Don't remind me again today

Holding less than 2000U in your hand? Don't rush to place an order, let me finish saying a few words.



The cryptocurrency market has never been a casino where luck is the only factor. When money is tight, rules must be followed even more strictly. It's like fishing; if you're too anxious, you'll end up with nothing. I met a friend last year who had 1800U in his account, and his fingers would shake every time he placed an order—afraid that one mistake would wipe out his capital.

I told him: "What's the rush? Stick to the rules, and even small amounts can snowball." A month later, his account grew to 12,000 U. Three months? It directly broke 80,000 U. Throughout the process, he never had a liquidation, not even once.

Luck? Don't be ridiculous. It's all about ironclad discipline. These three "rules for survival and making money" are the secrets to his turnaround —

**Article 1: Split the principal and leave yourself a way out**

Split 1800U into three parts. Use 600U for day trading, focusing solely on mainstream coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum. If there's a 3%-5% fluctuation, take your profits and don't be greedy; use another 600U for swing trading, wait until the trend signals are clear before entering the market, hold for 3 to 5 days, and play it safe; finally, the last 600U? Do not touch it under any circumstances. This is your "lifesaving money", and you must not touch it, no matter how crazy the market gets.

Those who go all-in with their entire holdings feel euphoric when prices rise and anxious when they fall; how many can last long? The true winners know how to keep a card up their sleeve.

**Article 2: Follow the trend, don't waste time in fluctuations**

The market spends eighty percent of its time in a sideways grind. Frequent trading? That's not making money; it's just paying fees to the platform. If there are no signals, be patient and wait; when the opportunity comes, act decisively. Made a 12% profit? Withdraw half of the profit first; securing profits brings peace of mind for a good night's sleep.

The rhythm of a master is: as immovable as a mountain, striking with certainty. I clearly saw him double his money during that time – steadily collecting profits, never chasing highs.

**Rule Three: Rules are King, Control Your Own Hands**

Each trade should have a stop loss not exceeding 2% of the principal. Leave immediately when the stop loss point is hit, do not hesitate; if profits exceed 4%, reduce the position by half first, and let the remaining profits run; if you are losing money, absolutely do not increase your position, and never let emotions lead you.

You don't need to check the direction every time, but you must adhere to the rules every time. Making money, to put it bluntly, is about using discipline to control that restless hand.

Remember: it's not scary to have a small principal; what's scary is always thinking about a "big comeback". This market is not suitable for gamblers, but for those who truly want to survive in the long run. If you've experienced the pain of liquidation, consider starting from a review and slowly regain your rhythm.

Ha, it's the same old story again. But to be fair, discipline really works; I lost because I couldn't stick to it. --- I've heard too many stories about turning small money into big money, but the key is that I forget them right after hearing. Your fren made over 80,000 in 3 months, I bet 5 bucks and it's gone again next month. --- This split position logic is not wrong, but how many people can actually execute it? I certainly can't, it's too exhausting. --- I tell myself every day to stop loss at 2%, and then every time it ends in failure. Forget it, I've already resigned myself to it. --- To be honest, the most heart-wrenching is still that last sentence. The market is just a place that teaches people how to be human.

Wow, this guy is not wrong, turning 1800U into 80,000, I'm impressed. Wait, did his friend really never get liquidated? Why can't I believe it? Relying on discipline sounds easy, but when the account falls, who can control themselves? But speaking of which, I need to remember this 2% stop loss rule, to avoid getting trapped again.

You couldn't be more right, it's just hard to control myself, man. --- That fren is really something, 80,000 in three months? I need to learn how he did it. --- I’ve tried going all in, a bloody lesson... still need to do it in batches. --- I’ve remembered the stop loss of 2%, it’s crucial. --- The problem is that when the market moves, I just want to chase it, how can I stick to it? --- Those who know how to hide their cards really make steady profits, I just don’t have that willpower. --- The concept of emergency funds is brilliant, it should have been done this way long ago. --- I can see it right, but it's always when I'm greedy that things go wrong. --- The last sentence hit home, the gambler's mentality is the most toxic. --- Discipline > Luck, no doubt about that.

To be honest, I've heard this theory too many times, how many can really stick to it? --- Discipline sounds nice, but as soon as the coin price jumps, everyone forgets it all. --- I just want to ask, who can really hold that 600u life-saving money still? --- With all the splitting and stop loss, this approach feels more exhausting than trading itself. --- This guy went from 1800 to 80,000 in three months, how does that feel a bit surreal... --- A 2% stop loss sounds safe, but for small funds, the fees are unbearable. --- The key is still to have decent luck; in a bull run, any strategy makes money.

This theory really hits the mark. My fren went all in, and now the account has returned to the pre-liberation days, haha.

You're absolutely right, it's all about discipline; otherwise, no matter how much capital you have, it's all in vain. --- This guy speaks my mind; if a small account goes all in, that's just looking for trouble. --- I've been using the stop loss at 2% and halving my position strategy for a long time, and it has indeed helped me survive longer. --- The problem is that most people understand the rules, but when it comes to execution, they fall apart. How about you? --- From 1800 to 80,000, isn't that a story? Or is it real data? --- Frequent trading just means paying fees; that statement is too painful, that's how I got played for a sucker. --- The part about saving money is spot on; you really need to leave yourself an escape route. --- Don't rush to open a position is something I should have listened to long ago; too many people go all in and end up getting liquidated everywhere. --- Discipline sounds easy to talk about, but it's incredibly hard to act on; what's the use of just agreeing verbally? --- Not chasing the price and waiting for signals is the long-term winner's strategy.

It's this same trap again, hearing people brag about their fren going from 1800 to 80,000 every day...

To be honest, I've heard this logic too many times, but very few can actually do it. Wait, is that guy really breaking 80,000 in 3 months? I'm a bit skeptical. Discipline sounds simple, but when the market is turbulent, your hands aren't your own. He talks about risk management correctly, but is a 2% stop loss really enough in this market? A long wick candle can wipe it out in an instant. Damn, it's the same old "don't chase the price, stick to the rules" routine. If I could stick to it, I would have gotten rich long ago. That 1800 to 80,000, I just want to know which coin it was, don't tell me it was a mainstream token swinging that hard. This article is actually teaching us not to gamble, but aren't all the people entering this market gamblers? They insist on claiming they are investing. The details are solid, but the "small account doubling" for retail investors is a bit overly romanticized.
