Starting with 100U, now on the 16th day, the account funds have reached 106.5U. The process hasn't been smooth.

Yesterday's trading was a bit messy—both long and short positions on SOL triggered stop-losses, and I once again fell into the same trap as before. Clearly making a profit of over ten dollars, but then turning around and giving it back—this feeling is especially frustrating. It sounds simple, but is compound interest really that hard to achieve? Profits seem to have become a luxury.

Have you ever thought about using high leverage and heavy positions to go all in? But the reality is, I have no idea if that's the right move. In the end, I decided to stick to my original strategy: every trade has a stop-loss, hold the position, and aim for 1.5 to 2 times the stop-loss as the target. Future operations must be more cautious—no more impulsive trades.

This might not be the most aggressive approach, but at least it's the one that keeps me alive the longest.

SOL-0,35%

16 days at 6.5U, spread out over less than half a U per day. Such compound interest speed is going to take forever. Honestly, both long and short positions hitting stop-losses is really uncomfortable, but impulsively opening trades is even more deadly. The gambler's mentality is exactly how you step by step head towards liquidation. Living longer > living faster. That's true, but it also depends on how the market moves. Sometimes a conservative strategy can't withstand a big drop. Your attitude seems quite clear-headed, at least you’re not brainwashed by high leverage. Keep holding on. 6.5U doesn't sound like much, but let's see if the market gives opportunities. There are still opportunities with SOL in this wave. Just stick to your bottom line, don’t let FOMO break your composure. Compound interest is a long-term game, but the premise is to survive until that day. Your current approach can barely be considered correct.

Living long is the key, that's how I made it through --- Stop using high leverage, brother, that's a fast track to losing money --- 16 days and 6.5U, honestly not a loss, just afraid of getting itchy --- Stop-loss is easy to say but hard to do, few actually follow through --- SOL has been really frustrating these days, both bullish and bearish are exploding, truly despairing --- Looking at your pace, you're still in the game, some have already been cleared out --- The key is attitude, don't think about getting rich overnight --- Slowly compound, living longer than rushing for quick gains

Earned 6.5U in 16 days. The pace is steady, just worried about getting itchy again.

16 days 6.5U, steady and stable, but the returns are really disappointing. --- I also experienced the wave in SOL, feeling both long and short positions hit stop-loss... Really want to smash the screen. --- High leverage is just a gambler's mentality, don't touch it. Just look at how many people have blown up their accounts. --- Living longer is indeed more appealing than quick wealth, but the problem is how long it takes to truly turn things around with this strategy. --- Restless hands are the biggest enemy in trading; I often get caught in the crossfire too. --- Compound interest sounds simple in theory but is really hard to execute. The 6.5U growth feels a bit suffocating. --- Not opening random trades is more important than anything else; it’s worth more than any high leverage.

Earned 6.5U in 16 days, this mindset is good, as long as you don't get liquidated, you're a winner. The most painful profit to realize is the profit you give up, but stop-loss saves your life. High leverage? Don't even think about it, the dream of getting rich quickly shatters fast. Living longer > earning quickly, this is the correct approach. A steady strategy is the only way to laugh last; rushing is not the answer. Actually, you already understand, it's all about execution. Compound interest is just a process of repeatedly avoiding liquidation. While others chase high leverage and get liquidated, you're still growing steadily and winning.
