90 Days Without Account Burnout: The "Triangle of Survival" Tips That Few Crypto Individuals Dare to Share

“Brother, I only have 3,000 dollars in crypto capital left, is there any way to recover?” Three months ago, I received this message from a follower named Khải. Just a few short lines, but reading it reveals a scent of desperation: following the altcoin wave, all in continuously, the account evaporated, living on instant noodles, with a mindset that is always in a state of “recover or die.” I do not promise account talent, nor do I paint a vision of x10, x20. I only say one thing: “Don't gamble anymore. To survive, you must trade like a salaried worker.” I gave Khải a system that I call “Network Protection Triangle” – prioritizing not burning the account first, making money later. 90 days later, Khải showed off a new computer, feeling relaxed, and no longer haunted by minute-by-minute charts. 👉 This article is not meant to boast achievements. It is a framework of thinking + practical discipline, aimed at small traders with limited capital who want to survive long enough to have a profitable day. I. Divide Capital into Three Parts: Trading Without Being Cornered The biggest mistake of retail traders is to put all their capital into one belief. When wrong, there is no way back. My principle is very simple: 👉 Divide the capital into 3 independent parts – each part has a vital role.

1. Daily Living Capital (1/3 Account ) This is a part of earning money just like bubble tea. Only trade 2 major assets with high liquidity Time frame H4 Entry conditions: Clear price breakout Strong volume increase Then retrace with reduced volume Target: Take profit at 1–1.5% Do not hold positions overnight unless necessary The thinking here is: It's not necessary to win big – just need to win consistently. Small but steady profits, compounded over time, are stronger than taking risks for a chance at luck.
2. Medium-term Wave Capital (1/3 Account ) This section is used to wait for high probability trades, do not trade every day. Only enter when: There is a clear divergence on the weekly frame The price is in a reasonable range, not at the peak Can: Not enter trades for 10–15 days But when entering, the target is 15–20% Advantages: Less stress No need to stare at the chart Avoid overtrading This is the part that helps the account to perform strongly when the market gives opportunities, not when you are anxious.
3. Survival Capital (1/3 Accounts) This is the lung of the account. Not for trading No FOMO No “borrow to place a sure-win order” The only function of this section is: Keep yourself from going all-in. Always have capital to return when a real opportunity arises. As long as there is money = there is a game. Out of money = out of everything. II. Only Trade When the Market “Allows” 90% of the time the market is not worth trading. Traders lose because they cannot sit still. I only turn on the machine when there are simultaneously 3 conditions: MA 5 – 10 – 20 stacked in the right direction Volume greater than the 20-day average by at least 1.5 times Does not break the old bottom with increased volume 👉 Missing 1 condition: do not enter. Special: Do not catch the bottom Do not think it is cheap Do not go against the trend Hard-earned experience: Retail traders buying the dip = providing liquidity to the sharks. III. Emotion Lock: Transform Yourself into a Trading Machine Money does not kill traders. Emotions are what kill accounts. I use 3 iron rules to lock my emotions:
4. Fixed Stop Loss 2% Set your stop loss as soon as you place the order. Do not move your stop loss based on emotions. Do not “wait a little longer.” Stop loss is not about cutting losses. 👉 It is a lifesaving airbag.
5. Profit 4% → Close Half Lock 50% to secure profits The remaining part: Use profits as a stop Let the trend run free Result: Not afraid of reversal No regrets if the price turns around Light mindset, precise decision
6. Lose 2 Orders in a Row → Take a Break Close appGo outsideDo not “uninstall” When emotions are heated: 👉 Every decision is wrong. IV. Conclusion: Survival Is the Highest Profit Strategy In crypto, the winner is not the person: Place the most ordersShow off the biggest profits But is a person: No account burning Not controlled by emotions Still standing firm when the market offers big opportunities “The Safety Triangle” does not make you rich overnight. But it helps you stay in the game. 👉 Live long enough – money will find its way to you.
