Many people enter the crypto world with the hope of overnight wealth, only to find themselves wiped out overnight. The reality is that 90% of people are actually not suited to make money in this market because they lack the most basic trait—trading calmly like a robot.
A fan used a principal of 1500U and three core strategies, and managed to turn it into 45,000U in just three months, without ever getting liquidated once. The logic behind this seems simple to many, but very few actually execute it consistently.
**Level 1: Positioning is the foundation for survival**
How to split 1500U? Divide it into three parts, each 500U. The first part is for intraday short-term trading—only chasing one opportunity per day, exiting immediately once the target is reached, and never greedily adding more. The second part is for swing trading—making a move once every ten days or half a month, waiting for major trend fluctuations. The third part is for the base position—regardless of market ups and downs, sitting tight as a safeguard for survival.
Compare this to full-position traders—the market drops by a certain percentage and triggers forced liquidation, with no chance to talk about profits. In the crypto world, surviving is the first lesson; doubling your capital is a secondary goal.
**Level 2: Capture confirmed trends, avoid sideways churning**
80% of the market time is spent in sideways consolidation. Frequent trading during this period is just self-consuming capital. The smart approach is to wait for a clear trend to establish before taking action. Once you act, understand the entire trend thoroughly. Another key point: realize profits promptly. When gains exceed 20%, take out 30% of the profit—this is true "safe harvesting." Experienced traders don’t trade every day; they observe long-term. Once they act, they aim to capture the entire cycle’s gains.
**Level 3: Use rules to suppress emotions**
The biggest killer in trading is emotion-driven decisions. Establish three ironclad rules: first, set a 2% stop-loss—once triggered, exit immediately, leaving no room for hesitation; second, start reducing positions at 4% profit to lock in some gains; third, prohibit adding to positions—over-averaging increases the risk of being trapped, and emotional trading destroys the entire plan.
Those who can manage their emotions well will naturally receive positive market feedback, and their capital will grow steadily according to rules, rather than fluctuating wildly with emotions.
Opportunities in the crypto world are always present; what’s scarce are those who live long enough to seize them. Are you willing to set rules for yourself?
