A while ago, a fren found me with 15,000 U in his account, a typical phenomenon—able to see the direction but stepping to the wrong rhythm. The coin selection was good, and the judgment was okay, but at the crucial moment, he hesitated: afraid of a pullback after a 5% rise, he rushed to rug pull, and as soon as he turned around, the market took off. In the end, he could only comfort himself by saying, "If only I had held on a little longer."

I asked him whether he wanted to gamble or really make money. He thought for a long time and said he wanted to steadily catch a wave of the market. I told him that in the coin circle, the rhythm is always more crucial than technology.

**Positions should be light for profits to compound**

The strategy is actually quite simple, just six words: wait for the trend, take small positions to test, and add to profits.

The first order should never exceed 10% of the total principal. For an account of 15,000 U, the first order should only invest 500-1,000 U. If the direction is correct, use profits to add positions incrementally; if the judgment is wrong, cut the loss directly, ensuring that a single loss does not exceed 5% of the principal. Many people prefer to hold on and average down, resulting in small losses being dragged into large losses. Our rule is that once the stop-loss line is set, it cannot be moved; if there is a 5% loss, you must exit the market that day, and do not give yourself the chance to fantasize.

Only add money to the profitable trades. For example, if the first position made a 30% profit, you can use the floating profit to pursue the second position. What is the benefit of this? Even if the second wave of adding positions fails, the only loss is the profit part, as the principal has already been safely withdrawn.

**Get the rhythm right, small accounts can also benefit from big market trends**

My fren used to do the opposite completely—when he lost, he would frantically average down, and when he made a little profit, he would immediately rug pull. Once the rhythm was disrupted, even accurate judgments became useless.

In the ETH ecosystem market, this is how we did it: we started with a light initial position, added to our position in batches using floating profits after breaking through, and moved the stop-loss to the cost price after a 30% rise. In the end, the market doubled; although we didn't capture the full rise, we secured a zero-risk profit, with our principal intact.

The key is not to be greedy and let compound interest work for you.
