Want to rely on steady returns to relax, or carve out a bloody path in the crypto world?



The crypto market, to put it plainly, is not a casino; it’s a battlefield full of opportunities and traps— the weaker your capital, the more fiercely you need to play and the more carefully you must defend.

Last year, I guided a group of newcomers with an initial capital of only 1200U. Back then, they trembled when watching the charts, placing orders like sifting through chaff... So, what was the result? In three months, they reached 15,000U; in five months, they broke through 32,000U. The entire process involved zero liquidation. This wasn’t luck hitting the jackpot, but adherence to three uncompromising disciplines.

**First: Capital Allocation—Defense is also Attack**

500U focused on intraday rhythm—monitoring daily fluctuations of BTC and ETH, locking in 3%-5% opportunities for quick gains, entering and exiting swiftly. Don’t be greedy.

400U patiently waiting for cycle signals—holding positions for 3 to 5 days, avoiding bottom fishing or chasing tops, only riding the most certain middle phase of the trend. Patient traders earn clear profits.

300U firmly pressed at the bottom line—this is the lifeline. In extreme market conditions, do nothing, save this capital for a turnaround.

Going all-in? That road leads to only one place. Always keep some ammunition outside the market, so you can laugh last.

**Second: Trend is King—Signal-Driven, or Sleep**

80% of the time in crypto is spent in junk oscillations. Frequent traders, frankly, are just working for the exchange.

No clear signal? Turn off your phone and sleep.

Signal appears? Go all out, no hesitation.

Profit reaches 15%? Take half off immediately. Lock in profits—there’s no shame in securing gains; greedy people are already lying halfway up the mountain.

**Third: Rules Suppress Emotions—Cold Bloodedness Brings Profit**

Single trade stop-loss red line: 2%, absolutely no more. When in position, cut it; don’t get emotionally attached to losing trades.

Profit over 4%? Halve your position immediately, lock in the profits, and continue to gamble with the remaining.

Never add to losing positions. The idea of “averaging down” is actually an invitation to the abyss.

You don’t need to win every time, but you must operate correctly every time—manage your hands with systems and discipline. Only then can you evolve from a harvested leek into a hunter with the ability to catch.

Having less capital is not a curse. The real poison is the gambler mentality of “one big turnaround.”

From 1200U to 32,000U, the winner is never the market itself. It’s the rules, patience, and the ability to execute discipline every time.

There are many pitfalls in crypto. But if you are willing to follow a system—focus, stop-loss, rotation, reduce positions—this lamp can point you in the right direction.

Exactly right, but the execution is difficult. Most people fail because of emotional issues.

1200U flipped to 32,000, easy to say, but how ruthless do you have to be to execute it 2. The three-part fund allocation sounds right, but how many can really hold the 300U bottom line 3. Sleep when there's no signal, that's correct, but most people are just reckless 4. That red line of 2% stop loss, how many have I seen start to backtrack at 0.5% 5. Averaging down is indeed poison, but human nature just loves to drink it 6. Take profit at 15%, reduce positions—this level of self-discipline isn't something everyone has 7. The key is that it's not the market winning, but those who can repeatedly stick to discipline 8. Small funds really need to be more aggressive to turn around, but after being aggressive, you also need to survive 9. Zero liquidation is the way to go; any more gains and it’s all for nothing 10. This system is reliable, but most people can't stick with it for three months

honestly the "1200U to 32k" arc reads like survival bias fanfic but... the 2% stop loss rule actually slaps. learned that one after watching my portfolio do a speedrun into zero, so yeah, discipline > lottery tickets.
