The core of this story is not about getting rich quickly, but about execution.



Three months ago, a complete beginner with no prior experience started trading with 1200U. Yesterday, she showed me a screenshot of her account: 51200U, and she never blew up her position during the entire process.

All she did was honestly follow three rules.

**Rule 1: Divide the money into three parts.**

The 1200U was allocated very clearly. 400U for intraday short-term trading, making only one trade per day and stopping when the time is up; 400U waiting for major weekly signals, lying idle without signals; the last 400U stored in a cold wallet, which is the "life-saving money" that never moves.

Many people's problem lies here—going all-in right away, but she first learned how to survive.

**Rule 2: Only trade in highly certain market conditions.**

I told her to focus only on the 4-hour chart, skipping signals with an average line slope over 30 degrees. Once she caught the trend and her account grew to 120% of her principal, she immediately withdrew 30% to her bank card.

This detail is very important—what you actually get is the money, while the numbers on the screen can change at any time. When there’s no market signal, take a break; running is a hundred times better than reckless trading.

**Rule 3: Let trading rules replace your emotions.**

Set a 2% loss limit for automatic stop-loss, and turn off the software without looking. Take half of the position when earning 4%, and set a trailing stop for the rest to let profits run. Most importantly—never add to a losing position, to avoid doubling down on bad decisions.

She wrote these three rules on a sticky note and stuck it next to her monitor.

When we chatted three months later, she said her biggest gain wasn’t how many times her account multiplied, but that she could sleep peacefully every night.

If you still get emotionally disturbed by a few tens of dollars’ fluctuation, excited when opening a position, regretful when closing, then what you need isn’t some "insider info on 100x coins," but a system that can control risk and help you stay calm and consistent.

In this market, avoiding detours is far more valuable than the thrill of earning several times more.

Honestly, that last sentence really hit home. Not everyone is suited for making quick money. --- Splitting this into three parts is brilliant. I was a fool who went all in before, and now my account is gone. --- I get that the 400U in the cold wallet never moves—that's true risk management. --- Being able to sleep peacefully every night is more valuable than doubling your returns. --- Post-it notes next to the monitor haha, it takes a lot of self-discipline to really follow the rules. Most people can't last a week. --- So the key is still execution, not luck. I believe in that. --- The 4-hour chart + 30-degree setup is indeed reliable, much more effective than blindly reading various news. --- The harshest rule is not to add to your position after a loss. I’ve been ruined by this before.

The indicator of sleep quality is really underestimated; few people in the crypto world can achieve it.

To be honest, I understand all this stuff, but it just doesn't work when it comes to execution. Writing it on a sticky note? Ha, my sticky notes are all in the trash can.

Sleep quality is much more important than account numbers; this is what I have realized.

This girl really understands, unlike most people who think about getting rich overnight every day. Taking out the profit at this step is crucial; how many people have millions on paper but end up losing everything in one wave? I'm now that fool whose mentality was messed up by a few U's. After watching this, I really should reflect.
