Eight years ago I entered the crypto space with 30,000 yuan and caught a bull run. My account was green every day. I was really full of myself back then, thinking I was the chosen one, born to make a living this way.


Then reality slapped me awake. One drawdown, I held heavy positions stubbornly, refused to admit defeat, didn't set stop-loss, and ended up going to zero. During that time I was deep in debt, couldn't sleep night after night, completely lost.
In desperation, I took a small amount of money and started over. The first thing was to quit the gambler's mentality, no longer dreaming of turning things around with one trade. I exchanged real money for a few hard rules, and relying on these, I've made it steadily to today.
The primary goal with small capital is to survive, not to make money. Control your hands, only trade high-certainty market conditions. If you don't understand, stay flat. Never force a trade.$ETH
When the good news is priced in, run quickly. Don't linger at the peak of sentiment. Don't wait for the market to reverse and harvest you.

Avoid trading around major news and holidays. During those times the charts are distorted. Watching more and trading less is the way to go.
Never go heavy on mid-to-long-term positions. Heavy positions will inevitably be hijacked by emotions, leaving you passively getting beaten.
The core of short-term trading is speed. Enter decisively, take profit cleanly. When there's no market, rest. Don't scalp trades unnecessarily.
Trade with the trend. Don't try to pick tops or bottoms. Don't force your subjective predictions against the market.
Cut losses immediately when you're wrong. Procrastination and wishful thinking are the fathers of liquidation. Stop-loss is the last line of defense for survival.
Don't mess with fancy indicators for short-term trading. Short timeframes are enough to see the trend. Clean execution is more useful than any technical analysis.
After all these years of struggle, I've realized: technique determines when you enter, but mindset and discipline determine whether you survive to the end.

The crypto space never lacks overnight riches stories. What truly separates people is not how much you made in a single trade, but who can abide by rules and stay in the game long-term. Only those who weather the cycles can catch all the market moves.
Only do real trading, no fluff. Brothers who want to avoid pitfalls steadily and make stable money in crypto, don't stumble around in the dark alone. Follow the rhythm, I'm always here, taking you to make real money with the most solid logic.

The saying “With small capital, prioritize staying alive first” is completely right. I used to always think I could turn it around with one trade, but instead I ended up sinking deeper and deeper into the mire, trapped deeper and deeper.

Techniques find buy points, discipline preserves life. What has been accumulated over eight years is far more valuable than those screenshots of sudden wealth.

I experienced that zero-out too. It's true that I couldn't sleep all night. Later I came to understand that survival is a hundred times more important than making quick money.

Apple stock price fell 6.1%. At this juncture, it's indeed wise to stay away. Both the crypto circle and traditional markets are the same—before major news, the market can easily become distorted.
