Trading cryptocurrencies over the past few years, I have experienced both clearing out positions and turning things around. In the end, I realized—making money has never been about any advanced techniques; rather, it’s this set of "as simple as can be" methods—simple and straightforward but truly effective.

**Level 1: You Must Survive to Talk About Money**

I’ve seen too many people leave the crypto world forever after a single liquidation. Any trading system that can’t withstand a pullback is just a paper tiger. Defensive play is better than aggressive, and simply staying alive is a victory in itself.

**Level 2: Doing Less Is Earning More**

This market doesn’t reward you for frequent trading. Instead, those who observe calmly and only act at key moments are the most efficient. Greed will only swallow your profits back.

**Level 3: Look at Two Extremes**

Starting with the same 80,000 capital, the outcomes are completely different.

The negative example is this: full position with leverage on Matic or Ethereum, adding to positions during dips, holding through until liquidation. Funds are wiped out instantly, and people break down.

The correct approach is:
- Use only 15,000 as the core position
- Set a 2% stop-loss and 4% take-profit for each trade
- Select 3 high-probability opportunities each month

What’s the result? Monthly returns stabilize between 6%-9%, and annualized compound interest easily exceeds 120%. Numbers speak for themselves.

**The "Six-Word Formula" of Experts**

What to do: Use idle funds, stay disciplined, follow the big trend.

What not to do: Go all-in, hold through without stop-loss, chase both longs and shorts simultaneously.

**Final Warning**

The futures market is not an ATM; it’s a meat grinder. Those who gamble with living expenses usually end up as cannon fodder. Only those who truly protect their principal and survive long enough deserve to talk about "big money" in crypto. This is not motivational talk; it’s a bloody lesson.
