Last year, I lost 800,000 U in crypto trading.
It wasn’t just money. It was confidence, sleep, and peace of mind. I deleted my trading apps. I stopped talking to people. I truly believed my journey in crypto was finished.$XRP
But deep down, I knew one thing: I didn’t lose because crypto was impossible. I lost because I didn’t have a strict system.#FARTHOUSE
At the beginning of 2025, I had only 3,400 U left. That was all. I told myself this was my final attempt. No emotions. No gambling. Just rules. #sol $USDC
What happened next surprised even me.
I turned 3,400 U into 80,000 U, then 120,000 U, and continued growing. I not only recovered the 800,000 U I had lost, but also made an additional 20,000+ U in profit.
This was not luck. It was discipline.
Here are the three simple rules that changed everything.
1. Survival Comes First
Most traders fail because they use too much money in one trade.
I divided my funds into two parts:
40% maximum for opening positions60% reserved as emergency capital (never touched)
If any single trade dropped 15%, I closed it immediately. No hesitation. No hope. No “maybe it will recover.”
The goal is simple: never get liquidated. As long as you survive, you always have another opportunity.
Crypto rewards patience, not aggression.
2. Follow the Trend, Don’t Predict
Trying to guess tops and bottoms is expensive.
Instead, I stopped predicting and started following:
When strong coins trend up, I go long.When the market trends down, I short with the trend.I focus only on the middle of the move.
You don’t need to catch the exact bottom or sell the exact top. That mindset destroys accounts.
Take the “middle” of the trend consistently. Small, steady wins build big result
3. Secure Profits Quickly
Making money is one thing. Keeping it is another.
After closing a profitable trade:
I reinvest only 30% of the profit.I withdraw or secure the remaining 70%.
This prevents giving back everything in one bad trade.
Your principal should not be at risk repeatedly. Profits should increase your safety, not your exposure.
The Real Problem in Crypto
There is no dead end in crypto.
What most traders lack is:
A clear risk management systemEmotional disciplinePatience
The market does not punish beginners. It punishes undisciplined traders.
Slow growth is powerful growth. Steady is sustainable.
Final Thoughts
If you are struggling in crypto right now, understand this:
It’s not about finding the next big coin. It’s about building a system that keeps you alive long enough to benefit from opportunities.
Stop trading based on emotions. Stop risking everything on one idea. Start protecting your capital first.
Survival leads to stability. Stability leads to confidence. Confidence leads to profit.
Crypto is not a game of speed. It’s a game of discipline.
Stay patient. Stay steady. Keep moving forward.
