For ten years in cryptocurrency, I've seen too many stories of assets going to zero overnight. Turning 1200U into hundreds of thousands sounds like a myth, but I know it was never about luck.

Ten years ago, I thought I was the chosen one. I researched various indicators, chased every trend, and my heart raced amidst the wild price fluctuations.

What was the result? Liquidations, missed opportunities, FOMO chasing highs… After a few years, I was battered and bruised, my account like a roller coaster, ultimately returning to square one.

What truly allowed me to survive and start accumulating was not some profound secret, but rather the three ruthless rules I later set for myself.

1. Separate the money, each performing its own role

No matter how little the principal, it must be divided for use. I split it into three parts:

One part is the "Strike Team," which only engages in the highest certainty short-term trades, quick in and out, never lingering.

One part is the "Strategic Forces," which only follows the weekly trend; if the trend is unclear, we hold our positions.

The final part is the "Lifeline," which never moves, solely for extreme market conditions.

This made me realize: you can accept tactical losses, but you must prevent strategic annihilation. As long as the principal ember remains, there is always a possibility of a comeback.

2. Only make friends with trends, and be against volatility

The greatest wastage of my time and money has been those seemingly opportunistic volatile markets.

Now my rules are extremely simple: if the daily trend is unclear, I regard it as a trap.

Only when there is a significant breakout at a key position confirmed, do I intervene for the first time.

Once there is profit, I first withdraw the principal portion and let the profits run.

The harsh truth of the market is that it is never short of opportunities, but 90% of people die before the next opportunity arises.

3. Turn yourself into an execution machine

This is the hardest, yet the most important rule. I preset a "program" for every trade: where the stop-loss is, when to move to breakeven, what time to forcibly exit without looking at the market each day.

During trading hours, I only do one thing—execute the plan.

I completely lock away emotions like greed, fear, and luck with cold rules.

Profitable trades are often as monotonous as an assembly line.

Starting from 1200U to stable accumulation, it relies not on a single accurate judgment, but on making fewer fatal mistakes than others over ten years.

Before, I was stumbling alone in the dark; now I have the light in my hand.

The light is always on; will you follow? @今酒
