From losing sleep to earning millions a month, I used the simplest methods. $ETH


You might not believe it when I say this, but I didn't suddenly have an epiphany, nor do I have any special talent. I just found a few set-in-stone rules—so simple even elementary school students can understand them. The key is, they really work.
First Rule: To make money, first learn not to lose everything
No matter how good your strategy is, it can't withstand a liquidation.
Here's the strict rule I set for myself:
• Principal of 100,000, no single trade exceeding 10,000, always keep total position within 20%
• Cut losses immediately at 2%, no hesitation
• Beginners should avoid leverage, even experienced traders shouldn't exceed 10x
This rule can help you avoid 90% of the pitfalls in the crypto world.
Second Rule: Do less, do it right
The market isn't about "doing more" to make money; it's about "doing it right."
I only take single-direction trades—either long or short. Chasing back and forth just costs fees to the exchange.
• Set stop-loss at 3%, take profit at 5% before entering the trade—better than making impulsive decisions
• Only do the first two trades each day; starting from the third, you're basically just giving money away
Don’t ask me how I know this; these lessons were paid for with real money.
Third Rule: Some pitfalls only need to be stepped into once
• Averaging down against the trend? That’s just asking to die faster
• Frequent trading? Fees will eat up all your profits
• Not taking profits? The numbers in your account will tell you when it’s gone
I’ve seen too many people who, after making money, refuse to leave and keep waiting for “more gains,” only to get liquidated in the end.
With a 100,000 principal, there are two possible outcomes:
• Wrong approach: full position, high leverage, holding through losses, adding to losing positions → liquidation and regret
• Correct approach: 20,000 base capital, 3% stop-loss, 5% take profit, two trades per week → 8% monthly return, over 150% annualized return
Choose for yourself.
Just remember these six words:
Must: spare funds, discipline, single direction
Don't: go all-in, hold through losses, double-ended trading
Contracts are not a casino. Those who gamble with living expenses will end up dead in the end.
As long as your principal is intact and you're alive, you have the right to talk about “big money.”
