I Write Down These 7 Trading Principles on the Table – And a Newcomer Went from $3,000 to Nearly $280,000 U

In the crypto market, sometimes turning off your device and disconnecting from the network is the wisest decision. I still vividly remember a message sent early in the morning from someone in my student group – let’s call him Minh. He sent a brief message: “Hey, I followed the 7 principles you taught. I withdrew early during the recent meme coin craze, locking in over $4,000 profit. Now I can sleep peacefully.” More than a year ago, Minh entered the market with less than $3,000. His trading back then was impulsive, driven by fear of missing out, buying on rumors, and selling based on emotions. No system, no discipline. Today, Minh’s account has surpassed $270,000 – and more importantly, he no longer gets manipulated by the market. There’s no secret magic here. Just 7 trading principles that we adhere to almost rigidly. Below is the entire system.

1. Don’t Clearly See the Market, Best to Not Trade The biggest mistake beginners make is trying to trade without understanding what the market is doing. Initially, Minh often opened positions during times like: Confusing newsContradictory indicatorsUnclear price swings As a result, within a few weeks, he lost nearly $1,000 because of “trading out of impatience.” Then I set a simple rule: 👉 If you can’t describe the market in one short sentence, then close the trading software. Missing 10 opportunities is okay. Getting caught in one wrong timing trap can wipe out a month’s effort.
2. Hot Coins Should Be Traded Like Fireworks Hot trend coins used to be Minh’s “killer.” Entering late – riding the wave – cutting losses, repeatedly. I told him: 👉 Hot coins are like fireworks: beautiful, fast, and end very quickly. A discipline was set: Take 20% profit → close 50% of the positionHot coin falls out of the top trending → exit allNever wait for “the second wave” No one can build sustainable wealth by holding onto fireworks after they’ve gone out.
3. In a Major Uptrend, Sitting Still Is More Important Than Placing Orders Once, Minh exited a position just because of a small correction on the 15-minute chart, while the weekly trend was still strongly upward. A few days later, the price continued soaring, and he missed nearly $10,000 in profit. The lesson here is very clear: 👉 Big money isn’t made by hand, but by sitting still in the right spot. Later, Minh focused only on larger timeframes, set trailing stops, and… looked at the charts less. Surprisingly, his profits increased.
4. When You See a Large Volume Bullish Candle – Close Part of Your Position A strong bullish candle with a spike in volume is usually: Large capital inflowOr a short-term top Our simple rule: Encounter a large volume bullish candle → close at least 50%The rest set a stop-loss at a 10% retracement level Thus: Profit is “banked”The remaining part still has a chance to run further No one goes broke taking profits early, only those who refuse to lock in gains.
5. Moving Averages Are the Lifeline Minh used many complicated indicators before. The result was increasingly confusing. Finally, I asked him to discard everything except: MA 5MA 20 Rules: MA 5 crossing above MA 20 → enter tradeMA 5 crossing below MA 20 → exit trade After backtesting for many months, the win rate exceeded 60%. In fast-moving markets, simplicity is an advantage.
6. Use Rules to Lock in Your Instincts Human instincts are very dangerous: Profit → want to sell earlyLoss → want to cut quickly We designed a system to do the opposite: Strong coin → wait for it to return to the moving average to addMore weak coin → only buy cautiously when volume dries up and signs of falling stop 👉 Don’t trade based on emotions, only follow the plan written in advance. When instincts are locked, performance improves significantly.
7. Divide Capital into 5 Parts – Never All-In Minh once went all-in and burned his account, leaving a huge fear. Then, the capital rule was set: Divide capital into 5 partsNever use it allSupport level broken → reduce positionPrice breaks resistance → gradually increase Good capital management doesn’t make you rich quickly, but it helps you survive long enough to become wealthy. Conclusion There’s no “holy grail” in crypto. Only: DisciplineClear rulesAnd the ability to follow them, even when it’s very uncomfortable What took Minh from $3,000 to over $270,000 wasn’t luck, but a trading system that fights against his own nature. If you’re still struggling in the market, remember: 👉 Learn to survive before thinking about getting rich. 👉 Knowledge and discipline are your greatest assets.
