Crypto market turnaround doesn't rely on luck, it depends on survival.
Two months ago, a trader's account had only $1,800 remaining. Reflecting after liquidation helped him find a method. After sticking with it for a full 60 days, his account rebounded from the bottom. What's the key? Divide the money into three parts, each $600, each with its own role.
**The allocation logic is very simple**
Short-term part of $600: at most two trades per day, cut losses at the first sign of trouble, no bargaining. Trend part of $600: if the weekly chart isn't showing an uptrend, stay flat, don't get itchy. Emergency fund of $600: specifically for extreme market conditions, replenish immediately on the day of liquidation to ensure you have chips.
It's like an amputation analogy—fingers can grow back if cut off, but if the head is gone, the game is over. Never go all-in on a single bet.
**Capture the most valuable part of market volatility**
The market is like a meat grinder; most of the time, you shouldn't be inside it. How to judge? Three simple rules: if moving averages aren't in a bullish arrangement, stay out; only consider entering when volume breaks previous highs and the daily close confirms; when profits reach 30% of the principal, immediately take half profits, and set a trailing stop at 10% on the remaining position.
The next train will come, no need to panic at the station.
**"Life and death agreement" before entering**
Stop loss at 5%, automatic liquidation at the set time, no room for negotiation. When profits reach 10%, move the stop loss to the cost basis, and the remaining gains are the market's gift.
Turning $1,800 into $30,000 isn't some trading magic, it's about "making fewer mistakes." Contracts, spot trading, wave theory, technical indicators—all need to be learned. But the prerequisite is to survive.
If you can't survive, you're just a tool paying fees to the exchange. In the crypto world, wealth doesn't belong to the fastest runner, but to those who can persist until the end.

Basically, staying alive is the most important thing; everything else is just details.

The gist is simple: you need to stay alive to win.
---
1800 to 30,000 sounds impressive, but honestly it’s just about not being greedy and cutting losses quickly.
---
Full position trading is really just about making money; there's nothing more to say.
---
"I'll always catch the next bus"—I need that tattoo, it really saves my life.
---
A 5% stop-loss automatically closes the position; it sounds simple but it’s deadly to implement, yet it truly helps you survive the longest.
---
The "meat grinder" theory is indeed absolute; most of the time, you should just sleep and not mess around.
---
Watching 1800 to 30,000, I feel like all my previous margin calls were just brain farts.
---
Short-term 600, trend 600, emergency 600—why do I always feel like I can't do such simple things?
---
"Can't survive, just a tool," this hits hard. Think about it from a different perspective.
---
If the weekly chart doesn’t go up, just lie flat. It’s easy to say, but when you get itchy, who can resist?
---
Take profit at 30%, sell half, and leave the rest with trailing stop-loss—this approach is truly different.

That's right, being alive is the real skill; otherwise, everything is pointless.
