I recently met a post-95 professional trader, and after chatting for a long time, I finally understood what the "truth about making money" really means.
His account records are laid out before me—starting with a capital of 30,000, he managed to grow it to over 80 million in just 7 years. But what’s most shocking isn’t the numbers themselves, but his trading system. He almost never chases hot topics, rarely scans industry news, and his entire system is so simple it’s almost absurd.
I’ve summarized his core logic that can traverse multiple cycles into 5 key points:
**One move for a lifetime**. No flashy indicators stacking, no frequent strategy changes. He focuses on three things every day—review, correction, and optimization of execution. It may seem boring, but in fact, this is a scarce trait: most people lack the discipline to do one thing consistently over many years, rather than just skills.
**Don’t chase the trend, rely on compound interest**. He only observes hot topics without touching them, and only acts on MEME coins when the structure is particularly clear. He’s not after quick money from single big hits, but rather a deterministic snowball effect—this kind of growth is the most resilient.
**Concentrated positions + rolling operations**. With small capital, he only holds 1-2 targets; as funds grow, the core positions never exceed 3. He constantly adds or reduces positions to lower the average cost, never playing the full-margin gamble.
**Long-term cycle sets the direction, short-term cycle handles execution**. He first looks at trends and capital behavior to determine entry points, never makes decisions based on news—by the time news breaks, the market has already moved halfway.
**Always maintain a humble mindset**. He doesn’t blindly believe in any methodology; every loss is treated as trading tuition. He never vents emotionally, but calmly adjusts.
For small-cap traders, he emphasizes 4 points:
Quickly take profits when targets are reached, don’t fight the market. Carefully seek high-probability opportunities, avoid reckless operations. Position yourself in low-risk areas, don’t be aggressive. But when real opportunities come, be bold enough to go all in.
The fundamental reason many people can’t make money isn’t due to lack of effort, but because their methodology is wrong and they keep forcing it. Long-term successful traders rely on a counter-human execution system, not luck.
If you’re unclear about the direction, slow down—getting the path right is more important than anything else. Those who can survive and profit in the market are always the ones brave enough to act at the right moment.

That's true, but how many people stick to this system? Most still just want to get rich overnight.

ngl the "one strategy for life" thing reads a bit too clean, doesn't it? like... guy makes 8000x and suddenly everyone's supposed to believe discipline > luck?
arguably that's survivorship bias doing heavy lifting here. the sub-optimal incentive structures in retail trading mean most people chasing this playbook still end up liquidated lol.

Basically, it's just about waiting. Going from 30,000 to 80 million sounds impressive, but spread over 7 years, it's just daily review and correction. This operation is so boring.

I totally agree with not chasing hot topics. I used to fall into the trap of frequently changing strategies... Now I'm learning to focus on just one trading logic and stick with it.

Damn, this is what a real trader looks like, not the kind who blows orders every day. Discipline is truly rare.
---
That's right, those chasing hot trends tend to die the fastest. I've seen too many.
---
From 30,000 to 80 million... Just looking at these numbers, you understand what compound interest is.
---
I'm always bad at taking profits; chasing the market really destroys people.
---
I just like to hear those who don't play虚的, simple systems are the strongest.
---
If the methodology is correct, the rest is just about enduring time. The difficulty lies there.
---
I've quit gambling with full positions early on; poor mentality really makes a difference.
---
When news breaks, half the market moves. That statement hits too many people.
---
Strategically deploying in low-risk areas but daring to go all-in—this sense of balance is indeed unmatched.
---
Doing one thing for seven years... most people can't even endure through the second year.

The nice way to say it is "systematic trading," and the less nice way is to say it's a suppression of human nature. Seven years, turning 30,000 into 80 million—sounds great, but the key lies in those invisible losing trades and the boring daily reviews...

You're right, the thing is, self-discipline is too scarce.
---
Review, correct mistakes, optimize—these are all clichés, but very few people truly stick to them.
---
I have to admit, when it comes to taking profits, an improper mindset can lead to chasing battles.
---
The all-in gamble mentality has caused too many people to blow up their accounts.
---
Once the news breaks, the market has already moved halfway; this hits right in the heart.
---
It's not that I'm not trying hard; it's that I'm stubbornly stuck in the wrong direction, and I get it now.
---
The snowball effect is more resilient than a single big hit—that's the truth.
---
The "empty cup" mindset sounds simple, but actually practicing it is really difficult.
---
Watching trends without following the news requires extremely strong self-control.
---
For small funds, 1-2 targets; even with larger funds, no more than 3. This ratio is surprisingly reasonable.
