I'm not a crypto guru, nor do I run courses or earn commissions. I'm just an old trader who has blown accounts and learned the hard way through countless pitfalls.

Last year, a brother came to me with $2,700 and said he wanted to recover his previous losses. I didn't talk to him about moving averages, MACD, or other complicated indicators. I simply shared three pieces of advice that I’ve learned the hard way. He followed them for three months, and his account grew to $50k without ever getting liquidated. How much you can understand from these "life-saving rules" depends entirely on how much respect you have for the market.

First, divide your funds into three parts: prioritize survival before seeking profit. Split the $2,700 into three $900 portions, and never reallocate them. This lesson came from my own experience of blowing a full position and losing sleep over it: trade short-term with one position, opening at most two trades per day, then close the software; wait for a clear trend before entering, and never trade if there’s no bullish pattern; keep one part as emergency funds—add to your position during a market crash to preserve the chance to turn things around.

Second, only profit from trends, not from choppy markets. I suffered heavy losses in sideways markets early on. Later, I only followed three signals: if the daily moving average isn’t bullish, stay out; only enter when volume breaks previous highs and the candle closes steadily; take half profits once you reach 30%.

Third, control your emotions and execute mechanically. Set a plan before entering: stop-loss at 3%, move your stop to break-even when profit reaches 10%, and stop trading at midnight every day.

Markets are available every day, but if your capital is gone, there’s no chance left. Master these three rules first, then study complex indicators—this is the long-term path in the crypto world. #Gate广场四月发帖挑战 #加密市场行情震荡
