Cryptocurrency trading myths of getting rich overnight are played out every day, but those who can make money long-term never rely on luck—they depend on systematic methods and ironclad discipline. After years of market ups and downs, I’ve summarized 10 trading iron laws learned from practical experience. These are not some profound theories but the most straightforward and effective survival rules.

**Rule 1: When strong coins keep falling, it’s an opportunity**
If a coin drops from a high level, and it’s a strong currency, every deep correction is a golden window for low buy-in. Especially at the 9th day of continuous decline, institutions usually have already cut losses, and retail panic reaches its peak. Entering at this time can yield unexpectedly high win rates. The question is, do you dare to jump in during panic?

**Rule 2: Reduce positions immediately after two days of gains**
No matter how strong the coin’s momentum, if it rises for two consecutive trading days, sell part of your holdings without hesitation. Locking in profits is the top priority; keep some to follow the trend, but absolutely do not let the remaining profits be wiped out by volatility. This is a common trap for beginners—earning but still getting trapped.

**Rule 3: Don’t chase after a 7%+ surge the next day**
If a coin jumps over 7% in a single day, your first reaction must be to stay calm. Such a rapid surge often overextends short-term gains, and the next day it’s likely to pull back or even retrace. Those who chase in usually have to endure two or three days of losses before breaking even.

**Rule 4: Don’t buy coins that have lost momentum after a rally**
Coins that have doubled in the past have a special allure, but once they lose upward momentum, don’t think you’re a bottom-fishing expert. Restarting their rally takes time and new market sentiment catalysts. Reckless buying will only make you the person catching a falling knife.

**Rule 5: Switch out if a coin remains stagnant for three days**
If a coin shows no significant movement for three consecutive days, it indicates the market has no expectations for it. This “dead coin” state is hard to change in the short term. Give it three more days; if it still remains inert, decisively switch to a hot coin. Don’t stubbornly hold on.

**Rule 6: Cut losses on the second day of a loss**
If the coin you bought yesterday is already down today, the only correct action is to stop loss. Any hope or luck mentality will turn a small loss into a big one. Those who repeatedly verify this law number at least 80 out of 100.

**Rule 7: Master the rhythm of continuous gains, trading becomes simple**
This is the core rule. After a coin rises for two days, a correction can be a low buy. If it rises for three days, it usually peaks on the fifth day. More than five days of continuous rise generally indicates a short-term top—exit immediately. Internalize this rhythm, and 80% of market opportunities will be in your grasp.

**Rule 8: Volume and price must align for a true signal**
A surge in volume at a low point followed by a successful breakout signals the start of a major trend—follow it. Conversely, high volume at a high level with no price movement indicates exhausted buying power; don’t waste words—run. Trading volume is like the coin’s heartbeat; it can tell lies, but price can’t, and volume never lies.

**Rule 9: Always trade coins in an uptrend**
Use moving averages to judge the trend:
- 3-day MA turning upward indicates short-term potential
- 30-day MA upward shows a medium-term bullish foundation
- 80-day MA upward signals entering the main upward wave
- 120-day MA upward means the entire bull cycle is coming
Follow the trend; it reduces risk and naturally doubles profits.

**Rule 10: Small capital can turn around with methods and discipline**
Don’t give up because your capital is small, and don’t think that leverage of ten times will make you rich overnight. True wealth accumulation comes from correct methods, a calm mindset, and unwavering discipline. Stick to these three points, and even starting with small money, you can reverse the situation.

Final advice, and the most overlooked: don’t trade full-time, and never borrow money to enter the market. Keep this bottom line, avoid despair, and the wealth storm will come naturally.
