At a friends’ dinner, my childhood buddy—who couldn’t even read candlestick charts—claimed he made 220,000 in three months starting with just 2,000U. The whole table of seasoned traders was shocked—just last month he was asking me what the red and green bars meant.

But honestly, it’s simple: he completely copied the trading framework I’ve been using for eight years.

Over these eight years, I’ve seen too many people treat crypto like a casino and end up losing everything. To be blunt: the crypto market isn’t a casino, but you have to understand that “survival comes before profit.”

Here’s a breakdown of this framework. If you follow it, you can avoid 90% of the pitfalls.

1. Three-Tier Position Sizing: Survive first, then profit
Split 2,000U into three parts:
· 600U for intraday trading—no more than two trades per day, stop once you make 3%
· 700U for swing trading—only trade uptrends, avoid sideways markets
· 700U locked in a cold wallet—don’t touch it as long as the platform is safe

The core idea: don’t lose your principal.

Last year, someone went all-in on altcoins and lost half a year’s savings in half a day. Once your principal is gone, even the best opportunities mean nothing to you.

Remember: the market isn’t short on opportunities, it’s short on people who have money left to seize them.

2. Trend Hunting: 80% of the time do nothing, 20% of the time take action
The crypto market is sideways 80% of the time and trending only 20% of the time. Frequent trading just means handing over fees to the platform.

I told my buddy to uninstall the app during sideways markets and reinstall it when there’s a trend. Last month, he resisted trading for 22 days of sideways action; when a key breakout came, he made 18% in a week.

After profiting, for every 15% gain, withdraw 30% of profits into stablecoins. Just last month, he withdrew enough to buy a new phone.

True pros are hunters—waiting patiently for the perfect shot.

3. Discipline Lock: Use rules to control your emotions
A retail trader’s biggest enemy is themselves—greedy when up, fearful when down, and chasing losses when stuck.

Three iron rules:
1. Cut losses at a 1.5% drop
2. After a 3% gain, halve your position to lock in profits
3. Never average down

Once, his coin dropped 1.2% and he wanted to buy more. I made him repeat the iron rules. That coin ended up dropping another 10%, and he said, “Luckily I didn’t buy more, or I’d have lost my principal.”

Trading discipline is your airbag—it keeps you safe amid wild market swings.

Get-rich-quick stories are common, but very few people turn luck into consistent profit.

It’s not that the market is ruthless; it’s that too many people want shortcuts and forget about risk control.

I review my trades every day and will keep sharing in the future. The market moves fast—exploring alone isn’t as good as following someone experienced like me. #参与创作者认证计划月领$10,000 #美联储降息预测
