Rather than fantasizing about getting rich overnight, it's better to learn how to live well.

I've seen too many beginners start with a few hundred dollars, full of dreams of doubling their money, only to be wiped out by the market before they even realize what happened. After observing this pattern, I realized it's not just bad luck, but that they started off on the wrong foot from the very beginning.

I myself started with a few thousand dollars, learning through trial and error, and developed a stable method—most importantly, I’ve never had a margin call. One of my students started with 1,500 dollars, strictly following my strategy, and in one month, his account grew to 30,000. Now, his account is stable above 46,000. This isn’t luck; it’s the inevitable result of using the right approach. Today, I want to share three core principles that have helped me survive in the crypto world and continue to make steady profits.

**01 Capital Allocation: Staying Alive for the Future**

I call my capital management the "First Line of Survival." Many people lose money not because they can't read the charts, but because their capital allocation is a mess.

I now use a "three-part division"—dividing funds into three separate accounts:

**First (40%): Short-term Quick Trades**. Focused on high-probability short-term opportunities, following one rule—"One trade per day, take profit at 3%-5%, then stop." The crypto market is volatile with many opportunities, but also many traps. Data shows that 92% of high-frequency traders lose money; frequent trading is essentially a form of self-sabotage. Instead of chasing every opportunity, it’s better to observe like a hunter, waiting for confirmed signals before making a decisive move.

**Second (50%): Swing Trading**. Patience for large swings on the daily chart, such as breaking through key resistance levels or falling below important support levels, with proper stop-losses in place. This is the main driver of account growth, emphasizing "big trends, big opportunities, low frequency."

**Third (10%): Laboratory**. Used for testing new strategies and new coins, purely for learning. Losing here doesn’t hurt.

What are the benefits of this division? If one part encounters problems, the other two can continue operating, ensuring the account is never wiped out by a single mistake.
