#BinanceABCs $XRP Have you ever seen someone truly making money in trading? I’ve met a few.

They all share a common trait—being unshaken by emotions. Just like running code, they enter when it’s time, exit when it’s time, cool and a bit terrifying.

$FHE People who lose money follow pretty similar routines. It’s not that they don’t understand the market, but they can’t control themselves. Once emotions take over, all plans go out the window.

A trader I know started with 1,500 USD and turned it into 53,000 USD in three months. The key is—he never blew up his account. How did he do it? Essentially, he followed three anti-human rules, which are executed with machine-like precision.

**Rule 1: Always keep a third of your capital in reserve to leave yourself a way out**

Split 1,500 into three parts. 500 USD for day trading, focusing only on the safest opportunities—take profits quickly when advantageous; 500 USD for swing trading, patiently riding trends—sometimes waiting over ten days before making a move; and the last 500 USD stays in the account, never touched. This is your lifeline.

Most people go all-in right away and get shaken out with the first tremor. Only those who stay in the game can truly win. Keeping a reserve is actually giving yourself a chance.

**Rule 2: Don’t watch sideways markets—only trade clear trends**

Most of the time, the market is grinding sideways, doing nothing. His secret weapon is—if there’s no direction, close the software and don’t touch it. Wait until the trend is confirmed before entering, and don’t rush—gradually nibbling at the most certain gains.

Another detail: once he’s made 20%, he immediately takes out 30%. The dividing line between a pro and a retail trader is here—most of the time they wait, but when they finally trade, they maximize profits.

**Rule 3: Use pen and paper to lock in emotions—write your rules before trading**

Before each trade, he copies down the three ironclad rules:

Cut losses at 2%—no buts. When profits reach 4%, cut half of the position and put the profit in your pocket. Never add to a position; even if you’re confident, don’t move.

Trading is about executing a process—there’s no room for emotion.

The crypto market is full of opportunities; the real danger is those who don’t make it to the end. Are you also caught in an emotional cycle? Changing is not hard; the hard part is making the decision to change. What’s needed isn’t the next get-rich-quick legend, but the discipline to keep records and accept the dull but necessary routines.
