Last week, I met a seasoned trader with over ten years of experience.
I saw firsthand how he operates—using a capital of 30,000 yuan, he turned it into over 80 million in 7 years. The numbers sound exaggerated, but I believe there's something even more worth noting.
He doesn't chase hot trends and rarely pays attention to market news. His entire trading framework is so simple it’s almost unbelievable.
After chatting for a few hours, I broke down the underlying logic that allows him to consistently navigate bull and bear markets.
**Point 1: Extreme Focus**
He doesn't obsess over a bunch of technical indicators, nor does he frequently change his trading strategies. Every day, he does just three things: review the market, identify mistakes, and improve execution.
He claims he's lucky, but in reality, what’s truly scarce is the discipline to stick to one direction for many years. Most people can't do that.
**Point 2: Giving Up on Chasing Hot Topics**
You rarely see him chasing trending sectors or narratives. For MEME coins, meme tokens, and such, he participates selectively, only engaging in clear and straightforward opportunities.
He’s very straightforward: rely on things you can confirm to snowball your gains, and don’t bet everything on one big shot. When market conditions change, he makes slight adjustments, but his core cognitive framework remains unchanged.
**Point 3: Position Control**
With small funds, he only focuses on 1 to 2 targets. Once his capital grows, he doesn’t hold more than 3 core positions. Through continuous adjustments—adding or reducing positions—he gradually lowers his overall cost basis. It’s not about going all-in on one shot.
**Point 4: Methodology of Operation**
When analyzing direction, he focuses on structure, trend, and capital flow—big-picture elements. For actual entries and exits, he uses short cycles. He completely abandons the retail mindset of "buying based on news." By the time news is out, the market trend has already played out.
**Point 5: Constant Learning**
He doesn’t favor any particular school of thought. He studies various approaches but only adopts what suits him. Every loss is treated as a learning fee, never self-pity.
**A Few Tips for Small Capital Players:**
Speed is key—once your goal is reached, take profits and don’t entangle with the market.
Maintain a steady mindset—position yourself well in low-risk areas.
Be decisive—when a truly good opportunity arises, dare to go all-in.
You’ll find that many people who don’t make money aren’t because they don’t try hard. It’s because they keep torturing themselves with the wrong methods. Those traders who can survive long enough never rely on luck; they depend on a complete, counter-human execution system.

To be honest, that old-timer's approach is a real compound interest machine. I respect the fact that he doesn't chase hot topics. I used to read the news every day too, but I ended up getting stuck.

After hearing that, I was directly overwhelmed. This guy just summarized my seven years of detours in one go.

That's right, but the concern is that even after knowing, you still can't change your retail investor mindset, constantly chasing news and hot topics every day.

It sounds like a game of self-discipline and patience; most people simply can't stick with it.
That's right, retail investors lose money because they always want to take shortcuts.
30,000 to 80 million? This guy is really ruthless, but what's even more impressive is his self-control.
What I admire most is not chasing hot topics; it truly tests human nature.
Execution is the biggest moat; knowing and doing are worlds apart.

Ha, no kidding, people with poor execution will never learn.

Raising from 30,000 to 80 million sounds unbelievable, but the key is that kind of determination... I really lack that.
---
All this nonsense, it’s just greed acting up, knowing what’s easy but doing what’s hard.
---
I respect giving up on hot topics the most. Honestly, those chasing memes are all suicidal trades.
---
So, if you’re not making money, don’t blame the market. First, check how well you’re executing.
---
I’ve understood this set of principles for a long time, but I just can’t hold back my hands; as soon as I see a rise, I want to sell.
---
Position control is explained perfectly, but unfortunately, nine out of ten people still go all-in after hearing it.

Let me ask, who among you has truly stuck to one direction for over a year?
