#数字资产市场动态 Starting with 3,000 yuan, it has grown to 18,000. After this journey, I’ve understood one principle: in the crypto world, surviving isn’t about how accurately you can predict the market, but about knowing how to stay alive.



Last year, I mentored a buddy who only had 3,000 yuan. His first trade, he was trembling. I told him one thing: don’t think about doubling your money overnight, focus on "staying alive." He followed this approach for over half a year, his account grew to 80,000, and he never got liquidated.

The real working method is actually just these three things.

**First, money must be allocated wisely.** Don’t go all-in on one direction out of impulsiveness. Allocate some for quick in-and-out short-term trades, some for catching confirmed opportunities in the swing, and set aside a portion as emergency funds, never to be touched. Smart traders never go all-in because they leave themselves a way out.

**Second, follow the trend, don’t waste time on oscillations.** When there’s no clear signal, sit on the sidelines. Once a trend is established, act immediately. Take profits quickly, then use those profits to pursue bigger opportunities. Trading isn’t about working overtime; it’s about waiting patiently.

**Finally, discipline must be ingrained in your bones.** Stop-loss on each trade should not exceed 2%. Take profits gradually when you’re in the green, and never add to a losing position in the opposite direction. You don’t have to be right every time, but you must always follow your own rules. The market is open 24 hours, opportunities will come again.

Those who laugh last are never the ones who rush in the fiercest. Instead, they are the ones with a steady mindset, calm rhythm, and strict rules. In the face of the market, slow is fast. If you can hold on, you can survive longer.

That's right, but the execution is difficult... Everyone around me is the kind of person who gets overly excited when their account doubles, and they simply can't sit still and wait patiently.

That's right, I was using the same strategy last year, but I was more extreme — I didn't chase highs at all, I only moved when there's a pullback. Going from 3k to now, it's really just two words: survive. Don't rely on fancy indicators; executing stop-losses properly is more important than anything.

This guy's point is valid, but execution is too difficult... I still tend to be impulsive and go all-in.

That's right, this is the proper way to make a living. I used to be the kind of fool who went all-in on a whim, and now I think back and get scared. If I had understood this principle earlier, it would have been better. Honestly, I need to remember the 2% stop-loss rule, or else I keep trying to recover losses and end up losing even more each time.

You are so right. Last year, I lost everything because I didn't stick to discipline and went all in. Now I understand that staying alive is much more important than making money.

You're really right, turning 3,000 into 18,000 without ever getting liquidated is the real skill I respect the most. I've seen many people who go all-in on a single trade, and in the end, most of them just hold on and buy the dip, so I agree with this logic. I especially agree with the 2% stop-loss rule; not many people actually implement it. Most still think "just hold on and break even," and then there's nothing afterward. Opportunities will always come again. Keeping this phrase in your mind means you've already won half the battle.

That was really harsh, going from 3,000 to 18,000 is truly impressive. But what I really want to know is, is that guy still alive? I've heard the phrase "slow is fast" too many times, but few can really do it. All-in are gamblers, not traders.
