Last year, I met a guy who had 1800U in his hand and came to me saying he wanted to learn some "real stuff".

I thought to myself: Here comes another one looking for a thrill. I didn't expect that three months later, this guy actually grew his account to 80,000 U, without ever blowing up his position.

$PIPPIN You asked me if he is a born trader? To be honest, I don't think so. His success today relies entirely on three unwavering principles.

**① Divide the money into three parts, this is not a skill but fate**

I've seen too many people put all their savings on a single trade. When it goes up, they're so excited they can't sleep, and when it goes down, they want to smash their phones.

Veterans don't do this kind of thing.

$TNSR The plan I gave him is very simple and straightforward - split 1800U into three parts:

- 600U for intraday short trading: open a maximum of one position per day, and if unsure, it's better not to act.
- 600U for swing trading: Don't touch the mouse with your fingers before the trend appears.
- 600U as ballast: it won't easily budge even in rough seas.

With this method of dividing, he avoided several rounds of bloodshed. He preserved his capital, which led to the subsequent story.

**② Don't think about taking it all; just having a fish belly is enough**

The crypto market mostly drags on, with sideways movement that makes people anxious. Newbies are most likely to get itchy and frequently open positions.

A little bit of the fee is worn off, a false breakthrough traps you, chasing orders emotionally hits again - it's more damaging than a single crash.

I have explained a principle to him: $PARTI

When there is no market, just pretend to be blind; when the market comes, act decisively.

Earn more than 20% in a single transaction? Sell in batches immediately. Don't compete with the market; it doesn't owe you anything.

Recently, during the ZEC market surge, he took a 30% profit midway and ran. No dragging things out, no greed for the last bite.

**③ Put your feelings away - you're not here to fall in love**

The market will not give you face just because you are nervous, nor will it surprise you just because you have expectations.

The iron rule I set for him:

- Lose 2%, immediately cut losses and leave.
- Earn 4%, must reduce positions to lock in profits

At first, he couldn't adapt and thought cutting losses was too painful. But now he tells me: "Bro, my heart rate is steady when watching the market now, cutting losses doesn't hurt, and holding positions isn't panic-inducing."

In the crypto world, to put it bluntly, the ones who survive until the end are not necessarily the smartest, but those who follow the rules.

If you still get itchy when you see fluctuations now, are led by your emotions, and constantly think about making a big turnaround in your mind—

The market will eventually make you pay tuition.

Think it through before coming. Remember this: **Only by protecting your principal can you qualify to discuss profits.**
