#数字货币市场洞察 Rolling from 21,300 USDT to 117,000 USDT: My Low-Leverage Compounding Trading Notes
I cleared my positions before the FTX crash and positioned myself ahead of PEPE’s takeoff, reaping 30x returns. But what truly transformed my account was last summer’s rolling compounding strategy.
It wasn’t luck—it was rhythm.
My three core principles:
**Start Steady** Only use 3x leverage, with a single position capped at 20%. This isn’t being conservative—it’s about surviving longer. Slow is fast.
**Choose the Right Tokens** Focus on altcoins with intraday volatility above 15%. Especially between 1-3am Beijing time, when US/EU funds are most active—this is the best window for catching rebounds.
**Scale Up Scientifically** When floating profit hits 30%, add 13% to your position, up to three rounds. This is the pyramid scaling method—each addition lowers your cost and rolls your profits.
For risk control, I have three hard rules:
• If drawdown hits 5%, close the position immediately and take a 12-hour break. This helps me avoid big losses and handle small ones.
• During high-volatility overnight sessions, move stop profits up with price increases. Never give back profits already secured.
• When funding rates exceed 0.3%, take the opposite trade. This trick saved me from getting trapped three times.
It took blowing up seven accounts to realize: rolling compounding isn’t about going all-in on luck, but about using discipline to counter human nature.
The market gives opportunities, but only to those who are prepared.

It took 7 liquidations for me to learn discipline—I believe that. But those nights staying up from 1 to 3 a.m. watching altcoins were truly hopeless... I made money, but my insomnia maxed out.

It took 7 liquidations to understand, that's the price to pay. But to be honest, 3x leverage is really stable, you just have to keep your mindset steady.

It took blowing up my account 7 times to figure this out—there's definitely something to it.
