Discipline is the most brutal lever to widen the gap between the rich and the poor.



I was born in 1987 and have been active in the crypto space for over five years. I've seen bloodbaths at 3 a.m. and experienced the crazy moments when assets multiply tenfold during a bull market. The trading method I’m about to share is a blood-and-tears ledger written with 17 liquidation events. Recently, I helped a fan run this model successfully—43 days turned 1,000U into 20,475U. I’ll break it down in the most straightforward way, with no fluff, only practical ideas.

**1. What is the truth about rolling positions**

Many people misunderstand it, thinking that rolling positions means adding to floating profits. Actually, the core idea isn’t that complicated—use profits as a shield, and keep the principal as a backup. I follow these three iron rules:

- Don’t open a position exceeding 5% of the principal. Starting with 1,000U, the first trade invests 50U. Even if it loses, it’s just a meal’s worth of money, so the mindset stays stable.

- The first thing to do when making money is to withdraw the principal. For example, if the account reaches 1,500U, directly withdraw the original 1,000U to your wallet, and then all subsequent trades use only the earned money.

- Stop-loss should be based on volatility. If a coin’s average daily fluctuation is 5%, I set the stop-loss 3.5% below the entry price (5% multiplied by 0.7). This helps avoid unnecessary震荡.

Taking Xiao Lin’s real case as an example: he traded WIF coins in the 1.2 to 1.8U range, using 5% position size for short-term trades, rolling back five times. Each time earning 20%, he immediately reinvested the profit into the next trade. In the end, his capital grew from 500U to 2,100U. The key is his extremely disciplined stop-loss execution—losing 1.5U, he would cut immediately, never waiting for a rebound like in a dream.

**2. The three stages from beginner to full position**

The first stage is called foundation building (1 to 15 days), which involves practicing feel, controlling drawdowns...

Damn, it took 17 liquidation events to realize it. This guy truly exchanges real money for lessons... But honestly, opening a position with only 5% is really commendable. Self-discipline is easy to talk about but hard to practice. Many people start thinking about adding to their position after a -15% drawdown.

Only after 17 liquidation events did I realize this method. Honestly, this is true skill, unlike those who teach without ever having suffered a loss.

That's true, but we have to be honest—only one out of ten people who know about this stuff can stick with it. I really can't stand those who constantly talk about discipline but go all-in on dips after a single decline; it's just self-deception.
