Trading is a form of cultivation: the three "rules" I’ve earned with real money
In the ups and downs of candlestick charts, we’re not trading numbers, but our own greed and fear. Looking back on these years of trading, I have some deep insights to share:
1️⃣ The rule I will never break again: Never catch falling knives without preparation
I used to think I could catch the "big bottom" of the century, and whenever there was a sharp decline, I wanted to go all-in. After experiencing several deep losses, I realized: the trend is your friend, and left-side trading is a game for geniuses and crazies. Now I’d rather miss out on the first 10% of gains than enter the market before the trend is confirmed in stages. **"No stop-loss" is called suicide, "going all-in" is gambling. I will never cross these two red lines again.**
2️⃣ The most “heartbreaking” trade and cognitive upgrade
It was during a meme coin craze when I blindly followed a big V’s “inside information” and heavily invested. As a result, due to excessive leverage, I was precisely liquidated during the last spike before dawn, and within a week, that coin tripled in value.
• Cognitive upgrade: The market owes you nothing in explanation. That trade made me realize that position sizing is a thousand times more important than predicting exact entry points. The prerequisite for holding steady is that your position won’t keep you awake at night.
3️⃣ Advice to my first-day self in the industry
If I could go back to that day, I would pat myself on the shoulder and say, “Slow is fast.” * Don’t always think about getting rich overnight; first learn how to survive in this market.
• Bitcoin is the foundation; don’t waste too much energy on trash coins.
• Build your own trading system, even if it’s simple, as long as it can be repeated. That beats a thousand so-called divine indicators.
