Many newcomers in the crypto space dream of getting rich overnight upon entering, but most of them end up failing within the first three months. Actually, beginners should focus not on returns, but on how to survive longer — that is, trading discipline.



Use 10U as experimental capital, split into two parts of 5U each. This allows for real trading without risking too much. Choose cryptocurrencies with good liquidity and relatively mild volatility, like ETH. Many ask why use leverage; it’s actually to quickly see your mistakes at very low cost, not to get rich in one shot.

Every trade must adhere to two bottom lines:

**Stop loss at 20%**. If 5U drops to 4U, turn around and exit immediately. Don’t wait, don’t hope for a rebound. Stop loss is your ticket to stay in this market.

**Take profit at 100%**. When 5U doubles to 10U, exit immediately. How the market moves afterward doesn’t matter; just follow your plan.

Goals should be set in stages. Winning three trades in a row, starting from 10U → 20U → 40U → 80U, this process tests your discipline. Once reaching 80U, start dividing your position, with no single trade exceeding 10U, giving yourself at least 8 chances to make mistakes.

When your capital exceeds 200U, continue with the position-by-position risk management. Even if one trade blows up, it only affects that single trade, not the entire account.

The key points of this approach are: cut losses immediately if the direction is wrong, never go all-in, be decisive when taking profits, and only trade with isolated positions, not risking the whole account.

The essence of this method isn’t about how much you make, but about gaining confidence through discipline, learning humility from stop losses, and understanding risk control through position division. There are no shortcuts in the crypto world; only long-term discipline can bring stable wealth.

Hmm, this seems to describe some kind of "archaeological relic" of trading—each stop-loss line is a record of a fault left by predecessors. 20% stop-loss, 100% take-profit, these numbers actually reflect a long-term observation of human nature through discipline. Many people don't understand why it's necessary to execute the plan so "stingily"; little do they know, that is the art of survival.

Stop-loss is really the ticket to entry; without it, you can't really die, nor can you survive too long.

There's nothing wrong with the concept of stop-loss; it's just that most people simply can't do it, always hoping for a rebound or a further rebound.

As for stop-loss, it's actually simple—it's a matter of execution. I see too many people reluctant to take that 20% cut.
