To be alive is the biggest win in the crypto world trading.

Three months ago, a friend who was trading came to me, and his account had just been liquidated, leaving him with only 3600 yuan. He said this was his last capital and asked how he could turn things around. I didn't give him any complicated technical analysis; I just threw him three simple rules. What was the result? 90 days later, his account had risen to 30000 yuan.

Don't take it as a get-rich-quick story. This is just a trader who has been beaten by the market countless times, and finally realized the way to survive. Today I share it with everyone, remember one thing - the key is to really execute.

**Rule One: Three-part Account System, Keeping You at the Table Forever**

I told him what the first step was: divide the 3600 into three parts, each part being 1200. Go all in? Don't even think about it.

Short-term trading that 1200 yuan - at most enter two trades a day, once the stop-loss is triggered, exit immediately without any hesitation. Many people's problem lies here, knowing that they should take action on the stop-loss, yet they are reluctant to cut their losses. In the end, they are forced to liquidate, losing every penny.

Trend trading that portion of 1200 yuan - only looking at the market above the weekly level, sitting and waiting if no clear trend is seen. The goal of this part of the funds is to capture one or two medium-term major waves, without pursuing frequent operations.

The emergency fund of 1200 yuan — this is a lifesaver, only to be used during extreme market fluctuations or when margin calls are urgent. Many people do not have this buffer, and one unexpected event can lead to total loss.

The brilliance of position allocation lies not in how much you can earn, but in how long you can survive. Just like playing Texas Hold'em, you can lose several small pots, but the key is to still have chips in hand; the opportunity for a comeback will always exist. The market in the crypto world changes daily, but once the principal is gone, it's truly game over. Too many newcomers want to double their accounts in one go, only to find themselves out of this market. Position management ensures that even if a particular trade fails, you can continue to survive in this game.

**Rule 2: Strict trading discipline, no exceptions**

No matter how good the rules are, they are useless if executed incorrectly. My friend's three accounts each have clear operational boundaries.

For short-term trading, the two orders are a hard limit. If you make the first trade and incur a loss, stop trading and take a break for the day. If you make a profit on the second trade, exit immediately; don’t be greedy. The stop-loss for each trade should be set in advance; if triggered, exit without looking at the K-line chart, without checking the news, and without listening to any excuses.

The trend part is simpler—if there is no clear weekly or daily trend, then do nothing. Many people think this is too conservative, but they haven't understood one thing: operating in a market without certainty is called gambling, not trading.

Emergency funds should never be used actively. There are only two situations that will trigger their use: before being forcibly liquidated due to insufficient margin, or when a true black swan event (extreme price) occurs in the market. The purpose of this money is to preserve life, not to double it.

**Rule 3: Mindset Management, Don't Let Emotions Take Over Your Account**

This is the hardest part. When the account rises from 3600 to 8000, the psychological pressure is low; but when it rises from 8000 to 15000, the mindset starts to change. The more you earn, the more you fear losing; the more you fear, the more likely you are to make mistakes; the more mistakes you make, the easier it is to incur losses.

My friend's approach is to withdraw half of the profit every time they earn a 30% return, locking it in as cash. The remaining half stays in the account to continue compounding. This way, they can enjoy the taste of making money without becoming overly confident from earning too much.

Similarly, you must manage your mindset even when facing losses. If you lose 2% in a day, stop all trading for that day and don't think about making it back. The market won't disappear just because you didn't operate today; it will still be there tomorrow. But if your principal is gone due to emotional trading, then you will truly have nothing left.

Three months later, his account indeed grew to 30,000. It's not something extraordinary, nor is he particularly smart. He just strictly followed these three simple methods. The hard truth about making money in the crypto world is this simple: the longer you survive, the greater your chances of making money. Those who try to double their investment in one go often become the nutrients of the market.
