#以太坊行情解读 1200 yuan turned into 50,000——my three trading iron rules for a fren
Last year, my fren A K's account only had 1200U left, and he came to me wanting to turn things around. I gave him three rules that seemed simple but were incredibly difficult to execute. As a result, within 90 days, he managed to reach 50,000U without ever getting liquidated. Today, I'm writing down this set of principles; how much you can absorb depends on your own understanding.
**Article 1: Don't put all your eggs in one basket, spread your money out**
Divide 1200U into three small vaults of 400U each:
- Short-term pool: 400U specifically for daily trading, with a maximum of two entries per day, used to develop trading intuition.
- Trend Pool: 400U will only move when the overall direction is confirmed, not chasing the market.
- Lifesaver Fund: 400U set aside to save the situation during market upheavals, ensuring you live to see the next opportunity.
I've seen too many people try full margin trading just once and never get a chance to do it a second time. Once they blow up, they're out for good, nothing more to say.
**Article 2: Go with the flow, don't try to be a hero by bottom fishing**
When the market is volatile, it's easiest to lose everything. My judgment method is actually quite straightforward:
- Check if the daily moving averages are in a bullish arrangement; if not, stay in cash and wait.
- Wait for the price to break through the previous high point, and confirm with a daily close, only then to enter.
- Take half down after making 30%, and use the remaining to automatically run with a 10% trailing stop.
Follow the trend, don't always think about picking the absolute bottom. The market opportunities are piled up like a mountain, but your capital is just that little bit.
**Article 3: Execute rules, don't let emotions take over your account**
Before each transaction, go through the rules in your mind first:
- Set the stop loss at 3%, and close the position when it reaches that point, no negotiation.
- Once you earn 10%, change the stop loss to breakeven, so at worst, you just worked hard for nothing.
- Turn off the computer at 11 PM sharp, don't stare at the candlestick charts until dawn, or your mind will get more and more confused.
The traders who can truly survive are those who can strictly adhere to the rules.
**Living is the first step**
From 1200U to 50,000U, the secret is not catching some magical single, but making fewer mistakes. The market has opportunities popping up 24 hours a day, but your capital is limited. First, learn how to survive, then think about how to earn more. Losing less is earning, this has been said many times and yet there are still people who do not believe it.

Diversification is really appealing; I can't even bear to think about that time I went all in.
---
I can't do the 3% stop-loss rule; I always want to hold on a bit longer.
---
Surviving is really the first step; it's more practical than any Technical Analysis.
---
Wait, has this guy never been liquidated? Then I need to reflect on myself.
---
I need to try shutting down my computer at 11 PM; I'm currently glued to it until 2 AM.

It's easy to say not to buy the dip, but doing it really is a nightmare.
Taking 30% profit and running half is indeed a comfortable rhythm.
The rule is simple, but the key is whether I can really turn off the computer at 11 PM, I can't do it anyway.
Staying alive is indeed the first step, if you can't survive, don't mess around.
A stop loss of 3% is a bit strict, but if it's not strict, the account will be gone sooner or later.
The logic of following the trend is fine, but I'm afraid I can't tell if I'm following the trend or chasing the price.
I don't believe in flipping 1200 to 50 times, but the idea is on point.
I like this setting for survival money, it feels more reliable than what they say about Risk Management.
Staring at the screen every day really messes with your head, that's too real.
