I rolled 2100U to 75000U in two months, a 35 times increase.

Many people see this number and their first reaction is: it must be luck or some insider information. Wrong. To be honest, I am completely confused by candlestick charts, and I have never systematically studied technical indicators like MACD and RSI. What I rely on are three very simple trading rules, mechanically executed, and sticking to it no matter what.

What about those "technical experts" who study indicators all day long? I've seen quite a few end up losing everything. Meanwhile, I happened to still be steadily making profits while they were cutting their losses. What's the difference? Execution and patience.

**Rule No. 1: Always only use 30% of your position**

Greed is the number one killer in the crypto world. I never chase prices or panic sell, nor do I emotionally increase my positions. Prices go up? I take half of my profits first, and let the rest follow the trend. Prices go down? I simply lie flat; unless the stop-loss line is triggered, I will never cut my losses.

Some people think this approach is too conservative. Slow is fast; this is not just a cliché. To survive in the crypto world, one must be qualified to experience the full market cycle.

**Second Iron Rule: Only Follow the Major Trend of Mainstream Coins**

No matter how tempting the stories of those air coins and small tokens are, don't touch them. All my funds are focused on mainstream coins. Why? Because a definite trend can sustain you for half a year, while frequently switching coins is equivalent to frequently giving away money. I've fallen into this trap in the past, and it cost me a lot.

**Rule 3: Invest the principal in batches, and never increase the position until the trend is confirmed.**

Divide the principal into several portions, and use only one or two portions to open positions each time. Is the trend signal still unclear? Wait. Has the trend stabilized? Then gradually increase your position. This is not being timid; this is called discipline. The value of discipline far exceeds any technical analysis.

Look at the growth trajectory of my account: 2100U → 12,000U → 39,000U → 75,000U. I only withdrew once in between, and the rest is compound interest snowballing. It all relies on these three points.

The truth in the cryptocurrency world is simple: it's not about who is smarter, but about who can last until the end. Market opportunities are never lacking; what is lacking are those who can stay steady and endure the fluctuations.
