Having been in the crypto space for eight years, from futures liquidations to being trapped in scams, I once believed I had unraveled the market rules—until two months ago, I was still mocking those who say "exit at 30%."

Holding 100x leverage, I was convinced that "tenfold overnight" was the real skill. Staying up all night in front of the candlestick charts was normal, and I even boasted to friends, "This is the right way to seize wealth."

Then, the midnight spike happened. The moment the screen flashed "Position Zeroed," I trembled so much that my charging cable fell out.

Staring at the emptied account, I finally understood: all those years of so-called "trading experience" were, in essence, gambler's mentality mixed with luck. Huge profits are never a gift; controlling the rhythm is the real line of defense for survival.

Starting over with 1000U, I set three strict rules for myself. After 60 days, when I checked my account, the balance was still at 10280U. The method isn't as complicated as it seems; the key is to resist desire.

**Rule 1: Strict Position Control**

Divide 1000U into 20 parts, with a maximum loss of 50U per trade. In the past, I would go all-in on slightly better market conditions, but now even the most stable-looking opportunities are just taken shallowly. To survive in this game, you need to keep going for the next chance; greed ultimately leads to liquidation data.

**Rule 2: Exit at 30% Profit**

Whether it's BTC, ETH, or SOL, once floating profit reaches 30%, close all positions. I used to think this was a shame, but later I calculated compound interest: from 50% floating profit to 2.4 times, then tenfold in sixty days. Data never lies; it's always the greed of "wait a little longer" that deceives.

**Rule 3: Implement Risk Control**

Set a 10% stop-loss for automatic liquidation—no holding through losses; a maximum of 3 trades per day, and if exceeded, close the app; take 50% of profits to a cold wallet to "secure" gains.

Only focus on mainstream coins, watch for an hour during the Asian and US markets, and follow the breakout of volatility to enter. Ignore news and rumors altogether.

Some say this wastes fees, but for someone like me who has suffered big losses, paying for stability and compound growth is worth it.
