# 3 Rules for Survival and Profit! I Steadily Walked from 800U to Now # Cryptocurrency Market Observation

These three rules helped me steadily progress from 800U, ensuring both survival and profit. The core principles are not to gamble, not to be impatient, and to leave an exit route:

First Rule: Divide Funds into Three Parts, Never Touch the Bottom Line!

I split 800U into three parts: 300U for day trading, focusing only on Bitcoin and Ethereum, cashing out immediately when there’s a 2%-4% fluctuation, not being greedy; 250U for swing trading, waiting for clear trend signals before acting, holding positions for 2-4 days for stability, not being reckless; and 250U as a safety net, absolutely not touching it even in extreme market conditions—this is my confidence for a comeback. I’ve seen too many people go all in with thousands of U, panicking when it rises or falls, and they can’t go far. True winners understand the importance of keeping some money off the market to leave themselves an exit route.

Second Rule: Only Chase Trends, Don’t Waste Time in Consolidation!

The market spends 80% of the time in sideways motion, and frequent trading just means paying fees to the platform. I never waste time in a choppy market; if there are no signals, I stay comfortably in cash, and if there’s a clear trend signal, I decisively jump in. Once profits reach 12%, I withdraw half to secure gains, as cashing out is the reliable approach. The rhythm of an expert is never about “trading every day,” but rather “do nothing until the right moment, then act decisively.” When my account doubles, I consistently make money, without being impatient or chasing after prices; just following the trend is enough.

Third Rule: Prioritize Rules, Control Emotions!

I set strict rules for myself: single trade stop-loss must not exceed 1.2%, exit when it hits the point, never hesitate; if profits exceed 2.5%, reduce the position by half, allowing the remaining profits to run naturally; after a loss, absolutely do not add to the position, preventing emotions from dragging me down. When trading cryptocurrencies, it’s not necessary to always be right about the market, but it is essential to adhere to the rules every time—rules can help you fend off greed and fear, more effective than any complex analysis.

These three rules may seem simple, yet they can help you avoid 90% of liquidation traps. From 800U to now, I rely not on luck, but on maintaining these rules without crossing boundaries. Steady progress is the only way to go far!
