I have a student under my wing, who entered with 800 yuan and turned it into 18,000 in two months. Now the account is close to 30,000. Do you know what's the most heartbreaking thing? He has never been liquidated once.

Are you thinking this guy is incredibly lucky? Stop right there. Look carefully at how he operates, and you'll understand—these three iron rules have not only saved him but are also my core skills that took me from 5,000 to where I am now, skills that no longer require me to stare at the screen.

**First Trick: Diversify your funds, don't throw everything in at once**

This is the most easily overlooked and most deadly trap.

Operate your funds across three pools: The first 300 yuan for intraday trading, focusing on short-term fluctuations of Bitcoin and Ethereum, making 3-5% a day then stopping—killing greed immediately; the middle 300 yuan for swing trading, waiting for big news (like ETF approval or Fed movements), entering once and holding for 3-5 days, prioritizing stability; finally, the remaining 400 yuan as a safety net, never touching it when prices soar and never when they plummet—this is your capital for turning things around.

Have you seen too many people go all-in with just a couple of hundred yuan, get excited when they make profit, and panic when they lose? Eventually, their accounts are wiped out, and their dreams die. Surviving is more valuable than anything.

**Second Trick: Focus only on big opportunities, don’t just work for exchanges**

The harsh truth in crypto: 90% of the time, the market is just testing you; frequent trading feeds trading fees to others.

When there's no trend, lie flat—binge-watch shows, play games. Anything is better than reckless trading. When a real opportunity comes—like Bitcoin stabilizing at a key support level or Ethereum breaking its all-time high—that's when you should act. Set a target: take out half once you've made 15% profit on your principal. Real profits are when you actually withdraw cash and keep it in your wallet; the numbers in your account could be wiped out anytime.

Those who can sustain profits understand one fundamental rule: "Pretend to be dead most of the time, but when the trend hits, bite hard and then slip away." It’s that simple.

**Third Trick: Discipline above all, don’t let your mind and emotions hijack you**

Set your stop-loss at 1.5%. Hit that, cut—no bargaining. A luck-driven mindset is just digging a hole for yourself.

Conversely, once you earn more than 3%, immediately cut half and exit. Let the remaining position run; at worst, you walk away with everything. Never add to your position when you're losing; the more you try to recover, the deeper you get stuck. The more you chase, the more trapped you become, leading to despair and rash decisions one after another.

You don’t need to be right every single time. But you must execute correctly every time. Making money boils down to one sentence: Use rules to govern your trading, don’t let your passion and emotions ruin your account.

Honestly, having little capital isn’t the end of the world. What’s deadly is that mindset of "breaking even in one shot." That single idea can lead you straight to hell. 800 yuan can grow into 30,000, not through some miraculous luck, but through not being greedy, not panicking, and following the rules. It’s that simple, and it works so well.
