Many people say "the cryptocurrency market is a casino", but those who truly make money rely not on luck, but on rules and execution. Let me tell you a true story about a younger brother I mentored. When he first entered the market, he only had 1800U and his mindset was just to "give it a try", without much hope. Three months later, he turned 1800U into 80,000U, and he didn't encounter a single liquidation. His success was entirely based on the three foundational methods I used to achieve financial freedom from 8000U. First, dividing positions is the minimum threshold for survival. Most people enter the market fully invested; when the market dips, they panic, resulting in them being cleaned out by the market. I had him split the 1800U into three parts, each worth 600U: Day trading: Only make one trade a day, take profits immediately when the target is reached, and don’t be greedy. Swing trading: Only trade once every ten days to half a month, following the trend. Base position: Never touch it, to prevent going to zero and to provide psychological security. In short: Those who are fully invested shouldn’t talk about making money; it’s hard for them to even survive. Second, only follow the trend, and don’t mess around during sideways markets. 80% of the time in the cryptocurrency market is spent in sideways movement; trying to make money daily through technical analysis usually ends up being just paying tuition. Only act when a trend emerges; the win rate and profitability will double. I required him to: Take 30% off the table when a single trade profits over 20%. The secret to making money isn’t high frequency but rather—either don’t act, or once you’re in, ride the entire trend. Third, emotions are the enemy; rules are the protective talisman. The cryptocurrency market doesn’t test intelligence; it tests execution. He strictly followed three rules for every trade: Stop loss at 2%; if it hits, cut decisively without hesitation. When profits reach 4%, reduce the position to ensure gains are realized. No averaging down; averaging down isn’t a technique, it’s a loss of emotional control. If you can control yourself, the market will reward you. Turning 1800U into 80,000U isn’t based on luck, but on turning rules into instinct. Whether you can make money in cryptocurrency doesn’t depend on the market trend, but on whether you have a system to "survive".
