From 20 Account Burnouts to Earning 1,000U Daily: 5 "Survival" Rules in Crypto

— To Those Struggling in the Cryptocurrency Market Today, I want to share a true story. A follower of mine – called Anh Minh – came to me when he had only 3,000U left, after 20 consecutive account blow-ups. Losing so much that… he felt nothing. Two months later, his account stabilized above 200,000U, with an average profit of about 1,000U per day. It’s not magic, not luck. The difference was created by a set of principles I call “risk management trading.” Below are 5 core rules that completely changed his results – and could do the same for you.

1. Leverage Is a Double-Edged Sword – Misuse Will Cut You The biggest mistake beginners make is using leverage to bet on the market direction. Anh Minh used to: Get caught up during a strong BTC rallyBuy the bottom when the market is falling Result: accounts kept blowing up. Leverage isn’t bad, but using large leverage without controlling risk is deadly. Just going 10% against a 10x leverage, your account is essentially wiped out. Rule number 1: 👉 Each trade should risk no more than 1–2% of total capital. For example: Account of 3,000U Each trade risks a maximum of 30U Even with high leverage, losses won’t affect your ability to continue trading. 👉 As long as you have money, you have opportunities.
2. Cut Losses Quickly – Living Is More Important Than Proving You’re Right The market doesn’t care about your entry price. One time, Anh Minh entered a buy order after a clear support break, but he: Didn’t cut lossesContinually added positions to “recover” Result: lost nearly 2,000U in one move. Rule number 2: 👉 Always set a stop loss before entering a trade – and strictly follow it. Practical tips: Buy orders: stop loss about 2% below supportSell orders: stop loss about 2% above resistance Cutting losses isn’t losing; it’s buying the right to keep playing.
3. Continuous Mistakes = Stop Immediately Trading is not just about technique; it’s about psychology. The more you lose, the more your brain wants to recover. And the more you try to recover, the heavier the losses. Anh Minh once: Made 5 consecutive mistakesWithin a few hours, lost nearly 30% of his account Then, I asked him to implement a circuit breaker. Rule number 3: 👉 After 3 consecutive losses → take a break for at least 1 hour After 5 consecutive losses → turn off the device and rest until the next day Don’t trade when emotions are controlling your fingers.
4. Take Profits When You Have Them – Moving Funds to Your Wallet Is Your Money Many people: Get excited when they profitReinvest all profits into the next tradeOne correction can wipe out all your effort The first time Anh Minh made 3,000U profit, I insisted: Withdraw 1,500U to your walletUse the remaining 1,500U for trading Rule number 4: 👉 Always withdraw at least 30–50% of profits periodically. Withdrawing money: Locks in profitsReduces psychological pressureCuts the root of greed
5. Trade Only When There Is a Trend – Stand Aside When the Market Is Sideways The market isn’t always worth trading. Most accounts blow up because they trade during sideways or choppy markets. Anh Minh only enters trades when: The trend is clearThere is a confirming signal Rule number 5: 👉 Only trade trending markets, ignore noise phases. The two signals he uses: EMA 9 crossing EMA 21 – buy signalCrossover down – sell signalPrice breaking support/resistance + strong volume If conditions aren’t met → no trade. Missing an opportunity won’t make you poor, but trading the wrong one will. Final Words Crypto doesn’t have a holy grail. What helps ordinary people survive and succeed is discipline. Anh Minh didn’t get rich by guessing market tops and bottoms, but because of: Risk controlAdhering to principlesPrioritizing survival first, profits second 👉 Small, consistent gains are better than all-in once. 👉 Learn to protect your capital, and the market will reward you. If you’ve ever blown an account or doubted yourself, remember: Learning and discipline are your greatest assets in crypto.
