The importance of discipline is often drowned out by the noise of market predictions.

A few weeks ago, a friend reached out for help—his account had only a few hundred USDT left, in a situation even more brutal than a bear market. He blushed and asked me, "Is there still a chance to turn things around?"

I didn't talk to him about candlestick theories; I just told him one honest truth: "It can turn around, but you need to change your rhythm." Half a month later, his screenshot made my phone heat up—the account jumped to six figures, and his voice message was filled with uncontrollable excitement.

Many people say this is luck. But I know very well that the logic behind it is actually very simple—three seemingly low-skill methodologies.

**First Trick: Small Entry, Secure Your Position**

When the market shows signs of movement, most people either wait and watch or go all-in at once. But what is the correct approach? Enter with about 15% of your total funds.

The value of this step isn't in immediate profit but in ensuring you're "in the game." Crypto market fluctuations are always present; what’s scarce is patience and positioning. While others are still debating "Is this a trap?" you’re already at the table. When the wind truly comes, you won’t be left behind.

How to do it? Find spare funds that don’t affect your daily life—say, 10-20% of your total assets—and gradually convert them into core assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum. Never use leverage, and avoid chasing obscure altcoins. The goal is simple: stay in the game.

**Second Trick: Use Profits to Add Positions, Keep Principal Unchanged**

Once the trend is confirmed, many traders fall into madness. Some start adding aggressively, even borrowing money to increase positions. That’s when the biggest crashes happen.

The correct approach is: only use the profits already earned to add to your position, leaving the principal untouched.

For example, if you initially invested 10,000 USDT and your account grows to 12,000, you’ve earned 2,000. At this point, the amount you add should be at most 30% of the profit—so, 600. What’s the benefit? You always have an escape route. The principal remains, and your mindset stays stable, avoiding panic selling during a correction.

Many people lose everything because they lack this safety net. They chase high with their principal, and once the trend reverses, they get wiped out.

**Third Trick: Set Discipline, More Valuable Than Prediction**

The last and most crucial step—set rules for yourself and stick to them.

These rules include: where is your stop-loss, what is your target profit, when should you reduce your position. Many dislike stop-losses, thinking it means "getting cut." But the truth is, small stop-losses protect you from a major wipeout.

Once rules are set, don’t let emotions override them. This is difficult, especially when markets are volatile and various voices are saying "it will go higher" or "it’s going to crash." But in these moments, discipline is more valuable.

I’ve seen too many smart people—analytical, highly sensitive to information—still fall because of poor execution. Conversely, those who may not be the smartest but stick to discipline tend to go further.

The rebound opportunities in crypto markets are always there, but they’re not something you can catch through prediction. It’s about positioning, position management, and calm execution. All three are indispensable. Many believe they just need a "killer move" to turn things around. But sometimes, the "dumb method" is the real path to victory.
