#数字资产市场动态 Turning 3000U into 40000U, my three ironclad rules

Last year, I encountered a trader in urgent need of funds who only had 3000U left and wanted to turn things around. I didn’t give him any complex theories, only shared the three principles I’ve been exploring for years. He followed them for two months, and his account grew to 40000U. Throughout the process, he was never liquidated. These three rules may seem simple, but behind them are hard-earned lessons.

**First Rule: Funds must be allocated into three parts, always leave yourself a backup**

Divide 3000U into three portions, each with its own purpose to avoid catastrophic losses. The first portion is for intraday trading, strictly limiting to a maximum of two trades per day, and closing positions immediately once a 5% fluctuation target is reached. The second portion is reserved for trend opportunities; if the weekly chart shows no strong signals, do not act. The last portion is emergency funds; during extreme volatility, do not participate. The only goal is to ensure you can always keep playing this game.

Going all-in is like betting all chips on the market’s whim. Winning a few times doesn’t prove skill; one big loss is fatal.

**Second Rule: Only participate in the main upward phase, ignore sideways markets**

80% of the market’s time is wasted on pointless fluctuations that drain your emotions. These are not the stages where you should act. The entry signals are simple: a bullish alignment of daily moving averages, accompanied by volume breaking through key resistance levels. Once profits have retraced to 30% of the principal, take half of the profit off the table to secure gains. The remaining position should have a trailing stop to let it run freely.

Greed is the highest tuition in trading. Instead of trying to catch every wave, focus on what you understand. Opportunities like $ETH and $BTC are abundant; missing one isn’t a big deal, but a major mistake can knock you out.

**Third Rule: Isolate emotions, replace judgment with discipline**

Before placing each order, write a plan in advance. Set a stop-loss at 3%; once that level is hit, exit automatically—no room for regret. When profits exceed 10%, immediately move the stop-loss to near the cost basis, so you can watch profits grow without constant worry. After 11 PM, close your trading software; staying up late to monitor the market is a battle against your rationality.

True trading should be repetitive and monotonous like an assembly line, not an adrenaline-fueled roller coaster. From 3000U to 40000U, success isn’t about a single perfect prediction but about repeatedly executing the same discipline and surviving each time.

Market opportunities are always present, but your capital isn’t infinite. First, ensure you don’t get eliminated, then think about how to make big money. Surviving is always the top priority.
