Born in 1987, with 8 years in the industry, I’ve experienced the wild joy of going from 2,000U in one night to 100,000U, and also the despair of a month-long liquidation and debt. Now, my assets have long surpassed ten million, and I treat digital asset trading as a stable cash machine.

To be honest, the crypto world is not a casino; it’s a battlefield that values strategy. Those with less capital need stability even more, like seasoned hunters who must stay calm and patient.

I once mentored a novice trader whose account started with only 1,000U. Initially, he was trembling even when placing orders, afraid that one mistake would wipe him out. I told him: "Follow the rules, stick to discipline, and you’ll gradually grow."

After three months, his account exceeded 16,000U.
Five months later, it shot up to 38,000U, and he never once liquidated his positions completely.

Someone asked if it was luck? Not at all. It’s all about strict discipline and execution.

These three ironclad rules for "saving your life and making money" are his secrets from starting with 1,000U to now:

**First: Divide your funds into three parts and always keep a backup**

Split your principal into three portions: 400U for day trading, focusing only on short-term fluctuations of Bitcoin and Ethereum, locking in 3%-5% profits immediately; 300U for swing trading, waiting for clear opportunities, holding positions for 3-5 days, aiming for steady gains; 300U as a reserve, never touching it regardless of extreme market conditions—this is the last insurance for turning things around.

Have you seen those who go all-in with just a few thousand U? When prices rise, they get cocky; when they fall, they panic. They can’t go far. True earners understand the importance of keeping some ammunition outside the market—that’s the difference in mental resilience.

**Second: Follow the trend, don’t waste time in sideways markets**

Most of the market time is spent sideways, grinding traders’ patience. Frequent trading only adds to transaction fees.

Without clear signals, hold steady; when signals appear, act decisively. When profits reach 15%, withdraw half into stable assets—this is the most reliable way to lock in gains.

The rhythm of top traders is always "do nothing unless necessary, but when you move, hit the mark." During his account doubling period, I watched him steadily take profits, never rushing or chasing highs. This mindset is the hallmark of a long-term winner.

**Third: Prioritize rules, control your emotions**

Never risk more than 3% on a single trade; exit immediately when reaching that point. When profits exceed 5%, cut your position in half and let the rest run. Never add to losing positions—don’t let emotions, that devil, drag you down.

Making money, simply put, is about using systems to control those hands that want to operate recklessly.

Remember this: having less capital isn’t scary; what’s scary is always thinking you can "turn things around in one shot." Growing from 1,000U to 38,000U has never relied on luck, but on rules, patience, and discipline. These three things are worth more than anything else.
