Ladies and gentlemen, I have to be honest—those stories of overnight riches, I once believed them too. It wasn't until my account grew from just over 2000U to nearly 75,000U in less than three months that I truly understood: the only shortcut is the most straightforward compound interest.
No luck, no insider information, and definitely no full-margin reckless bets. Just a steady 3% daily.
But to be fair, I’ve blown up my account before. Back then, I was glued to the screen every day, chasing highs and selling lows, opening all kinds of high-leverage contracts in turn, and as a result, my funds slid down a slide like a rollercoaster. That feeling, I believe many have experienced—watching the numbers drop relentlessly while your fingers can’t help but place more orders.
The change happened with a very simple idea. I split my account into two: half into a cold wallet—my principal, which I couldn’t touch; the other half for trading, where any floating profit—even if it’s a loss—would never breach my bottom line. From that moment, I set three rules for myself.
**Rule 1: Trend is king, don’t fight the rebound.**
Focus only on daily charts showing a confirmed uptrend. When I see a 1-hour chart retesting the moving average, I enter cautiously. Never move if it’s not red, never chase without volume. Watching the price plunge can be painful, but that’s called a needle stab— a trader’s death trap, not my trading scene.
**Rule 2: Take profits immediately, profits generate more profits.**
Whenever I make 3%, I split it into three parts: one part is withdrawn immediately as a reward and proof of discipline; another part stays in the account to snowball; the third acts as a buffer against sudden volatility. Stop-loss levels float with profits, and I never soften when it’s time to protect.
**Rule 3: Shut down at the set time—people are always more valuable than the market.**
Maximum two trades per day. When the time’s up, I turn off the software. Spend ten minutes every night reviewing—where was greed creeping in, where was impatience? Repeating the same mistakes is unacceptable; I won’t fall for them twice.
This period of trading is entirely supported by this approach: buy on retests with decreasing volume, exit decisively if the structure breaks, follow volume spikes directly. No guessing direction, no trying to out-predict others—just repeatedly execute visible structures, volume changes, and discipline checks.
Think 3% daily is too slow? Compound interest never complains about being slow; it only hates chaos. The real loss often comes from that impulsive decision made at 2 a.m., when your brain’s overheating.
What can save you is never some sudden inspiration or a big influencer’s prediction, but a set of ironclad rules that, even if your mindset collapses or emotions run wild, you are forced to follow. These rules may seem rigid, but precisely because they are rigid, they can protect you at critical moments.
The path is already clear. The market won’t wait, and liquidation won’t either. We focus only on practical trading, not illusions. If you want steady progress and truly hold your destiny in your hands, follow this routine; if you’re chasing quick money or the thrill of overnight riches, then let’s go our separate ways.

This set of discipline is indeed rigid, but not being foolish at 2 a.m. means winning half the battle.
---
3% daily sounds slow, but I only understood this after being educated by a margin call.
---
Cold wallet trick is excellent; as long as the principal isn't touched, the mentality stays stable.
---
Honestly, those who can endure a full cycle without changing the rules have already made a fortune.
---
That's very true, but the problem is most people can't wait for the power of compound interest to kick in.
---
The key is execution; knowing and doing are worlds apart.
---
I’ve fallen into the trap of not chasing rebounds before, and now I’ve learned my lesson.
---
Hearing that 3% snowball grow sounds slow, but it’s much faster than most people going all-in and then quitting.
---
I really understand that impulsive decision at 2 a.m.; that’s how accounts get lost.

It sounds quite realistic, but that sentence about getting feverish at 2 a.m. really hit me deep.
---
3% sounds slow, but sticking with it is a whole different story.
---
Only after a margin call do you realize that those big V's calling for trades are all nonsense.
---
Cold wallets are brilliant; it's about forcing yourself not to move assets randomly.
---
The key is discipline; without discipline, all rules are useless.
---
Making a profit and then running away is much harder to do than to say.
---
I need to keep the phrase "Don't fight the rebound" in my mind.
---
Compound interest isn't slow, it's just chaotic; this phrase is worth ten thousand dollars.
---
Restricting two trades every day to the extreme is a bit oppressive but indeed effective.
---
Growing from 2k to 750k is really impressive, but the chance to replicate this is a bit mysterious.

This guy's right, but the execution is the hard part.
He's right, the order at 2 a.m. often results in the biggest losses.
75,000 sounds great, but I really want to know how they've been getting through these three months—have they ever had a mental breakdown?
Daily 3% compound interest is indeed tempting, but the prerequisite is really being able to stick with it for two months without moving.
I'm the kind of person who can't close the app, looks like I need to reflect.
The rules are rigid but effective, that's a perfect statement.

Honestly, the phrase "placing an order at 2 a.m. out of boredom" hit me hard—that's my daily routine.
A 3% daily return sounds ordinary, but compound interest is truly the magic of time; enduring boredom is the hardest part.
I need to learn the trick of half-keeping funds in cold wallets; it feels more effective than anything else.
But on the other hand, knowing the principles and actually executing them are worlds apart. Most people still fall victim to 3 a.m. mistakes.
This set of rules may seem rigid, but it's really a battle against one's own greed.

Uh... To be honest, that hit me hard. The impulse at 2 a.m. is all too familiar.
---
Daily 3% is indeed stable, but I need to resist the urge to go all in—that's tough.
---
I need to learn the cold wallet trick; it really seems to save people.
---
Rigid rules? Isn't that just a stabilizer? Looks like I was just messing around before.
---
Over-leveraged +1, now I really understand that saying "pushing the needle is a death trap."
---
The key is execution. 99% of people know but just can't do it.
---
37.5x growth is indeed impressive, but this kind of review makes me even more convinced.
---
Hmm, this way of thinking feels like denying all my previous crypto trading decisions...
---
Doing a ten-minute review every night is a good trick. I need to see if I can stick to it.
---
Are two trades a day really enough? The market seems to have plenty of opportunities.
---
So in the end, it's all about self-discipline, right? Nothing mysterious about it.
---
So, is that 3% based on what cycle? Daily return or weekly return?

Honestly, I totally understand the impulse at 2 a.m. every time I think I can turn things around this time.
Compound interest is indeed awesome, but execution is the biggest enemy; most people fail before discipline.
This set of rules sounds easy, try sticking to it for three months. I bet five dollars you'll break your defenses.

Really, every time I see posts like this, I think of myself at 2 a.m., trembling as I open 20x leverage.
Yes, that's exactly the feeling—compound interest seems slow but is truly ruthless.
By the way, I admit I haven't quite achieved 3% haha.
This discipline sounds simple, but how many can really stick to it?
I need to learn how to use a cold wallet, or I can't control my hands.
Turning off the device is too heartbreaking; I always say I'll turn off, but late at night I'm still staring.
The idea of account separation is pretty good, it's like insuring yourself.
Honestly, compared to predictions from big influencers, my strict rules are the real lifesaver.
Avoiding liquidation is truly the first step. Over the past few months, I lost a lot because I didn't do this well.
Wow, from 2000U to 75,000U, just looking at this wave feels so satisfying.
