Having navigated the crypto world for these years, I increasingly understand one principle — making money has never been about luck, but about discipline. Many people ask me how I went from $1,000 to a million-level amount; actually, it’s nothing mysterious, just the right method, steady mindset, and strong execution.

When I first entered the scene, I only had $7,000. After converting to $1,000U, I didn’t just throw all of it in at once. Instead, I started with $200U, focusing on coins with active trading and genuine volume. For coins like $ZEC and $PIPPIN that have solid fundamentals, I study more carefully. I take quick profits whenever I can, and cut losses at 50U immediately. It may seem like a loss, but it’s actually protecting the principal. After several rounds of operations, my account started to improve.

But honestly, the biggest test isn’t technology, it’s mindset. When I earned over a thousand U, that excitement was hard to put into words — my fingers itched to place more orders. Yet I forced myself to stop trading for an entire day. Because I know very well, losing control emotionally is equivalent to suicidal trading. I’ve seen too many stories of overnight riches followed by overnight liquidations.

As my account grew to a certain level, I started using the "Three-Part Method" to allocate funds:

Type One funds for short-term trading — take profit at the target and withdraw, no dragging your feet. Mainstream coins like $SOL, with high liquidity, are especially suitable for this strategy.

Type Two funds for dollar-cost averaging — follow the rhythm of long-term cycles, ignore daily fluctuations, focus only on long-term trends. This part helps you stay calm during bear markets.

Type Three funds reserved — specifically for black swan events, only take action when truly big opportunities arrive.

Before each trade, I clearly write down the take-profit and stop-loss points in my notes, then execute exactly as planned, no changes. No plan? That’s gambling. Contracts are like a magnifying glass — they amplify your judgment ten or a hundred times. Wrong judgment loses faster, right judgment earns more — the key is whether you can control yourself.

In summary, I’ve set four bottom lines for myself, and no matter how big the temptation, I won’t break them:

1. Never fully allocate. Keep some bullets in hand so there’s room to maneuver if the market reverses.

2. Always set a stop-loss on every trade. This isn’t just technical; it’s mental — knowing your maximum loss makes you feel assured.

3. Open no more than three trades per day. Frequent trading only increases fees and makes you easily distracted by short-term volatility.

4. Withdraw a portion of your profits once you make money. The numbers in your account are virtual; only the money you actually withdraw is truly yours.

Frankly, many people make a profit relying on luck, but in the end, they lose everything because of greed. The biggest secret to holding on until now is just six words — discipline and patience. The market changes daily; coins rise and fall unpredictably. But staying calm, following rules — that’s the confidence that keeps you from being eliminated in this market forever.
