In the crypto world for ten years, the most heart-wrenching realization is this sentence - only those who can survive have the chance to make money.
Many people think about getting rich quickly as soon as they enter the market, only to end up exiting after a single bet. I've seen too many stories like this. Rather than always trying to time the market, it's better to learn how to survive longer.
**Funds are divided into three parts, leaving a way out for yourself**
Assuming you have 3000U, don't put it all in at once. Split it into three accounts, each taking on a different role. Use 1000U for short-term trades, operating at most twice a day, and take profits or losses immediately; this is quick money. The trend account also uses 1000U, waiting for a clear signal at the weekly level; if there isn't one, stay in cash and observe; this is stable money. The remaining 1000U serves as a safety cushion, specifically for averaging down, so that if the market dips sharply, you won't be forcefully liquidated.
Using full margin trading is like gambling with your life. The benefit of this allocation is that even if your short position blows up, you still have the capital to recover.
**Only eat the fish body of the trend, don't pursue perfection**
90% of the time, the market is in ineffective fluctuations, and the trends that can actually make money account for less than 10%. Instead of frequent trading, it is better to wait for high-probability opportunities. My standard is very simple: if the daily chart does not show a bullish arrangement, I will resolutely not act. If I do act, I will wait until there is a significant breakout above the previous high and a stable close before getting in for the first time.
After getting in, take out half of the profit when you make a 30% profit, and set an 8% trailing stop for the remaining position. Don’t always think about buying at the lowest point and selling at the highest point; the market is not that perfect, and taking the most stable segment in the middle is actually the most secure profit.
**Suppress emotions with rules, and trading can truly become mechanized**
Write the trading plan in black and white. Set the stop loss at 3%, and it will automatically close when it reaches that point, don't get entangled; force yourself to exit the trading software at 10:30 PM, no matter how tempting the K-line is, don't look at it; if the profit exceeds 20% during the week, immediately withdraw 30% to secure the profit.
The market is best at playing with those who say "I'll wait a bit longer."

Well said, really, being alive is the most important thing. What are those guys I used to hang out with doing now? They've exited the scene.

Indeed, staying alive is the key. I've seen too many people go all in and then completely exit, which is really not worth it.

Really, being able to come out alive is more important than anything else, I deeply resonate with this
---
All in is thrilling for a moment, but being all in leads to continuous misery, I've seen too many people like this
---
The strategy of dividing positions is indeed excellent, but most people still can't do it, they can't control their hands
---
I don't quite believe the figure of 90% ineffective fluctuations, but the meaning is correct
---
Writing rules is easy, but execution is truly difficult, most people fail due to emotions
---
I've heard the saying that you can only make money if you live long enough a hundred times, but no one really does it
---
Full position = gambling with your life, this analogy is too real haha
---
Eating the body of the fish but not the head and tail sounds simple, but it's incredibly hard to execute
---
The strategy of forcibly exiting at 10:30 is brilliant, otherwise the Candlestick really can drive people crazy

Sounds nice, but we all know that most people forget after reading, whether to All in or not.
Those who can truly survive are long gone from the comments section.
Dividing funds into three parts sounds scientific, but in reality, it's just a psychological comfort excuse.
The experience of a ten-year veteran, but unfortunately, new investors will never learn.
The last sentence "I'll wait a bit longer" has killed so many people's capital, and you know it without me saying.
I am well-versed in this theory, but when losing money, none of it comes in handy.
Among those who read this article, nine out of ten will cut losses and admit defeat in the next wave of market.

You're right, going All in once and it's all gone, I have too many people like that around me.
---
The three-part method sounds simple, but very few can actually stick to dividing their positions; most still go for an All in.
---
That 3% stop loss sounds harsh, but that's the cost of staying alive.
---
I need to remember the rule about forcibly exiting the trading software at 10:30, or I'll get ground down by the Candlestick.
---
30% to lock in profits? Sometimes I look at the chart and think "wait a bit longer" and then it's gone; I should learn this discipline.
---
Eating the fish's body but not the head or tail sounds right, but it's greed that can't be overcome.
---
I feel that dividing funds into three parts is something you have to try yourself to understand; discussing it on paper is meaningless.
---
Really, emotions are the biggest enemy in trading; the stricter the rules, the better you can survive.
