There is a saying that is true: execution is more valuable than talent, and rules are more effective than luck.

Last year, I mentored a trading novice who hadn't even grasped the basics of candlestick charts. When faced with the array of red and green blocks on the market interface, he was confused and even suspected "Is this platform rigged?" He had a capital of 1000U, and was so nervous it was as if managing a huge sum.

After three months, that money grew to 10,000U. Many people guessed I had shared some magical indicator. But that’s not the case; he simply followed the most straightforward trading discipline, and managed to survive in the crypto world.

**Position Management: Divide 1000U into 10 parts for execution**

He didn’t go all-in; instead, he split his principal into 10 parts, only trading 100U at a time. Some laughed at his conservative approach, saying that this amount couldn’t cause any waves. He didn’t argue, but stuck to one principle—don’t pile all chips in one spot. Crypto market volatility is high; going all-in once is like a gamble at the roulette table. He knew his risk tolerance was limited, and rather than chasing quick doubles, he preferred to stay alive long enough. This kind of capital allocation may seem simple, but it helped him avoid countless liquidation traps.

**Simplified signals: Follow only two indicators, no trading if conditions aren’t met**

He didn’t chase hot topics or listen to news; he focused solely on two technical conditions: the 1-hour chart’s 7-day moving average crossing above the 21-day moving average, and the 4-hour MACD turning positive from below the zero line. Only when both conditions were met would he consider opening a position.

Once he saw that $ZEC was close to triggering the signal, he waited until early morning to confirm it. It sounds rigid, but this rigidity helped him avoid countless false breakouts and trap setups.
