Friends who just clicked in, don't start with complaints. Today, I won't talk about motivational stories; I'll share a real trading story— I have a complete novice in my hands, starting with 1200U, reaching 50,000U in three months, all without ever blowing up the account. She's not a genius, she just firmly stuck to the three ironclad rules I have emphasized repeatedly over the years. If you truly follow them, avoiding three years of detours is not just talk.
**First Trick: Divide eggs into three baskets; survival is more important than making money**
The most foolish thing beginners do is full-position all-in, and a market fluctuation can wipe everything out. I told her to split the 1200U into three parts, each with its own purpose:
- **Intraday Quick Trades (400U):** Only make one trade per day, exit after earning 2%, cut losses immediately at 1.5%. Don’t be greedy, don’t stay up all night, just make some pocket money.
- **Weekly Heavy Positions (400U):** Only look at the weekly chart, for example, only go long if Bitcoin's weekly chart stays above the MA30; if there's no signal, stay flat. Most of the time, stay idle; only trade 20% of the time actively. This way, frequent trading won't eat away at the principal.
- **Hard Wallet Backup (400U):** Directly transfer to a hardware wallet, lock the keys away with family. Never move unless the account is completely blown up. This money acts as a psychological anchor, helping you stay steady when trading.
This approach, frankly, is about using rules to restrain impulsiveness. Most people losing money aren’t because of poor skills, but because they can't control their principal.
**Second Trick: Only chase "trend dividends"; lying flat and winning is the king**
Opportunities in the crypto world are piled up, but so are the pitfalls. The key is to recognize what to engage with and what to avoid. I told her to memorize one rule: if the 4-hour moving average hasn't risen above 30 degrees, treat it as consolidation, don’t even bother looking.
