Six months ago, a fan came to me with $600 and asked how to operate. I gave a super simple method. She followed it for a month, and her account skyrocketed to $15,000. It’s not luck, but strictly adhering to the three rules I set.

First, don’t go all-in on a single trade; diversification is key. Divide your funds into three parts: one for short-term trading, with a maximum of two trades per day—take profits and stop; another for big market moves—stay out if the weekly trend isn’t upward; and a third for emergency funds—cover losses immediately to ensure a chance to turn things around.

Second, only trade in clearly upward trending markets. Stay out during sideways markets. If the daily moving averages aren’t arranged in a neat upward order, stay in cash. Only buy when the price breaks above previous highs with volume and the daily close confirms it. Take out half of the profit once it reaches 30% of the principal, and set a 10% trailing stop for the remaining position.

Third, control your emotions and trade like a machine. Write your stop-loss at 5% before placing an order and set it to sell automatically at that point; once you gain 10%, move your stop-loss to break-even. Never add to a losing position—that’s jumping into a fire pit.

There’s no secret to making money in crypto; just avoid being stupid, and you’ll survive. Surviving is the only way to have the chance to make money!
