I started with a principal of 3,000U when I entered the crypto space and took half a year to reach 500,000U, never once getting liquidated along the way. Many people ask me if I was lucky? Honestly, my success is not due to luck, but three unbreakable trading iron laws.

At the beginning, I was a rookie too, trembling every day seeing my 3,000U in the account. But I quickly realized a principle: the less capital you have, the more cautious you must be. I had thoughts of getting rich overnight, but I later understood—this path doesn’t work.

My first iron law is to divide the funds into three parts to ensure survival first.

Split the 3,000U like this: 1,000U for day trading, only trading BTC and ETH, the most liquid assets. When volatility hits 2%-4%, I exit; I don’t be greedy. Another 1,000U for swing trading, only acting on clear signals, holding positions for a few days is enough. The last 1,000U is my safety net—this money I never touch, leaving myself a chance to turn things around.

Compared to traders who go all-in, they get excited when they rise and collapse when they fall. This kind of approach will eventually lead to failure. I use my three-part funds flexibly, avoiding risks while staying active. In three months, my account grew to over 68,000U.

The second iron law is to follow the trend and avoid choppy markets.

Most of the time, the market is sideways. During these periods, I stay on the sidelines. When the trend becomes clear, I act without hesitation. But the key is to lock in profits—when I reach 12%, I take out half of the profit to ensure I realize gains. The rest is left to run, seeing how far it can go. Over these six months, I accumulated step by step, not chasing highs or getting stuck, only moving forward when I’m confident. Patience and discipline lead to continuous growth.

The third iron law is to prioritize rules and lock in emotions.

Every trade I make has a strict stop-loss, never exceeding 1.2%. As soon as that level is hit, I exit immediately—no fantasies or luck involved. Conversely, when profits exceed 2.5%, I reduce my position to lock in gains, letting the rest run. When facing losses, I never add to losing positions; I admit mistakes and never let emotions dominate my judgment.

Ultimately, trading doesn’t require you to be right every time, but you must always follow your rules.

Having less capital isn’t actually scary; what’s most dangerous is impatience. From 3,000U to 500,000U, not a single cent was gained by luck—it's all built on rules, patience, and discipline. I’ve also stumbled in darkness before, but now I hold the light in my hands, shining constantly.
