I recently came across an interesting story. Three months ago, my friend couldn't understand candlestick charts, and half a year ago, he asked me "What exactly is Bitcoin?" Now, he's confidently inviting me to dinner and even offering to cover my bubble tea expenses—this guy started with less than 5,000 yuan in startup capital and managed to turn it into a six-figure profit in the market.

Does that sound like a fairy tale? It's not luck, nor is he particularly smart. Every day, people in this circle get rich overnight, but the vast majority are just stepping stones to be cut down. Those who truly survive and make money rely not on a single correct bet, but on a set of repeatable trading rules. I've been in the game for eight years, and the core principles I've summarized are threefold, especially suitable for small-scale starters.

**First Tip: The Three-Partition Trading Rule — Never Bet All at Once**

The most common mistake beginners make is going all-in. When the market fluctuates, their mentality collapses. So, the first ironclad rule is: your principal must be divided into three parts.

Pioneer Position (30%-40%): Focused on high-confidence trades. For example, when mainstream coins drop at key support levels, take a small position to do short-term trades. Take profits when your target is reached and don’t be greedy.

Guerilla Position (30%-40%): Used to wait for clear trend opportunities. When the market consolidates for a long time and suddenly breaks out with volume, or when hot spots switch to new sectors (like Layer 2 or AI-related on-chain applications), follow the trend.

Defensive Position (20%-40%): This money is meant to stay idle, only used to buy the dip during extreme market conditions. It also helps keep your mindset stable.
