I'm 37 this year and have been in this circle for 8 years.

I have witnessed the madness of 50,000 turning into 2.32 million in one night, and I have also experienced the pain of going bankrupt and being in debt for a month because I couldn't control myself. Now, I finally feel like I've grasped some insights.

The crypto space is not a casino. Many people say this, but I think it is more like a battlefield that requires strategy—especially when the capital is small, one must proceed with caution.

Not long ago, I brought a newcomer. His account only had 1200U, and his hands trembled every time he placed an order, afraid of losing it all in an instant. I told him: "If you follow the rules, you can make it too."

As a result, in three months, his account was down to 21,000 U, and in five months, it directly surged to 48,000 U. He never experienced a liquidation throughout the entire process.

This is not luck. It relies on three dead rules:

**The first rule, money is divided into three parts for use.**
Use 400U for short-term trades, focusing on Bitcoin and Ethereum. If there's a fluctuation of 3%-5%, take your profit; use another 400U for swing trading, wait for a clear signal before acting, and aim for stability over 3-5 days; finally, keep 400U as a reserve fund, and don't touch it even in extreme market conditions—this is your confidence for a comeback. Those who go all in will panic when prices rise and fall, and they won't get far.

**Second, only follow the trend, don't waste time on consolidation.**
The market spends 80% of the time in sideways movements, and frequent trading will only lead to paying fees. If there are no signals, just wait; when there are signals, act decisively. Take out half of the profit when you reach 15% to secure your gains.

**Rule three, rules are more important than emotions.**
The stop loss for a single trade should not exceed 3%. Once it reaches the target price, exit the position; if profits exceed 5%, reduce the position by half and let the remaining profits run; never add to a losing position—this is a hard rule.

The amount of principal has never been a problem. What is worrisome is always thinking about "a big turnaround."

From 1200U to 48,000U, it relies on rules, patience, and discipline. Most people are trapped in a vicious cycle, not because they don't work hard enough, but because they lack a guiding light.

The market is always there, and opportunities wait for no one.
