Every day only earning 10%, yet in 60 days, turning the principal into 10 times.
At that moment, I truly understood the horror of compound interest.
Honestly, at first I didn't believe in 'compound interest' at all.
Everyone was chasing big trends, chasing soaring prices, chasing overnight profits,
I was rolling slowly with a small position, like an old cadre, in a laid-back manner.
I didn’t expect that rolling in a laid-back way,
after two months, looking back——the account had increased 10 times.
It wasn't overnight wealth, but 'daily increments of 1%–10%' accumulated over time.
At the beginning, I was just afraid of losing, not wanting to earn.
My previous losses were all because of one sentence:
'If I don’t go all in on this trade, I will regret it.'
As a result, I regretted it thoroughly every time.
What really changed me was the 'three-piece set of compound interest'.
These three points you can use tomorrow, but executing them is much harder than you think:
① Just small profits every day, not chasing big trends.
My goal is not to 'eat the whole segment',
but——
only take the part that I can understand.
This saved me a lot of unnecessary losses.
② Rolling with a fixed position, not increasing the stake, not getting emotional.
In the past, I would increase my position when I made a profit and double down when I lost.
As a result, the account was like a roller coaster.
Later, I fixed my position to a set ratio,
even if today is particularly smooth, I wouldn't increase it.
On the contrary, because it’s stable, it keeps going higher.
③ Only make trades with reasons I can explain.
If you ask many newcomers why they enter the market, they can only say:
'I feel it will rise.'
'Everyone is shouting.'
'I see others making money.'
This is not trading, it's just mood.
I only make trades that I can explain in one sentence:
'Because ○○, therefore ○○.'
If it's unclear, just give up directly.
This principle transformed me from a novice into someone who lasts longer.
What truly made the principal surge 10 times is not an extremely high win rate,
but——
not making big mistakes + continuous accumulation of small profits.
Compound interest does not change you overnight,
it’s suddenly one day when you look back and get startled by yourself.
If you always struggle to maintain a steady pace, you might actually try a different approach.
It might be helpful to understand how others do it.
