Discipline determines life and death; rules win the future.



Three months ago, a friend came to me with only 600 USDT left in his account, about to be wiped out and forced to exit. I instilled a simple yet effective capital management system in him, and as a result, after ninety days, his account balance skyrocketed to 38,000 USDT.

This is not luck, nor is it some secret. It’s about thoroughly understanding the rules and then executing them relentlessly. Today, I’m going to share this system in its purest form.

**The Market Game Rules Have Changed**

A few years ago, it was easy to make money by casually grabbing small coins. Now? It’s a completely different world. In the 2025 market, capital flows have become more cautious, and the profit logic has shifted from "speculative hype" to "narrative-driven."

Those still dreaming of a big comeback by going all-in or blindly gambling will end up as just another bunch of chives. The ones who survive and stay stable are those with their own trading frameworks and strict discipline.

The most I tell my students is: The crypto world doesn’t lack stars; it lacks those who can last long. Quick wins don’t necessarily mean victory; enduring until the end—that’s true winning.

**Use Three Separate Funds**

The core of my friend’s comeback was a simple move: dividing 600 USDT into three parts, each with clear tactics and red lines.

**First Part: Short-term Position (200 USDT)**

Short-term trading isn’t about reckless operations. The rules are strict: only two trades per day, with a stop-loss firmly set at 3%. Once the price hits the stop-loss line, sell immediately—no hesitation. Many people blow up their short-term trades because they lack discipline—hesitating to cut losses when losing, and rushing to take profits when winning a little. Our iron rule is: cut losses without hesitation when losing, and let profits run when winning.

It sounds simple, but very few people can stick to it.

600 to 38,000? That number sounds outrageous haha, but I believe it because I've seen too many disciplined tough people... The key is still that saying — living longer is the true winner, not being fast.

From 600 to 38,000? It really depends on discipline, not luck. I really dislike those who say "my friend doubled their position" but can't actually follow through. Honestly, it's because they don't have the guts to cut losses.

600 to 38,000? I need to ponder this number. It feels like that old familiar "rule of iron and blood" routine... but there’s definitely something to it.

600 to 38,000? That's outrageous, even more so than my last dream of going all-in and turning things around haha. But it's true, discipline is easy to talk about but hard to practice. Most people get stuck at the stop-loss stage; when they lose, they want to recover quickly, but end up digging themselves deeper. I think the core issue is mindset; not everyone can hold on until the end.
