Surviving the Bull and Bear thanks to the three disciplines of "going against instinct"

Many people ask me: “With a small capital, is there still a chance to turn the tables?”
I don’t answer with theory. I give real examples.
Last year, a friend came to me with 1,200 USDT. I didn’t teach indicators, didn’t draw complicated charts, I only told him three discipline rules that go against human instincts.
After 90 days, his account exceeded 50,000 USDT, without a single account burn.
Today, I will break down all the logic behind it. How far you can go depends on whether you have enough discipline with yourself.
Discipline 1: Cut Capital into Three Parts – Better to lose a finger than to lose your life
Even if you only have 3,000 USDT, you must divide it into 3 independent parts, absolutely no transferring funds back and forth.

1. Short-term Trading Capital (1,000 USDT)
   Maximum 2 trades per day, enough to close the software immediately.
   Goal: train market reflexes, not to make big money.
   Accept small losses and cut quickly.
2. Trend Trading Capital (1,000 USDT)
   Only trade when there are signals on the larger timeframe (Daily – Weekly)
   Example: Bitcoin has not formed a clear uptrend structure → stay out.
   Break previous high + volume confirmation → only then enter a trade.
   You might only trade 1–2 times a month, but profit significantly.
3. Survival Capital (1,000 USDT)
   Not for regular trading.
   Only appear when:

• The market crashes hard
• Opportunity: “Few wrongs, big wins”
  Even if the first two parts lose, you still have a ticket to stay in the game.
  Core logic:
  All-in = cut your head off → lose and leave the market.
  Divide capital = cut your finger off → painful, but still alive.
  Discipline 2: Only eat the thickest part of the trend – sideways markets are for turtles
  Most small investors die in sideways markets, not in big trends.
  My rule is extremely simple:
  Filter Noise
  Price not stable above MA200 on the daily chart → consider it noise.
  No guessing bottoms, no catching tops.
  Entry Conditions
  Break previous high + clear volume increase.
  Daily candle close confirms → only then enter the first trade.
  Lock in Profits
  When the account gains 30% → withdraw 50% of the profit immediately.
  Use trailing stop 10% for the remaining.
  Market gives as much as you take.
  Remember:
  Opportunities are never lacking.
  Only those with no capital have no opportunity.
  In 2023, Ethereum broke out strongly. I stayed out for 3 months of sideways movement, but when I entered, I caught more than 80% of the wave. Because I… know how to wait.
  Discipline 3: Lock Emotions in a Cage – Trading Must Be Mechanical
  Many people lose not because of wrong strategies, but because they can’t control their hands.
  My approach:
  Write a “Death Certificate” for each trade
  Before entering: fixed stop loss at 3%
  Hit the point → cut without thinking
  No forcing, no praying.
  Lock Emotions with Physical Actions
  Every day at 11 PM: turn off the computer, close the software.
  Insomnia → delete trading apps.
  At some point, I asked someone else to change the exchange password to avoid trading when emotionally weak.
  Only trade, do not analyze while entering.
  After trading hours:
  Keep a journal.
  Learn from experience.
  Absolutely do not open trades during review.
  Thanks to this, during Bitcoin’s sharp crash of 15% in just one day (April 2024), I didn’t lose a single dollar because the stop loss was set beforehand.
  Sincerely,
  3,000 USDT turned into 50,000 USDT.
  Not thanks to “secret tricks,” not luck.
  Only because:
  Made fewer mistakes than others.
  Lived long enough.
  And disciplined myself ruthlessly.
  Every day, the market offers opportunities. But if your capital is gone, opportunities mean nothing.
  Learn to protect your capital before thinking about getting rich. That is the long-term path in crypto.
