Eight years ago, I started in the crypto world with 30k yuan of principal, during a bull market, and my account kept rising, making me feel extremely inflated, naively thinking I was the "chosen one" naturally suited for the market.

But reality quickly slapped me hard; during a market pullback, I held my heavy positions stubbornly, refused to cut losses, and refused to give up, ultimately leading to liquidation and zero balance.
That period pushed me into a deep valley—debt-ridden, sleepless nights, lost and confused.
In desperation, I restarted with only $1,500.
This time, I completely abandoned the gambler's mentality, no longer dreaming of a single trade turning everything around, and focused on learning trading rules.
With nine anti-human discipline rules earned through real money, I steadily made my way to today.
For small funds, the primary goal is survival, not profit.
Strictly control trading frequency, only make one certain trade per day, stay out of the market if you don’t understand, never open reckless positions or gamble blindly.
When good news hits, it’s the point to realize profits; never fight the market at emotional peaks, avoid being caught on the wrong side.
Market volatility around major news or holidays is distorted, uncertainty is high, prioritize observing and reducing trades.
Never hold heavy positions for mid- to long-term trades; being overleveraged only drags emotions and turns into passive pressure.
For short-term trading, speed is key—enter decisively, take profits cleanly, rest when there’s no trend, avoid reckless order spamming that wastes capital.
Follow the market rhythm, don’t rush to buy the top or sell the bottom, avoid subjective predictions against market patterns.
Cut losses immediately when wrong; procrastination and hope only lead to complete exit.
Stop-loss is the last line of defense to protect capital.
Short-term trading doesn’t require complex indicators; 15-minute charts are enough to judge trends.
Clean execution is more important than fancy techniques.
After eight years of deep experience, I finally realized:
Technical analysis determines entry points, but mindset and discipline decide whether you can survive long-term.
The crypto world is never short of opportunities for quick riches, but the real difference isn’t a single big profit, it’s sticking to the rules and staying in the game long enough.
Those who can endure the cycles will eventually catch all the market moves.
I don’t play around; for friends who want to avoid pitfalls and earn steadily, don’t try to navigate the crypto world alone in the dark.
Keep up with the rhythm, $BTC
