I want to share a true story with you.

Six months ago, a girl who had no experience in trading started learning from me, initially depositing only 1200U. A few days ago, she sent me a screenshot—her account had grown to 48,000U. The key point is that during this time, she never once got liquidated.

How is that possible? Many people’s first reaction is skepticism. But actually, her approach isn’t high-end at all; in fact, it’s quite "simple"—she strictly follows three rules.

**Keep Some Capital in Reserve**

Her 1200U is divided like this: 400U dedicated to intraday short-term trades, closing each day after one trade; 400U waiting for major weekly-level opportunities, absolutely not touching it without clear signals; and the remaining 400U stored in a cold wallet, not moving unless necessary.

Look at how most people lose money—putting their entire net worth into one trade, and when the market moves against them, they get wiped out. She understood from day one—the importance of leaving herself a way out. Her account is split into three parts, each with its own purpose, so even if one part encounters problems, the others can support her.

**Follow the Trend, Don’t Force It**

She only watches the 4-hour candlestick chart. When does she take action? Only when the moving averages show a clear upward trend. Otherwise, she stays on the sidelines.

When a real trend appears, her strategy is simple and straightforward—take 20% profit first, withdrawing 30% of the gains into her pocket, and let the rest run with a trailing stop. When the market is oscillating back and forth, she doesn’t watch the charts—she eats, she sleeps.

Most people fall into this trap—when the market is stagnant, they keep watching, and then start making reckless moves, eventually giving back all their gains.

**Discipline on Paper, Emotions on the Sidelines**

When losses reach 2%, no matter how reluctant she feels, she cuts losses immediately—no exceptions. When profits exceed 4%, she halves her position to lock in gains. During losses, she never adds to her position—that’s the biggest test of human nature.

After three months, what does she tell me most? It’s not “Wow, I’ve made multiple times my initial capital,” but “The best part is I can sleep peacefully.” The days of staying up late watching charts and losing her mind over a reversal are gone.

**Why Is This Method Effective?**

Simply put, she’s gradually removing the randomness from trading. Small fluctuations of ten dollars don’t bother her; before opening a trade, she knows exactly how much she might lose or gain—no surprises. This predictability is incredibly valuable for beginners.

I’ve noticed many people get messed up by the market—opening positions and getting emotional, sweating even with short-term trades, and then regretting after closing—“If only I held a bit longer.” Instead of chasing the next hundredfold coin, what they really lack is a solid, executable trading system.

In the crypto world, reckless messing around often causes more damage than slow, steady progress. Avoid unnecessary detours, learn risk management—this is more valuable than multiplying your capital several times.
