I guided a student who used $ZEC to grow an account from 3,000 U to 137,000 U. The biggest takeaway from the process is—making money is about methodology, not recklessness.

**Follow the trend, avoid betting on volatility**

The biggest pitfall in the crypto world is losing money during sideways markets. Our strategy is straightforward: only enter on a breakout with volume, avoid pre-positioning, and don’t bet against the trend. During that $ETH rally, he prepared his position in advance, rode the trend all the way, and doubled his account. The key is patience—waiting for the right moment—rather than frequent trading.

**Use profits to compound profits**

I set strict rules for him: only risk 5% on the first entry for trial, and consider adding positions only when profits exceed 50%. Never use principal to gamble on the next move. He once wanted to cut losses to recover, but I stopped him, and as a result, his account steadily grew. That’s the power of discipline.

**Partial take profits to ride the full trend**

Many people close all positions once they make a profit, only to see the market continue rising and regret it. He learned to lock in half of the profits first, keep some positions to follow the trend, and leave a small portion to let profits run freely. This approach increased his earnings by 30%.

The current market rhythm is very suitable for swing trading and rolling positions. Making money is never about gambling everything at once, but about trend judgment combined with disciplined execution, gradually building profits. This is the underlying logic that allowed him to grow from 3,000 U to 137,000 U.
