#数字货币市场洞察 From a Million to Zero, Then Back to a Million: A Set of Seemingly Clumsy Trading Rules

After spending a long time in the crypto space, I’ve seen countless stories. One person’s experience left a deep impression on me—in three years, they lost almost everything, but eventually made a comeback with an extremely “conservative” approach.

Calling it conservative is actually just four hard rules. But it was these seemingly restrictive rules that helped them avoid countless crashes later on.

**Rule One: Split Your Money Into Ten Parts**
Divide your principal into ten equal portions, and use at most 1.5 portions per trade. No matter how good the opportunity seems, never go all in. Later, they said this rule saved them more than once—the coins that were “guaranteed to go up” often ended up crashing the hardest. A position that lets you sleep at night is called an investment; if you’re watching the charts and losing sleep, you’re basically gambling.

**Rule Two: Don’t Withdraw Your Profits**
This one sounds counterintuitive. If you made money, shouldn’t you enjoy it? But they set a strict rule: don’t touch any profits, let everything compound. Lock in a 10% gain first, and use that profit as ammo for the next trade. It’s slower, but after half a year, their account grew faster than it did during frequent trading.

**Rule Three: Cut Losses at 3%**
This is the hardest to follow. If a coin drops 3% after buying, cut your losses immediately—no matter how promising it looks or whether you think it’ll bounce back. They did miss a few “quick rebound” opportunities because of this, but more often, it helped them avoid deep losses that made them question everything. You only get one chance with your principal, but the market will always have new opportunities.

**Rule Four: If You Don’t Understand, Don’t Act**
Staying on the sidelines when things aren’t clear is also a win. Even when people in the community posted profit screenshots every day, and coins were surging one after another, they stuck to not making a move. In six months, they only made 11 trades, but had a win rate of over 80%. Not every price swing is worth participating in—patience itself is an edge.

Six months later, their account was back to a million. Then they left the scene, saying they finally didn’t have to stay up late watching the charts.

In crypto, those who really make money aren’t usually the “smart” people chasing quick riches, but the “foolish” ones who carve rules into their bones. When trading becomes an act of discipline instead of an emotional release, the market turns from a casino into a battlefield you can predict.
