Making money depends on rules, not luck

I have a friend who started with only 1,200 USD last year. In less than four months, he turned it into 38,000 USD, all without a single liquidation. When I watched the market with him, I realized that his success wasn't due to any extraordinary skill, but rather because he strictly followed a set of "counter-human nature" capital management system.

Let me share that method with you now, especially suitable for small capital players.

**Three accounts, three purposes, the principal stays alive**

First, he divided the 1,200 USD into three accounts of 400 USD each, with each account having its own task and no interference with the others.

Account One: The "itchy finger" medicine. This 400 USD is used for intraday short-term trading, only dealing with BTC and ETH. The rules are extremely strict—take profit at 3%, stop loss at 2%. It sounds simple, but execution is much harder. Once, he took a 3% profit in the morning and, in the afternoon, the market continued to surge, rising 5%, but he didn't chase the move. The next day, it indeed retraced. He said this account isn't for making money but for training self-control to "take profits when the time is right."

Account Two: The patient hunter. This 400 USD hardly moves, waiting for weekly breakout opportunities. Before entering, he must calculate the stop loss and take profit ratios—only trade if the risk-reward ratio reaches 1:3. In November last year, he entered a position when ETH broke through the 1800 USD level, held it for 12 days, and made a 30% profit before exiting.

Account Three: The last line of defense. The remaining 400 USD is transferred directly into a cold wallet, with the help of family members to set the password. His logic is straightforward:
