#美联储降息 Turning 2700U into 50,000U, the people who make steady profits in the crypto world are doing these three things

Last year, a fan came to ask me how he was about to lose all his principal and was extremely anxious. I didn’t give him complicated MACD, moving averages, or anything like that; I just taught him three rules. As a result, his account grew from 2700U to 50,000U in three months. Honestly, those who can survive longer in the crypto space are often not the most technically skilled, but the ones who know how to exercise restraint best.

**Rule One: Divide your principal into three parts, only act when it’s time**

I told him to split 2700U into three pools of 900U each, each with its own purpose, and don’t move them around randomly:

- Short-term pool: operate at most twice a day, close the app immediately after trading, don’t stare at the screen and get greedy.

- Trend pool: for assets like $BTC$ETH, if the weekly chart doesn’t show a bullish pattern or if there’s no volume breakout through resistance, I don’t touch it.

- Reserve fund: in case of sudden market dips, you need money to add to your position so your account can stay alive in the market.

You need to think clearly: at worst, a margin call just loses a finger; losing all your principal means losing your mind, and there are no more opportunities after that.

**Rule Two: Only eat the profit from the trend, hide away at other times**

I’ve stepped into countless pits during choppy markets, with nine out of ten trades getting cut. Only later did I realize that I should only take trend-following trades:

- If the daily moving averages are not aligned bullishly, keep the account in cash and do nothing.

- When the market volume breaks through previous highs and closes above, then take a small position to try.

- When you’ve earned 30%, take half of the profit off the table immediately, and let the rest run with a 10% trailing stop.

Everyone understands the principle of locking in profits, but executing it is the hardest part. Don’t always think about eating the entire market; that’s only the greed demon’s game.

**Rule Three: Freeze your emotions and operate like a machine**

Before each trade, I must write a plan:

- Set the stop loss at 3%, and close the position immediately when hit—no negotiations.

- When earning 10%, immediately change the stop loss to the cost basis, locking in the risk.

Staring at the screen for long periods can drive you crazy; when your emotions go wild, the market tends to follow your lead and go off course. The market is always there, but if your account is gone, you can never get it back.

If you’re also worried about your account’s fluctuations and want to avoid the many pitfalls of margin calls, try this framework. Stick to these rules, earn steadily, and that’s better than anything else.
