#以太坊行情技术解读 A friend of mine was trading with me, starting with 1500 yuan, and following my approach, he steadily grew his account to 23,000 yuan. But in the end, he still unfollowed me.

When I first met him, he was chasing altcoins, chasing big surges, and stepping into big drops—he blew up his account three times in two days, even risking his rent money. I didn't teach him any complicated theories, just three basic, practical rules. After four months, his account grew fifteen times.

**Rule 1: Put eggs in three baskets**

I told him to divide the 1500 yuan into three parts:

500 yuan for day trading—make one trade a day, take a 5% profit, then stop.

500 yuan for mid-term trends—wait for key support and breakout levels, don’t rush in.

500 yuan for long-term holdings—regardless of market fluctuations, just hold when it’s not active.

At first, he thought this was too slow. Until one day, he saw a friend’s entire position wiped out by a big bearish candle, and he finally understood: "It seems that position size really is fate."

**Rule 2: Only trade trends, rest during sideways**

About 70% of the time, the market is 'pretending to sleep,' which is when most people lose money. I told him, during sideways markets, don’t force trades; it’s not about trading just to trade.

Once, $ADA traded sideways for a week, and he asked if he could set an ambush. I told him, "Wait until the volume picks up."

The next day, it suddenly broke out with high volume, and he calmly gained 18%. At that moment, he realized: making money is about patience, not the number of trades.

**Rule 3: Systems are more reliable than feelings**

Set a 3% stop-loss—execute immediately when hit; if profits exceed 8%, gradually raise the stop-loss to protect capital.

Once, he wanted to cancel his stop-loss, so I showed him his previous losing trades. That night, $LTC dropped 12%, but he only lost 1%. That’s when he truly understood: stop-loss isn’t about giving up; it’s your only ticket to survive in the market.

After his account broke 20,000, he changed.

He started joining all kinds of signal groups, going all-in, thinking he "could understand the market."

Within days, his account was halved.

At 2 a.m., he messaged me: "Bro, if I had gone all-in that day, I’d have five hundred thousand now."

I just replied:

"From 1500 to 23,000, it’s discipline, not luck. Systems can save you, but inflation will only take your life."

The crypto world never lacks opportunities; what’s missing are those who can stick to the rules consistently.
