Friends with less than 2000U principal, I have to say something blunt: the most urgent lesson now is not how to get rich overnight, but how to survive steadily in this market.

I once mentored a trader who started with 1500U. After four months, this amount grew to 32,000U. Throughout the process, there were zero liquidations and zero crashes. His success was neither due to luck nor some mysterious indicator. Frankly, it was because he stuck to three seemingly "stupid" but super effective rules.

**First Trick: Divide your funds into three parts.** Split 1500U into three portions— the first for day trading, at most one trade per day; the second for swing opportunities, making a move every ten days or even half a month; the third as a reserve bottom line, so even if the first two parts get wiped out, this one can give you a chance to turn things around. Many people say full position is brave, but actually that’s just courting death.

**Second Trick: Only trade in clear market conditions.** When the market is sideways, just leave it alone. If you can’t see the direction clearly, stay out and wait. Do you know? Most losses come from a psychological effect—feeling like "I need to do something." In fact, when there’s no clear trend, the smartest move is to do nothing. Better to watch opportunities slip away than to blindly chase highs and sell lows.

**Third Trick: Treat discipline as life.** Strictly set stop-loss at 2%. Take profits at 4% and reduce your position. When your account doubles, withdraw some profits immediately. When losing, never add to your position, never hold on stubbornly, and never gamble on rebounds. This rule is the cruelest but also the most decisive in life. Most people can’t turn things around because they fall here.

Now, this trader’s account has already exceeded 100,000U, and he doesn’t even need to wake up in the middle of the night to watch the market. Just glance at the price once a day, then he can go back to rest.

Want to reverse your luck? Remember this: as long as your principal is still there, doubling is possible. The fastest way in the crypto world often requires you to slow down first.
