People who make money in the crypto world never rely on luck; they rely on rhythm, execution, and proven rules.

Three months ago, I met a friend who just entered the market, starting with 1200U. Last week, he sent me a screenshot of his account—net worth of 48,000U, with zero liquidation throughout the process. The numbers are right in front of us, and many people's first reaction is "How is that possible?" But behind it, there's no fantasy—only three survival rules repeated over three years.

**First is capital segmentation.** Divide the 1200U into three parts: 400U for intraday ultra-short-term trading, doing only one trade per day and closing the position at take profit or stop loss; 400U dedicated to weekly signals, lying flat if no signals appear, never forcing trades; and 400U stored in a cold wallet, only moving in case of a major liquidation—like leaving a lifeline for yourself. The biggest benefit of this approach? The tragedy of full-position liquidation is fundamentally avoided.

**Second is market selection.** If the 4-hour K-line moving average hasn't broken above 30°? Don't even touch it. This isn't dogma but a way to avoid being repeatedly cut in choppy markets. When a real trend arrives, take profits when gains reach 20%, cutting off three-tenths of the position to lock in gains. Even if the paper profit looks beautiful, it's just numbers on paper. What to do when there are no clear signals—rest, go for a walk, drink milk tea. Never get rooted in the market chart—that's the beginning of blood loss.

**Finally, rule rigidity.** Stop loss at 2%, cut the position; when profits reach 4%, halve the position; other trades follow trailing take profit; never add to losing positions—these rules are set in stone, leaving no room for emotional negotiation. The last thing this buddy told me is something I remember well: "The most comfortable feeling is being able to sleep soundly."

Compared to most people's account stories? A few cents of fluctuation makes their heart race; they trade with bravado at opening, only to regret it at closing. What’s missing isn’t that hundredfold coin; it’s a practical execution manual that can truly lock in risk. The biggest fear in the crypto world isn’t slow growth but chaos. Avoiding three years of detours is always more valuable than multiplying your principal several times.
