Many people think making money in the crypto market is all about luck.

But the traders I’ve seen who truly made life-changing money never relied on luck—it was all about having a set of ironclad rules for survival, rules that are repeatable and can withstand both bull and bear markets.

The market can trick you, FOMO can trick you, but rules? They never let down those who truly follow them.

Last June, a friend entered the market with 3,000U. He was nervous and afraid of liquidation, just wanted to test the waters. And the result?

In less than three months, his account grew to 32,000U.
Now it's stable at 69,000U, without a single liquidation along the way.

This isn’t mysticism. These are the three survival rules I learned from grinding my way from 5,000U to professional trading over the past ten years, paid for in blood. He listened, he followed them, and his account took off.

**Rule 1: Let your capital breathe**

Never go all-in, never put everything on the line. This isn’t a suggestion, it’s a survival law.

How do you split 3,000U? Divide it into three parts, each with 1,000U:
- Intraday position: One trade a day, take profits when you have them, never get greedy.
- Swing position: Enter once every two weeks, only aim for major trend-level moves.
- Reserve position: Never touch this money; it’s your ultimate lifeline.

Most people don’t fail at making money—they blow up their accounts with a single mistake.

**Rule 2: Be lazier than anyone else during sideways markets**

The market grinds 80% of the time. The real winners are those who can sit and wait.

What you need to do is simple:
Wait for signals; wait for breakouts; wait for trend confirmation; wait until everything is clear before entering.

Profits flowing in? Take some off the table—that’s how veterans operate.

Top traders don’t trade all day. They take the whole move when they act, and they’re even calmer sitting in cash than being fully invested.

**Rule 3: Kick emotion out of your trading system**

The only thing you can control in this market is never how the candles move, but your own hands.

Remember these three rules:
- Set your stop-loss and execute it—don’t hesitate for a second.
- Start taking partial profits when you’re up 4%—don’t try to squeeze out every last drop.
- No adding to losing positions! Adding is driven by emotion, not strategy.

Your system helps you make money; emotions only help you blow up.

Going from 3,000U to 69,000U looks like getting rich quick, but it’s actually compound growth from discipline—a certainty created by rules.

This market never lacks opportunities.
What it always lacks are people who treat the rules as life itself.
