Why do nine out of ten people in the crypto market fail to make money? Simply put, it's because they are using the wrong methods.

A trader used a principal of 1200U and, through systematic operations over three months, grew it to 36,000U without ever getting liquidated. His secret isn't complicated; it's a proven trading framework based on three core principles.

**Position Sizing Is the Foundation for Survival**

Divide 1200U into three parts, each 400U, corresponding to different strategies. One part is for intraday trading, where you focus on one or two opportunities and then exit; another part is for swing trading, operating once every ten to fifteen days to chase major trends; the last part is for the core holding, which you never touch regardless of market movements, purely to preserve capital.

Why divide like this? Because most of the market time is spent in sideways consolidation. Full-position trading during a dip can lead to liquidation. If you're not even alive in the market, how can you talk about doubling your money? The core logic of position sizing is: ensure survival first, then have the chance to make money.

**Only Profit in Clear Trends**

Eighty percent of the market time is spent in ineffective fluctuations. Frequent trading just burns transaction fees without real gains. Wait until a clear trend emerges before acting—that's much more efficient. More importantly, take profits promptly. When profits reach 20%, take 30% off the table; let the rest run. This way, even if there's a pullback later, you won't give back all your gains.

Experienced traders don't trade every day; they wait for a complete trend to set up and then go all in. Long-term holding versus frequent trading—market results will tell you which yields higher returns.

**Replace Emotional Judgment with Ironclad Rules**

Set three strict rules before each trade: stop-loss at 2%, and immediately close the position without debate; take profit at 4% and reduce the position to lock in gains; prohibit any add-on trades—adding positions only increases the risk of being caught.

Emotional trading is the biggest killer. When every decision is governed by rules rather than feelings, your capital begins to grow along a stable curve. Whether it's mainstream coins like BNB, XRP, or obscure tokens, following rules is the only way to make money.

Opportunities in the crypto space are never lacking; what’s missing are those who survive long enough to seize them. Are you ready to set rules for yourself?
