Many people tell me that making money in the crypto world depends on luck, but I don't see it that way.

Three months ago, I met a friend whose account only had 3600U left, completely trapped. He complained to me: "I've tried contract liquidation, chasing altcoins, even been cut by signal providers, and the more I trade, the more I lose." I asked him what he thought, and he said he had already given up.

My advice to him was very simple: **There are countless reasons to go broke, but only three ways to survive—understand profit sharing, follow the rules, and protect your principal.**

Ninety days later, his account grew to 36,000U. There’s no secret, no leverage used, and he rarely stays up late watching the charts. The key is that he used a proper capital management system.

**First rule: Divide your funds into three parts**

Use 1200U for short-term trading. The rules are strict—only two trades per day. If you gain more than 5%, take half of the profit and walk away immediately. If you lose 3%, admit defeat for the day. Sounds conservative? But this is the price of survival.

Many people get wiped out because of "overtrading" and "not willing to accept losses." When the K-line moves, their hands itch. I told him to use EMA and VWAP to confirm entry points—only trade when the price is above VWAP and volume increases. The result was very eye-opening: 60% of trades small profits, 20% small losses, and the remaining 20% barely break even. But the key is—staying alive.

If the price breaks support? Cut! RSI crosses above 70 and you want to chase the high? Cut! Don’t be sentimental; short-term trading is about earning small gains, not dreaming of big wins. The noise in the crypto market is too loud, and most people get wrecked by "false breakouts" and "waiting for the right moment."

Ultimately, capital is not a bet; it’s a soldier. You need to keep it alive for the battlefield, not go all-in at once.
