#美联储重启降息步伐 I'll be straight with you—I'm not here to show off my track record. I just want to talk about this: in trading contracts, surviving is ten thousand times more important than making money fast.

Last year, I coached someone who started with a principal of 2,000U. In three months, it grew to 29,000U, and now the account is steadily above 58,000U. The point isn't how many times it multiplied, but that he never got liquidated even once.

This experience made me realize three things.

**First: Don't go all-in, damn it**

The market isn't short of gamblers; what it lacks are people who know how to leave themselves a way out.

Back then, I had him split 1,200U into three parts—400U each, each with its own role:
- One part for intraday trading, only one trade per day at most. Take the profit and run, never get greedy.
- One part for swing positions, which might sit untouched for ten days or half a month, but when you do act, go for the big gains.
- The last part is the emergency fund—this is your lifeline. No matter what happens, do not touch it.

The logic is simple—if you lose your lifeline, how are you going to make a comeback?

**Second: Learn to damn well wait**

Eighty percent of the time in crypto is just dead time, boring sideways chop. If you keep trading in these trash markets, you’re just working for the exchange.

My approach is simple: endure it.
No trend? Do nothing. When a real opportunity comes? Strike precisely.
Profit above 20%? Immediately take a third of the profit and pocket it. Only money in your pocket counts.

People who really know how to play might only take a few trades a year. But each one is enough to live off for half a year.

**Third: Kill your emotions with rules**

Emotions are the biggest enemy of retail traders. No exceptions.
You have to set strict rules for yourself:

- Down 2%? Cut. Don’t even blink.
- Up 4%? Reduce position and lock in profits. Don’t dream about selling at the top—that’s fantasy.
- Want to average down when you’re losing? Don’t do that dumb shit, you’re just digging yourself a hole.

The essence of making money is letting your money grow within the rules, not letting your greed and fear drag you around.

From 1,200U to 58,000U, there’s no secret—just lock in your risk and let your profits run.
