Last year, a friend of mine lost 360,000 in the crypto market. During that time, she was completely drained— smashing her computer, deleting apps, self-isolating, and not leaving her room for two months. When we met again, her eye sockets were sunken, and she was pointing at her phone, showing an account that was almost zero, and she said with a bitter smile, "I might not turn things around in this lifetime."

But I could see that her resilience was still there.

One spring afternoon, she suddenly invited me for coffee, took out her phone, and said something that left a deep impression on me: "The account still has 3,600U. Either give up now, or use this small amount to start over." Her eyes shone with a rare determination.

The result a few months later was: slowly growing from 3,600U to over 100,000U, not only filling the 360,000 hole but also earning an extra 30,000+. She later reviewed everything with me and said it all stemmed from three rules she learned from her losses.

**Rule 1: Never invest more than 25% in a single trade.** She used to like to go all-in on market trends, but now she sticks to this bottom line. When the loss reaches 10%, she immediately cuts her losses and exits. Her words are simple: "As long as the account is alive, there's a chance to turn things around."

**Rule 2: Abandon the delusion of bottom-fishing and top-selling, follow the trend.** When $BTC goes up, go long; when it goes down, go short with a small position. No predictions, no fuss. Once, she made over 6,000U in a single day just by following this straightforward sense of direction.

**Rule 3: Be disciplined with profits.** She only keeps 15% of her gains in the account to continue trading, and withdraws the rest. Her logic is clear: "Better to earn slowly than let greed eat up the principal."

Later, she helped others follow this method. A friend with 2,000U turned it into over 8,000U, and some were timely reminded to cut losses when close to liquidation, avoiding deep pits.

In fact, there is no dead end in the crypto market. As long as you follow the rules, even small capital can gradually create opportunities.
