Those nights staring at the candlestick charts until my eyes were bloodshot are now a thing of the past. Learning to let go has actually helped me see the true nature of this market more clearly.

I still remember the tragedy of 2019. I threw 120,000 yuan all in at once, and in half a year, it was down to just 30,000. That sleepless night felt especially long; I stared at the screen like a gambler, my mind a mess. Suddenly, I remembered something my grandmother said when I was a child: "The moon has always been there, it’s just hidden behind the clouds."

That one sentence made me realize a question—those so-called "moons" in the crypto world are not about hundredfold coins, but about those who survive through the bull and bear markets. Their common trait is having a set of usable rules.

**Money in hand should be divided into three parts**

My biggest regret now is the kind of operations I used to do—seeing a surge and wanting to go all in. It was always like this: when the upward trend came, I couldn’t resist chasing the high; buying at the top, getting stuck deep.

Later, I changed my approach. I split my funds into three separate accounts, each with its own strategy:

**Part One: The Mobile Unit (30%)**

This money is for short-term trades, focusing only on mainstream coins. I set two rules for myself: take profit at 3%, and exit at a 1.5% loss. It doesn’t sound like much, but it adds up over time. For example, last month, Bitcoin surged from 58,000 to 59,700. I cashed out directly. It later rose to 61,000, but I don’t regret it at all. Money isn’t about having the most, but about staying alive. This part acts like reconnaissance—quick in, quick out. Greed is the biggest enemy here.

**Part Two: The Trend Team (30%)**

This money can’t be moved randomly; I wait until the overall trend is truly clear before acting. I have two entry signals: one is the Federal Reserve signaling liquidity easing (like officials hinting no rate hikes), and the other is Bitcoin’s weekly chart stabilizing above the 30-week moving average. Last October, the market was in panic, but I stayed calm and waited. I waited two full weeks until I confirmed the trend reversal, then started building positions gradually. This wave yielded over 40% profit in a single trade.

**Part Three: The Safe Deposit Box (40%)**

This money is the "dead money," stored directly in a cold wallet. No buying, no wavering, no watching the market. It’s like leaving a backup plan for yourself.
