Why do some people say the crypto world is just a casino? Actually, they haven't found the right approach. Many treat trading as a game of luck, and the result is naturally losing money. But the truly stable profit logic is quite clear—it’s about establishing a repeatable trading framework.

Recently, I mentored a beginner, and his experience was particularly interesting. He started with only 1800 USDT, testing the waters. After three months, he reached 29,000 USDT, and now he’s steadily at 58,000 USDT, all without a margin call. His success boils down to three core points.

**First: Position Sizing.** This is the foundation of survival. I split his 1800 USDT into three parts, each 600 USDT. The first part is for intraday trading, aiming to capitalize on short-term fluctuations and exit quickly. The second part is for cycle swings, identifying the direction of major trends. The third part is the core holding, staying put regardless of price movements. Going all-in or gambling? That’s asking for the market to teach you a lesson. Survive first, then have the chance to profit.

**Second: Wait for Trends.** Most of the time in crypto is spent in consolidation, and during sideways markets, frequent trading is easy but often results in losing money. The smart approach is to wait for clear trend signals before acting. Once profits exceed 20%, lock in 30% of the gains. Top traders aren’t those who trade most frequently, but those who can restrain themselves and only act when a major trend emerges.

**Third: Discipline Enforcement.** I set three rules for him: cut losses unconditionally at 2%, take profits and reduce positions at 4%, and never add to losing positions. The biggest enemy in trading is often your own emotions. Rules are designed to combat this loss of control. Let your capital automatically cycle within a disciplined framework, and profits will naturally accumulate.

In summary, whether you make money in crypto doesn’t depend on the market itself, but on whether you have a rule system that allows you to survive. I’ve used this framework starting from 8000 USDT to achieve financial freedom. Now I share it with more people, hoping everyone can avoid some pitfalls.
