I've seen too many people in the crypto world lose everything through reckless trading.
Recently, a trader came to learn from me. His account had only about 3,000 USDT left, with his original capital of over 20,000 almost wiped out. I gave him a new approach: keep single-position control below 30%, take profits at 10%-15%, and cut losses immediately if they exceed 4%. Avoid uncertain market conditions altogether.
At first, he found it hard to adapt to this rhythm, but he persisted. Every night, he reviewed his trades—what decisions were correct, what mistakes he made. After three months, his account grew from over 3,000 to nearly 40,000. He later said, "This is really not luck; discipline saved me."
Someone asked me, in markets like $BTC and $ETH, what is the hardest part? My answer is always the same: it's not technical analysis, not information sensitivity, nor innate talent, but whether you can stick to discipline and maintain your rhythm.
Many people have used my "Position Scaling System," and the results are quite obvious. Basically, it boils down to these four points:
**First, diversify your positions** Control single-position exposure to 20%-30%. Even if you completely go against the trend on one trade, your account still has buffer space and won't be wiped out instantly.
**Second, take profits quickly** Close positions once you gain 10%-15%. Don't always think about turning one trade into ten times the profit. Cut losses at 3%-4% to prevent giving the market more opportunities to take your money.
**Third, follow the trend, don't gamble** Forget about bottom fishing or trying to top out. Wait until the trend is clear before acting. It may seem "slow," but it’s actually the most reliable approach.
**Fourth, reflect in front of the mirror every day** Review each trade of the day, adjust your strategy and entry points promptly. The power of discipline is built gradually through this daily accumulation.
The market is constantly changing, but ironclad discipline always applies. Most people can't turn things around not because they lack opportunities, but because their mindset and methods stay stagnant. Conversely, those who truly execute—using small funds to steadily build their positions—can, over time, gradually carve out their own profit curve.

Honestly, discipline is easy to talk about but really hard to practice.

Discipline is truly the only way out; there are no shortcuts.

It's easy to say, but most people still can't change their greedy habits.
---
I've tried this method, and it is indeed stable, but executing it is extremely difficult.
---
Hearing that 3,000x can turn into 40,000x is exciting, but how long do you have to hold to achieve a tenfold increase?
---
The key is that most people simply can't endure the process of review and reflection.
---
With interest rate cuts coming, do we need to readjust our strategies again?
---
There are many people who understand these principles, but few actually do it.
---
I've never been good at sticking to a 4% stop-loss; I always think it will rebound.
---
Instead of listening to these, it's better to accept the loss and cut the position directly.

Discipline is easy to talk about but hard to practice; most people are still greedy and attempt to swallow the elephant.

That's so true, discipline is really a game-changer.
