Dear frens, let's set aside those dreams of getting rich overnight.
To be honest: relying on a full margin gamble, the money earned cannot be kept.
I used three months to grow an account of less than $2000 to nearly $80,000. It wasn't by luck, it wasn't by insider information, and it certainly wasn't by betting my entire fortune—just one simple idea: a steady 3% every day.
I have also suffered great losses on this path. Back then, I stayed up late monitoring the market, chasing rises and killing dips, opening positions wildly with ten times or twenty times leverage, which only led to a faster liquidation to zero. It wasn't until I changed one action that the situation was completely turned around.
The account is divided into two. Half goes into a cold wallet to secure the principal; the other half is used to roll over profits. This way, even if there are mistakes, only the unrealized gains will be lost, and the principal will not be affected by emotional fluctuations.
From that day on, only three core disciplines remained.
**Rule 1: Follow the trend to make profits, don’t catch falling knives**
Only touch the bullish varieties that stand firm on the daily line. Wait for the hourly line to pull back to the moving average before taking action. If it doesn't turn red and the volume doesn't increase, don't enter the market even if it's cheap.
Pinning is a gambler's game; traders don't play that.
**Article 2: Split profits as you earn, let profits grow on their own**
As soon as each order reaches the target of 3%, it is immediately divided into three parts: one part is taken as profit, one part continues to roll, and one part serves as a buffer. Stop-loss moves up with the profit. People can exit the market, but let the money stay in the market to keep working.
**Article 3: Turn off the machine when it's time, people are more important than the market**
A maximum of two orders per day. Once the time is up, the software will shut down automatically. Spend ten minutes in the evening reviewing, noting where I was greedy and where I was too impatient today. Falling into the same pit twice is absolutely not allowed.
Recently, all trades rely on this method: enter when there's a pullback with low volume, exit when the structure deteriorates, and just follow when there's high volume. No betting on direction, no guessing, just repeatedly executing based on structure, volume, and discipline.
Think 3% every day is too slow?
Compound interest never cares about your slow speed, only about your chaotic operations. Many people think they lost to the market, but in fact, they lost to the emotional order placed at two o'clock in the morning.
What can truly save you is never some inspiration or predictive ability, but a set of trading rules that can be executed even when emotions are out of control.
The market won't wait for anyone, and liquidation won't give you a chance to regret. The sound logic of compound interest is right here; whether to proceed or not is up to you.

You are right, the hardest part is giving up that greed. I used to be the kind of person who would shake at two in the morning, and now I'm still paying off debts.

Placing orders with emotions at two in the morning is really something; that's how I ended up blowing my account.

That phrase at two in the morning really hit me; how many times have I regretted making emotional trades?

The line about placing emotional orders at two in the morning hit home, it's too real, there's no saving it.

That emotional order I placed at two in the morning directly blew up my account, it really hits hard.
