#数字资产动态追踪 From 1200U to 38,000U, here are the trading survival rules I’ve summarized
Don’t ask me who I am, and don’t bother with those fancy titles—I'm just an old trader who’s been through the ups and downs in the crypto world and tasted liquidation.
Compared to all those complicated technical indicators and theoretical systems, I value practical experience gained through actual trading more.
Last year, someone approached me with only 1200U in their account, wanting to recover previous losses. I didn’t lecture him on any advanced theories; I simply shared three proven capital management rules. He stuck to them for three months, and in the end, his account grew to 38,000U, all without a single liquidation.
**First Rule: Three-Part Capital Allocation**
Divide 1200U into three equal parts, each 400U, and treat them independently—never mix them.
The first part is for intraday volatility—open no more than 2 positions per day, and after completing trades, close the trading software immediately—don’t stare at the screen hoping to add more.
The second part waits for trends—stay flat if the weekly chart doesn’t show a clear bullish structure or if key levels haven’t been broken with volume. Patience is key to catching the trend.
The third part is for emergencies—when extreme volatility threatens the principal, use this fund to add positions and stabilize the situation, ensuring the account isn’t wiped out completely.
**Second Rule: Trend Entry Method**
Only act when three signals are present; otherwise, stay put.
The basic requirement is that the daily moving averages are in a bullish alignment—if not, don’t consider entering.
When the price breaks above previous highs with increased volume and the daily close holds above the new high, then try small positions for testing—don’t go all-in right away.
When profits reach 30% of the principal, take half of the gains proactively. For the remaining part, set a trailing stop at 10% to let profits run freely.
**Third Rule: Emotional Control**
Write down your trading plan before entering—set a stop-loss at exactly 3%, and once triggered, close automatically—don’t leave room for false hopes.
When you make a 10% profit, immediately move your stop-loss from the entry point to the breakeven point—this locks in risk and preserves upside potential.
Close your computer promptly at midnight every night. If you can’t sleep, just uninstall the app—completely cut off emotional trading.
The market is always there, but if your funds are gone, there’s no chance to bounce back.
These three rules aren’t complicated, but very few can actually follow through and outperform most retail traders. The key is to treat discipline as equally important as technical skills.
I only share the real paths I’ve walked; no fluff, no pie-in-the-sky promises. If you want to change your situation and find a stable profit approach, ultimately, it depends on your own execution ability.

Honestly, I know all three sets of rules, but it's just too hard to execute... I always end up just watching the screen, thinking about taking the last hit.
Uninstalling the app is a brilliant move; I need to try it.
There are too many people who understand the rules, and the amount of money made is so limited. The difference lies in whether that 3% stop-loss can really be pressed.
Turning 1200 into 38,000 sounds great, but I don't know what happened to that guy later. Whether it was luck or real skill, avoiding liquidation is impressive.
The most important thing is to have that spirit. I don't have the patience to write trading plans every day.

In these three months, looking at this guy's execution, discipline is really worth much more than talent.
That move of uninstalling the app was brilliant... so many people just ruin themselves by suddenly wanting to add to their position at night.
It seems like everyone is right, but in reality, only a very small number can actually do it.

ngl the three-split method hits different when you actually stick to it... seen too many miners blow their entire hashrate on one bad epoch lol

To be honest, I've heard similar things before, but no one has really been able to stick with it.
The key is to ask yourself: can you really cut the 3% stop-loss?
