#数字资产市场动态 Turning 1,800 dollars into 80,000 dollars is really not about luck—it's about three ironclad rules that must be followed unwaveringly.

A buddy of mine came to see me at the beginning of the year, pocketing 1,800 USD. I thought he was just here to listen to some stories, but three months later, this guy had his account grow to 80,000 USD without ever experiencing a margin call. When I asked him for his secret? One sentence: Follow the rules.

**First Rule: Diversification is the Key to Survival**

You see many people go all-in right after entering the market, unable to sleep when prices rise, and doubting themselves when prices fall. My simple plan for him was—divide the 1,800 USD into three parts, each 600 USD. Use the intraday position for short-term trades, at most one trade per day, and close immediately if there's risk; hold a swing position for medium-term trends, and if there's no trend, just leave it be; keep a core position as insurance, and don't move even during large dips. As a result, during that big drop, he managed to come out unscathed.

**Second Rule: Don't Be Greedy and Eat the Whole Fish**

The real situation in the crypto market is: most of the time, it's just oscillating. Constantly watching the charts and making reckless moves, transaction fees and false volatility can wipe out your account. I taught him a trick: when there's no opportunity, rest honestly; when there's a chance, act decisively; if a single trade yields more than 20%, lock in some profits immediately—don't fight the market. During the recent ZEC rally, he calmly gained 30%, demonstrating top-tier trading skills.

**Third Rule: Turn Off Emotions and Be a Robot**

This is the most crucial—cut losses immediately at 2%, and reduce positions proactively when earning 4%. The cruelest and fairest rule in the market is actually very simple: winners are not necessarily the smartest, but those who follow the rules and survive.

Still being driven by emotions, itching to trade at every fluctuation, dreaming of overnight riches? The market will teach you a harsh lesson sooner or later. When you're truly ready to change, find me.
