#美国证券交易委员会推进数字资产监管框架创新 Have you ever seen someone truly making money in trading? I’ve come across a few.



They share a strange commonality — they don’t live like humans, they live like machines. Discipline is their entire emotional world.

Stories of losses always look the same. It’s not that their skills are lacking, but that they can’t control their hands or their hearts. When emotions surge, all plans turn into worthless paper.

A trading friend of mine started with 1500 USDT and, in three months, grew it to 45,000 USDT, never once blowing up a position. How did he do it? Simply put, three “counter-human” rules, but executing them is as cold as a machine.

**First rule: position must be divided into three parts.

Split 1500 into three shares, each 500.

Use 500 for intraday trading, focusing only on the most certain opportunities, making small profits and then rolling over. No greed.

500 for swing trading, waiting for a clear trend, maybe only trading once every ten days, but when you do, take enough.

The last 500 is sealed away. This is an emergency card, never to be touched.

Many people are different — go all-in with one shot, and a slight reversal causes a blow-up. Those who stay in the game have a chance to win.

**Second rule: close your eyes during sideways markets.

Most of the market time is chaotic, and this guy’s method is even more ruthless — if no trend is established, turn off the software and refuse to look. Once the direction is clear, then jump in and take a bite.

Another detail: if profits exceed 20%, immediately take out 30% to secure gains.

The difference between a master and retail traders is so simple: they wait most of the time, and when they act, they eat full.

**Third rule: write it down with pen, lock away the inner demons.

Before each trade, he genuinely writes down three bottom lines:

If a single loss hits 2%, it must be cut — no discussion.

When profit reaches 4%, halve the position immediately, and stash the profit in your pocket.

Absolutely no adding positions. Even if the market looks great, no adding — that’s the bottom line.

The essence of trading isn’t about gambling on emotions, but executing the plan. When you treat trading as an executable process, making each step a routine, there’s no room for emotions to cause chaos.

In the end, opportunities in the crypto world are plentiful. What’s truly lacking is someone who can survive.

Are you also trapped in the cycle of emotions? Change isn’t that hard. The hard part is whether you really want to change. To break through, what you need isn’t another story of sudden wealth, but the discipline to endure boredom, to record and execute consistently.

It sounds easy. But how many can really do it? Sadly, very few.

Well, the core issue hasn't been resolved — this set of rules itself is also a product of survivor bias.

That's right, discipline is the only passport to making money. People who act emotionally deserve to be cut off.

Discipline is easy to talk about, but when it comes to actually practicing it, you realize what hell really is. I also want to be the kind of person who can close the software, but in reality... there's always a reason to hit refresh.

Discipline is important, but I think the key is mindset. Most people are just doomed by greed.

That's right, discipline is the only key to making money. But I just want to ask, how many people can really resist the urge not to check the market. Trading, at its core, is repeatedly verifying the same truth; most people get stuck at the emotional hurdle. The three-position strategy is indeed ruthless, but 99% of people start trembling at the first sign of a counter-move. The key still lies in execution. I think writing notes as a detail is brilliant; physical constraints are much more effective than psychological suggestions. There are opportunities in the market every day, but very few actually stay alive to exit.

Sounds like motivational talk, but someone actually managed to do it... I just can't carry out that cold-blooded act.
