Right before a major exchange collapsed last year, I cashed out and exited the market. This April, I caught a 30x on $PEPE by getting in early, but what really transformed my account was a series of trades last summer—starting with $21,300 in capital, I grew it to $117,000 in three months.
It wasn’t luck, it was methodology.
My compounding strategy is simple:
Let’s talk leverage—3x max. I only use 20% of my funds for each position. Slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Staying steady is the key to going far.
Picking assets takes skill—focus on altcoins with over 15% intraday volatility, especially during the US/EU time zone from 1-3am, when the market is wildest and rebounds are easiest to catch.
Position sizing follows a pyramid approach: After the first trade gains 30%, add another 13% to the position, up to three rounds. This keeps lowering your average entry, letting you ride the trend to the max.
But survival rules matter even more:
Drawdown over 5%? Close the position and take a 12-hour break—don’t fight the market.
When volatility spikes late at night, use a trailing take profit. Once profits are locked in, don’t let go.
One other trick—when funding rates soar past 0.3%, open a position in the opposite direction. This move helped me dodge three major pitfalls.
It took me seven liquidations to realize: compounding isn’t about gambling or going all-in, it’s about managing rhythm and enforcing discipline.
Crypto is a deep game, but with the right methods, doubling up really isn’t that hard.

It took blowing up my account 7 times to finally understand; this story is pretty real. But as for watching the market from 1 to 3 a.m., I really can't do it.

Only after getting liquidated 7 times did I finally get it. Guess that's the price of tuition, haha.

Wait, you only figured it out after getting liquidated 7 times? Why does this theory feel a bit like hindsight wisdom to me?

ngl the "blew up 7 times then became a genius" arc is peak crypto twitter energy. technically speaking, survivorship bias goes brrr but sure let's pretend risk management is a personality trait

It took you 7 liquidations to figure it out? I’ve already been liquidated 11 times and I’m still trying to figure it out, haha.

It took 7 liquidations to finally get it—this experience was really costly.
