There are rumors that someone turned pocket money into a house down payment, but today I just want to share my real trading notes—no mysticism, only a methodology based on personal practice.

My starting point was actually quite miserable: only a few thousand yuan left in my account. At that time, I made a firm decision to convert all my assets into stablecoins, but I didn't go all-in immediately. This seemingly cautious step determined whether I could continue playing in the market.

**1. Three Iron Rules to Overcome Fear and Greed**

In the early days, my hands would shake when watching the charts. But I gradually realized that winning or losing in trading isn't about predicting correctly, but about how strictly you follow your discipline. So I set some strict rules for myself:

Choose coins based only on liquidity—prioritize the top five coins by 24-hour trading volume, with less slippage and less chance of being caught by obscure coins.

Be ruthless with take-profit and stop-loss—take all profits at 100%, cut losses when the loss reaches 50% of the principal. This isn't conservatism; it's the prerequisite for surviving to make the next trade.

Operate within a limited time each day—shut down the software after two hours. Many people's "all-in art" starts from watching the market for 12 hours straight.

Finally, I did a "home essential"—write down all impulsive ideas on paper and stick them near the screen—winning doubles, losing and retaliating against the market, don’t entertain these thoughts. My motto is: "The extra profit today will find a hundred ways to come back tomorrow."

**2. After Capital Exceeds 10,000, Dare to Play Layered Strategies**

When my principal grew to over 10,000 yuan, I started using three pockets to carry different styles:

Aggressive pocket (30% of funds): for intraday swings, catching early morning and late-night surges like picking up coins—take 5%-10% profit and exit.

Steady pocket (50% of funds): focus on two well-researched sectors, dollar-cost averaging and buying on dips, without aiming for doubling or watching the account too closely.

Insurance pocket (20% of funds): as a flexible reserve to handle sudden opportunities and buffer against retracements.

The core of this approach is simple: let the principal be larger than psychological fluctuations, and let discipline outweigh market emotions.
