I'm not a top trader, to be honest, I am a trader who has been in the crypto circle for many years, experienced margin calls, and stepped on countless pitfalls. Recently, I shared a real case: a fan came to me with 1200U, saying he wanted to recover his previous losses. I didn't teach him complicated things like moving averages or MACD indicators; instead, I taught him three ironclad trading rules that I summarized through blood and tears.

He followed this method for three months, and his account went from 1200U to 38,000U, all without a single margin call. These three rules are essentially survival rules. If you can understand them thoroughly, you can basically surpass most retail traders.

**Rule 1: Divide your money into three management parts**

Split 1200U into three portions of 400U each, operate independently, and absolutely do not transfer funds between them. The first part is for short-term quick trades, opening at most two positions per day; after completing, close the trading app and don’t watch the market. The second part waits for the big trend; if the weekly chart doesn’t show a bullish pattern or volume doesn’t break through key levels, stay out of the market. The third part is for emergencies; when the market experiences extreme volatility that could cause a margin call, use it to add positions and protect your principal.

**Rule 2: Only ride one trend segment**

Before trading, clarify three entry signals. Never touch if the daily moving averages are not in a bullish state; only enter with small positions when volume breaks through previous highs and the daily close is stable; once profits reach 30% of the principal, immediately withdraw half of the profits, and set a 10% trailing stop on the remaining position to lock in gains.

**Rule 3: Lock in your emotions tightly**

Before entering a trade, write down your trading plan clearly. Set the stop-loss at 3%, and close the position automatically at that point—leave no room for hesitation. When profits reach 10%, move the stop-loss to the cost price. Shut down your computer promptly at midnight every night; if you can’t sleep, uninstall the app. Don’t let emotional fluctuations ruin your trading discipline.

Many people always think about getting rich overnight, but in this market, surviving longer makes you the real winner. Once your capital is wiped out, there’s no chance to turn things around. Instead of studying wave theories and indicators, it’s better to master these three rules thoroughly. The essence of trading is capital management combined with psychological control; everything else is superficial.
