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 teachers, the more I operate, 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 reset to zero, but there are only three ways to survive — understand profit sharing, follow the rules, and protect the principal.**

Ninety days later, his account grew to 36000U. There’s no secret, no leverage used, and he rarely stayed up late watching the charts. The key was that he used a set of capital management systems.

**First rule: Divide the money into three parts**

Short-term trading with 1200U. The rules are very strict — only two trades per day. If he earns more than 5%, he takes half of the profit immediately and leaves. If he loses 3%, he admits defeat for the day. Sounds conservative? But this is the price of staying alive.

Many people die because of "too many operations" and "not willing to give up." When the K-line moves, hands get itchy. 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 sobering: 60% of trades small profit, 20% small loss, and the remaining 20% barely break even. But the key is — staying alive.

Break support? Cut! RSI crossing over 70 and still wanting to chase high? Cut! Don’t feel bad, short-term trading is basically earning sesame seeds, don’t dream of holding a watermelon. The noise in the crypto world is too loud, most people get destroyed by "false breakouts" and "waiting a bit longer."

Ultimately, capital is not a bet, it’s a soldier. You have to let it stay alive on the battlefield, not go all-in at once.
