#数字资产市场动态 Wake up! If your principal hasn't reached $1000, don't stubbornly keep swiping your credit card into the crypto world to send your tuition fees. The crypto market is not a gambling table; it's a place where you make a living with your brain. The less money you have, the more stable you need to be, like a hunter holding back his strength. Last year, I mentored a newbie who only had $600 in USDT in his account. He was trembling when placing orders, afraid that one wrong move would wipe out his savings. I told him: "Follow the rules, and you can still slowly snowball." And what happened? After a month, his account multiplied tenfold to $6,000; he made profits in both $AT and $KGST; in three months, it grew to $20,000, all without a single liquidation. Someone asked if this was luck, and I replied directly: No, it’s purely about treating discipline as life. The reason he could go from $600 to now is based on these three ironclad rules of "protect capital and make money": **First, the Three-Part Law. Leave yourself an exit.** Divide the principal into three parts: - $200 for intraday trading, mainly Bitcoin and Ethereum, with a 3%-5% fluctuation, then quickly stop; don’t be greedy; - $200 for swing trading, waiting for real opportunities, holding for 3-5 days, aiming for stability; - The remaining $200 just stays there, holding firm even in extreme market conditions—that’s the capital for a turnaround. Have you seen those who go all-in with thousands of dollars, rushing upward? When it rises, they think they’re geniuses; when it falls, they panic. Such people don’t last long. True money-makers know they must keep some ammunition outside and not push all chips onto the table. **Second, follow the trend, don’t grind in sideways markets.** Most of the time, the market is just consolidating. Frequent trading is like giving the exchange fees. Without clear signals, stay calm and wait; once a signal appears, jump in immediately. Take half of the 12% profit and lock it in, so you sleep better. The master’s rhythm is like this: don’t make a sound when waiting; once you act, there must be gains. Watching his account multiply, he’s steady as a rock—no rush, no impatience, never chasing highs. **Third, rules are sacred; control your hands.** Each stop-loss can’t exceed 2% of the principal. When reaching the stop-loss point, exit immediately—no luck involved; if profits exceed 4%, cut half of the position right away, and let the rest continue to fly; never add to a losing position—don’t let emotions take over your account. You can’t predict the market every time, but you must follow the rules every time. Making money is actually a discipline system—controlling those hands that want to operate recklessly. Many people ask me how to play in the crypto market. It’s actually that simple—divide your positions well, follow the trend, and stick to discipline. The story from $600 to $20,000 isn’t made up; every step is supported by these three rules.
