Making money in the crypto world is real; it all depends on how you play. It’s not about luck, nor is it purely emotional impulsive buying. You need a set of strategies that you can repeat consistently.

I have a fan whose success is the most convincing. His account started with only 1,800 USDT and grew to 29,000 USDT in three months. During that time, he never got liquidated once, relying solely on scientific risk control and clear thinking. Now his account is stable above 58,000 USDT. His success is actually a practical version of the methodology I used to go from 8,000 USDT to financial freedom.

**The first is position splitting.** This is the confidence to survive. Divide your principal into three equal parts, each with its own purpose. 600 USDT for intraday trading, focusing on one trade and taking profits when the target is reached—no greed; another 600 USDT for swing trading, making moves every ten days or even half a month, capturing waves for profit; and the last 600 USDT as a safety reserve, which you never touch regardless of how much the market drops—this is your last chip for turning things around. Many people start with full positions, and when the market drops once, they get wiped out, missing the rebound opportunities and losing the chance to profit.

**The second is a sense of rhythm.** Most of the time in crypto is spent in consolidation; sideways trading accounts for about 80% of trading time. During this period, frequent trading just costs you money in fees. What’s the correct approach? Be patient during sideways markets—don’t tinker; once a trend is established, then enter. This increases your win rate. When profits exceed 20%, cash out 30% to lock in gains, and let the rest run. True trading experts aren’t the ones trading most frequently, but those who know the best timing to act.

**The third is emotional management.** The key here is replacing unreliable feelings with cold, rules-based decisions. Cut losses at 2%, execute decisively without hesitation; take profits at 4% and reduce your position to secure gains; if you’re already in a loss, don’t add to your position—adding more only deepens the trap. Many people fall here, trying to recover losses emotionally, but instead they get caught deeper and deeper.
