Three trading rules to steadily grow your capital
Today, I want to talk about the three trading rules that I have been using. Don't chase the trend, don't go for high leverage, and don't stay up late; you can still gradually grow your capital.
First rule: Protect your capital first, take risks with profits later
I divide my funds into several portions, each with its own purpose: for short-term positions, take a little profit and exit; for trend positions, only enter after confirming a breakout, take half the profit off the table, and use the remaining profit to take risks. Keep the capital intact, have a defensive position to protect the bottom line, and as long as the main position is stable, even if you hit a landmine, you can turn things around.
Second rule: Only trade in trending markets
Don't act randomly during a consolidation period; unclear market conditions are just a waste of time. Confirm the trend before taking action, wait for a volume breakout above previous highs, and make sure the weekly bullish conditions are in place. If the conditions aren’t met, don’t trade even if the market is hot. When the timing is right, making money will be as easy as drinking water.
Third rule: Control yourself before controlling the market
The easiest way to blow up your account is not the market, but emotions. Cut losses immediately if a single trade loses more than 3%, and pull back to cost protection if your floating profit exceeds 10%. Set a fixed time to end trading each day; just check the market once, and don't trade the next day. Feeling restless? Turn off the app, hide the K-line, and your impulses will naturally cool down.
After three months of reviewing, the trades that really contributed to profits are fewer than ten, while countless impulsive trades were kept in check by the rules, which instead protected the win rate.
There are no miracles in the crypto world, turning several thousand U into hundreds of thousands U doesn’t rely on insider information or luck, but on a simple method that minimizes mistakes.
Master these three rules, and in the next market cycle, your account curve will no longer be a story told by others, but a reality you create yourself.
