing around every day, it's better to have your own rhythm. --- This logic sounds harsh, but I’m the kind of person who can still lose money even when I get it right. --- All in is really poison; every time, I end up with nothing. --- The hardest part isn’t the method; it’s really about resisting the urge to act for those few days. --- Doubling your money sounds great, but most of the time I’m just losing triple that. --- The key is execution. That’s true—my execution ability is just poor. --- I’ve tried the diversified ladder approach, and it definitely feels more comfortable, not as刺激 as all in. --- Let me ask again, what’s the guy who turned 1200U into 8900U doing now? Still making money? --- Stop-loss really needs to be set in advance; otherwise, watching the market makes you want to reverse your decision. --- Discipline and patience sound easy, but actually doing it is truly hellish.

There's nothing wrong with that, it's just that most people lack that kind of resolve. I don't dare to admit that I'm the guy who trades frequently... Is it true that from 1200 to 8900? Feels like I've heard similar stories too many times. The core is attitude; many people know about stop-loss and take-profit. The key is still to withstand the drawdowns; psychological resilience is more important than anything else.

That's right, I'm just afraid there's a vast gap between knowing and doing. It's another story of 1200U turning into 8900U, just listen to it. The key is still to figure it out yourself. I've tried frequent in-and-out trading, and it really is just giving money to the exchange.

Listen, listen, 1200U to 8900U? I think it must be some kind of luck... --- Sounds pretty good, but the key is to withstand the psychological torment. --- I've heard the phrase "don't all in" a hundred times, but when the market pumps, I still can't help myself haha. --- The part about cutting losses and exiting hit home; it's always the most frustrating when you're losing. --- So the core is two words: discipline. Everything else is虚的. --- The account like a roller coaster, that was a brilliant description. My account is no different... --- Rolling operations sound simple, but in practice, your mind gets all tangled. --- Feels like they're talking about me—frequently entering and exiting every day, and the account is shrinking. --- This kind of argument sounds like a "friend's" story; it’s a bit suspicious after all. --- Sense of rhythm, really difficult. How to judge the right moment to move...
