Three life-saving rules: from 1,200U to 38,000U in $BTR
I’m really not some big shot.
I’ve been through three rounds of breakouts, and I’ve stepped into plenty of traps too—there was even a period where I watched the charts every day until the early morning, and the next day I kept working with dark circles.
So later, someone brought me 1,200U to find me. He didn’t ask for a fortune—he just wanted to slowly get back the money he’d lost before.
I didn’t go on about a bunch of complicated indicators. I only set three rules with him.
First, the money must be split.
1,200U is divided into three parts.
One part is for short-term trades: at most two trades per day, and once done, you’re finished for the day.
One part is for waiting on the trend: if it doesn’t break out and there’s no volume, then even if it’s tempting, you’d rather stay in cash and not move around.
The last part is for survival: if there’s no opportunity, just keep it there—no one is allowed to touch it.
The biggest fear for small funds isn’t making slow progress. It’s making one all-in move and getting wiped out.
Second, only eat the setups you can understand.
If the daily chart hasn’t held, don’t chase.
If the volume hasn’t shown up, don’t chase.
If the breakout is dragging along and hesitant, don’t chase either.
If the market runs, let it run. I’d rather make less profit than, out of fear of missing out, rush in with your chest and force it.
Many people aren’t short on opportunities to make money—they try to eat every kind of setup. In the end, one bite isn’t enough, and instead they end up overstuffing themselves and choking.
Third, have your exit plan figured out before you enter.
Before opening a position, write it clearly:
At what loss level you will exit,
At what profit level you will take profit,
And under what circumstances you’ll admit you’re wrong immediately.
Once you reach the stop-loss level, don’t look for reasons, don’t wait for a rebound, and definitely don’t think, “I’ll just hold on a little longer.”
Every day, when it’s time, shut down the computer—don’t let a single candlestick drag your emotions around.
Later, that brother really followed it.
In three months, he turned 1,200U into 38,000U.
Of course, I don’t think this is some kind of replicable miracle—market conditions and outcomes both have randomness.
But what he told me at the end is something I think matters more than how much he made:
“Turns out trading really doesn’t have to rely on gambling.”
After stepping into so many traps myself, I finally truly understood what that meant.
Opportunities show up every day, but your principal is only one.
Survive first—then you’ll have the right to wait for the next opportunity.#美国加密股指数涨5.04%
