Last year, a fren came to me with 1800U asking if I could take him to play contracts. To be honest, I didn't have high hopes at the time, after all, this amount of capital is really nothing in the crypto world. As a result, in less than three months, this guy's account balance soared to 80,000U, and—he never blew up his position even once.

You might think he's lucky or has insider information? Neither. If I had to say where he wins, it's one word: execution. The three iron rules I told him, he really followed them to the letter.

**Rule 1: Split your positions, don't go all in**

The most common mistake beginners make is going all in. When the price rises, they get so excited that they can't sleep, and when it falls, they stare at the K-line, doubting life. I told him to split his 1800U into three parts: 600U for day trading, with a maximum of one trade per day, and to stop immediately if he makes a mistake; another 600U for swing trading, avoiding it if the trend is unclear; and the last 600U is for emergency funds, which should not be touched under any circumstances. With this strategy, he was completely unharmed during that market crash.

**Rule 2: Don't think about eating the whole fish, the meat in the middle is the most delicious**

The crypto world mostly tests people's patience, staring at the market every day and making random moves? With fees and fake breakouts, you can wipe out your account. I told him: when it's sideways, just take a break, and act only when a real opportunity comes. When the position's profit exceeds 20%, pocket some profit first, don’t try to outmatch the market. Last week during that ZEC wave, he steadily captured a 30% increase in the middle, timing his exit perfectly.

**Article 3: Trade like a robot, discard emotions**

I directly told him: "You are here to make money, not to fall in love." I set strict rules for him: if the loss reaches 2%, cut losses immediately, no hesitation; if the profit reaches 4%, he must reduce his position, no fighting. At first, he was also conflicted, but now he tells me that his mindset while watching the market is very stable, cut losses when it is time to cut, hold positions when it is time to hold, completely calm.

This market is actually quite fair. It's not the smartest people who make money, but those who are the most disciplined. If you still get an itch to trade whenever you see fluctuations, relying solely on your instincts and constantly thinking about making a fortune overnight, the market will eventually teach you a lesson.

Still running around chaotically? First, think clearly that "playing by the rules" is more important than anything else, and then talk about other things.
