To be honest, I’ve basically experienced every way to blow up in this industry—getting instantly liquidated on contracts, chasing pumps in altcoins only to get cut in half, getting chopped back and forth until I was numb. At my lowest, my account had just a little over 10,000 USDT left, and I would stare at the candlesticks until dawn.

But now my account balance is in the seven-figure range. It’s not because of some mysterious signals or insider info, but because I turned all my past failures into three strict, non-negotiable rules.

**Rule #1: Don’t dream of getting rich overnight—survive first by understanding probability**

Most people lose it all because they’re always fantasizing about getting rich. Turning 100x sounds great, but have you done the math? You’d have to double up ten times in a row, and just one 30% drawdown in the middle will kick you out of the game. Now, I only take the most certain segments of the market, grab 3%-5% profit, and get out. Not being greedy is what actually lets you compound steadily.

**Rule #2: Only touch mainstream assets—everything else is just gambling**

Those hot altcoins and new concept projects have terrible liquidity; a single whale can crash the price. Now I only trade BTC and ETH perpetual contracts year-round—the depth is good, slippage is low, and at least I won’t get instantly liquidated by random wicks.

**Rule #3: Don’t trade blindly—use math to control your impulses**

The core of making money isn’t about how many times you multiply your capital, but how well you control drawdowns. I set strict rules for myself: no more than two trades per day (frequent trading just feeds the platform with fees), close positions immediately after 3%-5% profit, and once my principal hit 30,000 USDT, I use a modified Kelly formula to adjust my position sizes. Most people lose because they get greedy after making money, ramp up the leverage, and end up back at square one.

After staying in this market for a while, you’ll realize that the ones who truly make money aren’t those shouting signals every day, but those who can resist the urge to overtrade.
