Eight years ago, I started in the cryptocurrency world with a capital of 30k yuan, coinciding with a bull market, and my account skyrocketed.

At that time, I was completely blinded by profits, blindly confident, convinced that I was naturally suited for trading. But the market never tolerates arrogance; a deep retracement immediately woke me up: at that moment, I was heavily leveraged, stubbornly holding on without setting stop-losses, fighting against the trend with an unyielding attitude, and ultimately my account was completely wiped out to zero.
Following that were overdue online loans, credit card debts, sleepless nights, and internal struggles, and I was in a daze for a long time.
In desperation, I was left with only $1,500 to start over, and this time I completely abandoned the fantasy of quick wealth through a lucky turn, understanding that the top priority in the crypto world has never been profit, but long-term presence.
After years of trial and error with real money, I summarized nine deeply ingrained anti-human rules, which are also my confidence to keep going:
Prioritize capital preservation with small amounts: avoid high-frequency trading with small funds, only make one trade per day, only trade signals that are fully understood, reject vague opportunities.
When good news is announced: market sentiment often peaks at the moment of public good news, avoid fighting the trend, and prevent funds from escaping when the good news is realized.
Avoid high-uncertainty nodes: major policies and market fluctuations around holidays are prone to distortion, uncertainty is high, and it’s best to stay on the sidelines and observe.
Long-term positions should always be light: heavy positions are easily swayed by emotions of rise and fall, causing mental fatigue at all times, and have long deviated from rational investing.
Short-term trading must be quick: enter decisively, take profits cleanly, stay out when there’s no trend, and avoid forcing trades just to show presence.
Don’t fight against the trend and the market: rapid rises are usually followed by rapid falls, slow rises tend to consolidate, give up subjective predictions, and follow the market rhythm.
Admit mistakes without hesitation: stop-loss is not a loss, but a way to preserve capital; delaying a stop-loss is just prolonging the loss.
I only do spot trading, not virtual trading. For friends who want to be steady, avoid pitfalls, and make steady profits, don’t walk the dark path alone in the crypto world. #我的Gate交易时刻 #Gate直通韩股股票 #预测世界杯法国VS伊拉克
