Honestly, I'm not here to show off my results; I just want to tell you a fact—making money in the crypto world has never been about luck, but about mindset and methodology.



I’ve seen an account start with 1200U and grow to 29,000U in three months, now stable above 58,000U. Do you know what's the most impressive? Not a single liquidation along the way. This isn’t a story; it’s a trading rule tested with real money.

Survive first, then talk about making money.

What’s the most common way to die? Going all-in in one shot. Players like that all end up as nutrients for the market.

My approach is very straightforward: divide your capital into three parts.

First part: day trading—look for opportunities where you can take a profit quickly and then exit, mainly focusing on highly liquid assets like BNB. Only do one trade per day; take profits immediately and never hold on to a winning position too long.

Second part: swing trading—this requires patience. There might be no signals for ten days or half a month, but when the time comes, aim for the big trend. Coins like ETH with solid fundamentals are especially suitable.

Third part: core holding—this is the last line of defense. No matter how much it crashes, don’t move. Only use this fund in extreme situations.

The logic is simple: if you can’t protect your capital, how can you turn things around?

Waiting is the highest form of trading.

80% of the time in crypto is sideways trading. Trading frequently during these dead times? That’s just giving away fees to the exchange.

What do true experts do? Very simple—do nothing. When the trend isn’t there, stay put. Once the trend forms, strike precisely. When profits reach over 20%, take out 30% immediately; locking in profits ensures that the money is yours.

Look at those who trade fewer than ten times a year—each trade can last half a year’s worth of gains. That’s the rhythm of top players.

Use rules to kill emotions.

The biggest killer for retail traders isn’t the market, but their own emotions. Greed makes you hold onto profits too long; fear makes you cut losses too early.

Set strict rules for yourself:

Stop-loss at 2%—cut immediately when hit, don’t blink. Don’t hope for a rebound; the market never favors luck.

Take profit at 4%—start reducing your position to lock in gains. Don’t expect to sell at the highest point—that’s a fantasy.

Never add to losing positions—averaging down has ruined many. That’s not strategy; that’s digging your own grave.

The essence of making money is to let your capital operate automatically within clear rules, not be driven by greed and fear.

From 1200U to 58,000U, it all boils down to four words: lock in risk, let profits flow naturally. This logic has been tested on BNB, ETH, and other mainstream coins, with consistent results.

Sounds right, but I still believe more in fate.

Someone should have said this so straightforwardly long ago—stop with the empty talk.

That's right, survival is the top priority. --- All-in players have become nourishment, that hits hard. --- I also use this position-splitting method, it’s definitely more stable. --- Wait, 2% stop-loss sounds too strict. --- Ten trades a year, how much patience does that require? --- The question is, who can really stay still? --- The analogy of 80% sideways trading giving away fees is brilliant. --- I understand the core position now, it’s the safety net. --- Reducing position by 4% feels like it’s easy to miss out. --- Mindset is the hardest part, much more difficult than technical skills.

That's right, really don't go all-in. I've seen too many people go all-in in one shot and get eliminated immediately.

It really hits home, but I still believe that 99% of people can't achieve this level of self-discipline.

I've been using this three-part methodology for a while, but my execution isn't strong enough; I always want to go all-in in one shot.

Listen, three legal documents are truly excellent. That's how I do it, and now I sleep very soundly. --- I have to praise the 2% stop-loss rule; too many people die from overconfidence. --- Ten trades a year? I believe it, the rest of the time is for relaxing and watching the show. --- Those who go all-in definitely deserve to be sent to the nutrient pool, no problem. --- The section on core holdings is written so well, it really is the final reassurance. --- 80% of the time spent sideways giving trading platforms fees, it pains me to see it. --- From 1200 to 58,000, that number sounds comfortable, and the key is never to have a margin call? --- Rules kill emotions; this phrase must be engraved in my mind. --- Reducing positions by 30% and taking profits is much more reliable than trying to sell at the highest point. --- I appreciate the phrase "not fighting battles"; knowing when to retreat is true skill.

Honestly, I've heard this theory too many times, but I haven't seen many that make it to the end.
