I recently heard an interesting story from a friend—he knows a young guy who can't even read candlestick charts very well, yet used 2000U to make 220,000 in three months. This incident has indeed sparked quite a bit of discussion in the industry. Even more amazing is that this brother was asking just a month ago what red and green candles are.

Later, I found out that he actually just systematically copied a trading framework that has been validated over eight years.

These eight years have seen too many stories—some treat the crypto market as a pure casino, ending up losing everything. But from a different perspective, this market isn't a casino; the only entry barrier is: survive first, then make money.

**Position Management: Don't Lose Your Principal**

Divide 2000U into three independent accounts:

The first part, 600U, for intraday trading, limiting to a maximum of two trades per day, and taking profits once a 3% gain is reached.

The second part, 700U, for swing trading, only trading during uptrends, and staying put during sideways movements.

The third part, 700U, stored in a cold wallet, held as long as the platform operates normally.

The principle is simple: the market never lacks opportunities, but it lacks the funds to wait for those opportunities while staying alive. Last year, someone fully invested in altcoins and lost half a year's savings in half a day. Once the principal is gone, even the best market conditions are irrelevant to you.

**Trend Hunting Rules: 20% of the time trading, 80% resting**

80% of the crypto market time is spent in consolidation and sideways movement, with less than 20% in actual trending windows. Most people lose money because they trade too frequently—wasting fees on exchanges.

Here's a practical example: advise beginners to uninstall trading apps during sideways periods, and reinstall once the trend is clear. Last month, he endured 22 days of sideways movement, then Bitcoin broke through a key level, earning 18% in a week. After profits reached 15%, he took out 30% to switch to stablecoins. The gains from just last month were enough to buy a new phone.

True experts are not those who trade frequently, but those like hunters—patiently waiting for the right moment, then striking decisively.

**Discipline Enforcement: Use rules to lock down emotions**

Retail traders' biggest opponent is always themselves—greedy when prices rise, trying to bottom-fish when prices fall, and adding to positions when trapped—these emotional traps ruin countless accounts.

There are only three core rules:

- Stop loss if a single trade loses more than 1.5%.

- Take profit and reduce position immediately once a 3% gain is reached to lock in profits.

- Absolutely prohibit any form of averaging down.

He once encountered a coin he bought dropped 1.2%, and he thought about averaging down to lower the cost. I reminded him to recite the discipline. Later, that coin continued to plummet 10%, and he said: "Good thing I didn't average down, or my principal would be at risk."

Trading discipline is like a car's airbag—helping you stay steady amid wild swings. Stories of sudden wealth happen every year, but very few can turn market randomness into stable profits.

Rather than saying the market is ruthless, it's more accurate to say too many people want shortcuts, and in the end, forget the essence of risk management. This framework isn't mysterious; the core is to survive long enough, act precisely, and maintain a steady mindset.
