Big fish in rough waters look tempting, but once the boat capsizes, the fish are gone, and so are lives.

Last year, I connected with a friend who trades, using a systematic methodology, and turned an initial 900U into 68,000U. In three months, the entire process had zero liquidation and no drawdowns or collapses. He relied not on luck, but on discipline.

**The first key: funds must be diversified**

Full position trading is equivalent to seeking death. Divide 900U into three parts, each 300U with a specific purpose—300U for intraday trading, placing only one order per day without greed; 300U to wait for swing opportunities, making a trade once every ten days or half a month; the last 300U as a safety net, with the qualification to turn around if truly losing. This is not conservative; it’s the bottom line for survival.

**The second key: only trade the clearest market signals**

Do not trade during sideways markets; market data shows that 80% of losses are stuck in these directionless oscillations. If you can't see the trend clearly, stay out and wait. Better to earn less than to lose blindly. Enter only when the direction is clear. Remember this—markets may not be available every day, but your life must be.

**The third key: rules are set in stone, emotions are cleared**

This is the most critical:
- Set stop-loss at 2%, treating it as a normal operation like eating
- When profits reach 4%, cut your position in half and lock in some gains
- When account profits exceed 20% of the principal, immediately withdraw 30%
- Never add to a losing position

90% of people who can't turn things around get stuck on this last point. They deceive themselves into thinking they can "pull it back," unwilling to accept stop-losses, still trying to recover losses when losing. No gambling, no holding, no illusions—that’s it.

And the result? This friend’s account has already surpassed 100,000U. More importantly, he no longer stays up late watching the charts. Spending five minutes a day checking key levels, acting when needed, resting when appropriate.

Want to truly turn things around? Remember this—only those who are alive have the right to talk about doubling.

Diversify, wait for opportunities, control the rhythm—these things are not exciting, they don’t give the thrill of quick wealth, but they can save you three years of detours. Those who truly make money in crypto are never in a rush to be "fast." Want fast? First, slow down.
