The first iron rule: "Three amounts of money, each in its place." I had him split 800U into three parts: 300U for day trading, only opening one position a day, closing after a 5% gain; 300U waiting for opportunities, absolutely not entering until reaching support; 200U locked as "emergency funds," never to be touched even if the sky falls.

At first, he mumbled, "When will this little principal go up?" Until he saw a colleague's contract instantly go to zero, he silently began to place orders in batches.

The second rule: "Only catch the main upward trend, do not touch the sideways market." Seventy percent of the market consists of garbage行情, I told him to go to the gym during consolidation.

Once, when ADA was sideways for a week, he asked in the middle of the night, "Should we ambush?" I simply replied, "Wait for volume."

The next day, a big bullish candle broke out, and we enjoyed an 18% increase; he then understood, "Not moving is ten times harder than moving chaotically." For every profit exceeding 15%, I forced him to transfer one-third to his bank card; the digital numbers on the screen were more real than the SMS notifications.

The third and most critical rule: "Let the system control your hands." Set a 3% stop-loss for each trade, automatically closing out when the line is touched; if profits exceed 8%, immediately move the stop-loss to ensure capital preservation. Once, when he was trading LTC, he was 0.5% away from the stop-loss and wanted to cancel the order; I showed him the liquidation record from three months ago. That night, LTC plummeted 12%, and he was focused on a 1% loss, finally understanding, "Cutting positions is a protective charm."

However, after his account broke 20,000 U, he got carried away: mixing in the signal groups, mocking others for being timid, and leveraging heavily to chase MEME coins. After his capital retraced by half, he sent a short essay in the early morning: "I went all in initially, and now I'm at 50,000." Looking back at his previous messages saying, "Thank you for teaching me risk management," I suddenly understood: the market doesn't eliminate the poor, it only eliminates gamblers who don't follow the rules.

Before deleting him from my friends list, I sent one last message: "From 1500 to 23,000, it's not the market but the rules that matter. Rules can help you survive, but arrogance can lead you to zero." Discipline is the fundamental key to survival in the cryptocurrency world. @阿瞒说币
