#数字货币市场洞察 This time last year, when I ran into A-Lin, she was completely out of it. She had lost 450,000 in her crypto account, locked herself at home for two months, deleted all the trading apps from her phone, and just stared blankly at her account balance.

“I guess my life is over,” she said at the time.

I thought she’d never touch this industry again. But then this October, she suddenly asked me out for coffee. She opened her wallet, and the balance showed 2,800U.

She stared at the screen and said, “Either I just call it quits, or I take this little bit and make one last shot.”

There was a spark back in her eyes.

Who would’ve thought? That 2,800U became her ticket to a comeback.

First, it grew to 10,000, then broke 30,000, and later shot past 100,000U. In half a year, she not only filled the 500,000 hole but also made over 20,000 in profit.

When I asked how she did it, she waved it off: “My skills are average, I just stuck to three iron rules. All learned the hard way with money.”

First rule: Don’t get greedy with your position size.

She used to go all-in and gamble on direction, but now she strictly caps any single position at 25%. If losses hit 10%? Cut it immediately, no wishful thinking.

“As long as your capital is intact, there’s always a chance to come back. I’ll never blow all my ammo in one go again.”

Second rule: Follow the trend, don’t guess.

She stopped trying to catch bottoms or tops. If BTC is in an uptrend, she goes long; if ETH looks weak, she shorts with a small position. Last year, she caught a rebound and made over 6,000U in a single day.

“Go where the market goes; don’t assume you’re smarter than the market.”

The third rule is the killer: Profits must go in your pocket.

Every time she profits, she only keeps 15% in play, and immediately withdraws the rest to her bank account.

“I used to get cocky after a win, always thinking I could make more, and ended up giving it all back. Now I get it—going slower is fine, the money only counts once it’s in your hand.”

She’s not some technical genius. She just learned how to control herself.

Later, she brought a few friends in. Some turned 1,500U into 7,000U, others nearly blew up but she stopped them just in time.

The crypto market never lacks opportunities. What’s missing are people who, after losing big, can get back up and learn to follow the rules.

She used to stumble around in the dark. Now she has rules—a flashlight in her hand.

That flashlight is still shining. If you’re struggling in the mud of losses, maybe you should consider if you need a few of these lifesaving rules too.
