Recently, I saw a case in the community that made me rethink what it means to "survive is more important than anything else."

A single mother, with only 1200U left in her account—that is her child's food money. The previous story is very typical: going all in, liquidation, debt, and she has almost stepped on all the pitfalls that a novice should avoid.

But she didn't gamble again. Instead, she chose the "dumbest" path:

Divide the remaining money into three parts.
The first 400U is for short-term trading, with strict rules set - withdraw when you earn 3%, and immediately stop loss if you lose more than 1.5%. Don't be greedy, don't hold on.
The second 400U only waits for the big trend, and I don't look at the market during sideways movements; I only take action when there are clear signals.
The last 400U? Locked and immovable, that's a real safety cushion.

Sounds conservatively ridiculous, right? But three months later, her account turned into 54,000 U.

It's not about catching a hundredfold coin, but about accumulating 3% with every transaction and timely cutting losses at 1.5%. When the market is consolidating, she takes care of the kids, and when the trend comes, she only profits from the main upward movement and then stops. Be a cold-blooded robot: cut losses without blinking, and take profits without looking back.

The biggest lie in the crypto world is "a chance to turn things around", the most realistic way out is "don't die just yet".

Those who survive in the market rely not on luck, but on a respect for risk and adherence to discipline. Diversifying positions is not cowardice, setting stop-losses is not surrender, and giving up the fantasy of getting rich quickly is actually the fastest path to growth.

If you are also struggling in the quagmire of losses, why not stop and ask yourself: Am I trading or gambling?

Systematic risk control, replicable discipline, and strategies that can protect your principal - these things may sound boring, but they can help you stand firm amidst the storms.

The market will eliminate gamblers but will reward those who respect the rules.
