#数字货币市场洞察 Many people say the crypto market is just a casino. But those traders who consistently make profits never rely on luck.

I know a friend who just entered the market, starting with only 1800U. His mindset was very laid-back—"Just giving it a try, if I lose, I'll consider it tuition."

Three months later, his account showed 29,000U. Now he's steady at around 58,000U. More importantly: he never got liquidated even once during this period.

The methods he used actually come from a set of trading logics I repeatedly validated when I started snowballing from 8,000U years ago.

**First thing: Separate your funds**

It sounds basic, but most people can't do it.

Many traders are used to going all-in, and as soon as the market pulls back a bit, they panic—their account hasn't even been liquidated yet, but they're already losing their nerve.

I had him split his 1800U into three parts:

- **600U for intraday trades**: At most one trade per day; exit immediately after hitting the target, no hesitation.
- **600U for swing positions**: Might only move once every ten days or so, focusing on capturing the big trends.
- **600U as a reserve position**: Completely untouched, used to protect your life and keep your mindset stable.

Splitting funds isn't about making more money, but about surviving longer. In the market, staying alive is more important than anything.

**Second thing: Wait for the big moves, don’t trade aimlessly**

The crypto market spends 80% of the time moving sideways.

The more you want to "make money every day," the more likely you are to lose every day.

When there’s no clear trend, trading is basically just giving money to the market. Only when a trend emerges can you capture an extended profit run.

So I set a rule for him:

When a single trade makes over 20% profit, immediately withdraw 30% to lock in gains.

The real pros aren’t those who trade frequently, but those who either don’t trade at all, or when they do, they capture a big move.

**Third thing: Use rules to restrain yourself, don’t let emotions destroy your trades**

I set three hard rules for him; if you follow them, you’ll immediately increase your survival rate:

1. **Set stop-loss at 2%**: Cut losses when hit, don’t hesitate, don’t hope for a rebound.
2. **Reduce position at 4% profit**: Turn floating profits into realized gains.
3. **Absolutely no averaging down**: Averaging down isn’t a technical move, it’s an emotional reaction. Keep doing it and your account will disappear.

When you can control your emotions, the market will naturally leave you the profits.

$ZEC Money is not made through impulse, but through systems and execution.

Going from 1800U to 58,000U wasn’t luck, it was methodology.

Avoiding liquidation is winning. If you have a system, you can win in the long run.
