#以太坊行情技术解读 From 1,000 to 23,000, how long did it take?

Honestly, the process wasn't as long as you think, but it was much more difficult than you imagined.

The hardest part is never waiting for the market to turn, but being able to hold your own hand down.

When I entered, I only had 1,000 dollars. I understand one principle very clearly: with such a small principal, the most fatal mistake is not misjudgment, but "frequent reckless moves."

On the first day, I only invested 300 dollars to test the waters. Facing a 14% fluctuation, I only ended up with a few dozen dollars. But this step was crucial—I wasn't aiming to make money, my real goal was to understand the temperament of this wave of the market.

On the second day, I increased to 500 dollars. I held a position patiently, waiting almost two hours before acting. The market initially rose slowly, then, driven by FOMO, it surged, overall gaining 9%. The number isn't huge, but my feel for the market stabilized, and the direction was correct—that's the most valuable part.

True compound growth started from the third day.

I set a strict rule for myself: only use profits to trade, never touch the principal. If the trend is favorable, add to the position; if it's against, close out. This is the core of compound trading—"using profits to gamble, never risking the principal."

From the third to the sixth day, I captured three key upward moves. Each segment returned between 8%-20%. It doesn't seem spectacular, but the key is that profits compound, and positions compound. The account grew like this: 1,000 → 2,800 → 5,700.

By the seventh day, I moved 3,000 dollars to a safe place, leaving only 2,700 in the account to continue trading. Many people can't understand this decision, but those who master compound trading in the later stages will typically perform "regular take profits + light position continuation."

From days 8 to 11, it was a phase of full profit release. The market kept giving opportunities, positions kept increasing, with breakthroughs in mainstream coins, altcoins catching up, and emotional swings—nothing was missed. The account grew from 2,700 to 11,000.

And the final step from 11,000 to 15,000? It all came down to one word: "Patience."

Holding back from impulsively trading, resisting the excitement of seeing numbers grow, and staying calm amid volatility. I waited three whole days just for a "fast and precise" secondary breakout opportunity. After 15 minutes of entry, I gained 17%. When I exited, the account jumped to 15,000.

From 1,000 to 15,000, that’s the whole process.

There are only three things to master:

First: Use small positions to explore the trend

Second: Use the profits to increase positions

Third: When the cycle aligns perfectly, focus all your efforts

You’ll find that in the later stages, compound trading works like a chain reaction. The beginning relies on "stability," the middle on "accuracy," and the end on "aggression."

The same strategy, doing it once might be called luck, but doing it ten times in a row is true skill.
