Someone asked me for the secret in the middle of the night, and sent over a screenshot of their account—tripling from 6,000 to 58,000 in three months. I just replied: "There’s no real secret, just these two tricks: 'Iron discipline + compound interest effect.' If you want to survive long in this circle, you have to think in reverse."

Today, I want to open up and talk about practical experiences. What you can learn depends entirely on whether you can control that hand that wants to 'go all in.' The winners in this market are all about the skill of 'staying alive,' not luck.

**Position division is the first step**

I’ve seen too many people shout 'full position,' only to lose everything in a week. Once the principal is gone, no matter how many methods you have, it’s useless. My approach is actually simple: split into three parts:

**Daily position (1/3):** At most one trade per day, exit after 3-5% profit. This is used to cover daily expenses, focusing on stability.

**Swing position (1/3):** Only move once every half month, waiting for confirmation signals of major market moves. No signals, no action. The return from this money is to improve your life.

**Bottom reserve (1/3):** Do not touch at all. No matter how bad the market is, this money must be locked in—this is your capital for a comeback.

Remember this: surviving always comes before making money. Protecting your principal is the iron law.

**80% of the market is noise**

Most of the time, this market fluctuates randomly. The real opportunities to make money are no more than one-fifth of the time. Many people keep their eyes glued to the screen, trading too frequently, losing money faster, and ultimately just paying transaction fees to the exchange.

Industry experts mostly wait. My trading checklist requires three conditions to be met before acting—that’s true discipline.

**Compound interest is the ultimate weapon**

Don’t think about doubling your money every time you make a profit. Let the profits speak for themselves, accumulating little by little. Turning 6,000 into 58,000 relies on this 'snowball effect.' Stick to this approach, and after a year or two, the numbers will surprise you.

On the flip side, many failures come from greed. Always thinking about the next bigger gain, only to be wiped out by a market wave.

**Mindset is more valuable than technique**

Look at those veteran players who have survived a long time— their skills aren’t necessarily extraordinary, but their mental toughness is incredible. They can resist temptation, stay calm in fear. These things can’t be taught in textbooks; you can only learn through repeated lessons in the market.

One last thing: don’t ask me when to bottom fish or which coin to buy. Most people asking that aren’t ready yet. First, get your discipline and mindset in order. When the opportunity comes, you’ll naturally be able to seize it.
