In the crypto space over these years, I've seen too many people come in and too many leave. Fewer than one in ten manage to survive.


My cousin almost became one of those nine. Three months ago, he came to me with 30k, looking lost. I gave him ten sentences and said just follow them, don't overthink. He listened. Three months later, his account grew to 110k with zero liquidations. That day he asked me, "Cousin, how did you come up with these ten sentences?"
I said it's not that I'm smart, it's that I've been stupid. Every liquidation, chasing highs, and holding onto losing positions eventually converged into these ten sentences.
I'm writing them down today in hopes of helping you avoid a few pitfalls.
First, when your capital is small, never go all in. Catching one truly big move in a year is enough.
Second, don't touch what you don't understand. Losing money often comes from touching projects you never really understood.
Third, stay calm when good news comes out. Sometimes the moment the news lands is exactly when funds start to cash out and flee.
Fourth, close your positions before holidays. Market volatility tends to be higher at these times, with greater risk, not worth holding through.
Fifth, keep cash on hand for medium-term trading. Buying low and selling high is more practical than trying to capture the entire move.
Sixth, for short-term trading, only trade coins with volume. Without volume support, no matter how good the pattern looks, it won't go far.
Seventh, a grinding downtrend is the most painful, but truly rapid bounces usually occur after panic accelerates.
Eighth, admit when you're wrong. As long as your principal is still there, opportunities will come again. $SLX
Ninth, short-term trading is all about rhythm. Many people stare at the 15-minute candlestick chart to find entry and exit points, but if the rhythm is off, nothing works.
Tenth, you don't need too many trading methods. Find one or two that suit you and polish them repeatedly — that's better than anything else. $HEI
In this market, making money isn't actually the hardest thing. The hardest thing is to stay at the table. Avoiding one pitfall can sometimes be more valuable than making an extra profit. Come talk to me, and I'll teach you how to simplify trading. $LAB

Rule 8: Admitting mistakes when buying wrong is crucially important. I've seen too many people turn short-term positions into long-term ones, and long-term ones into inheritance.

I deeply understand that rule about closing out positions before holidays. Last year, the positions held through the Chinese New Year are still in the process of unwinding and getting back to breakeven.

These ten rules were indeed earned through blood and tears; it took me three full-margin positions with forced liquidations last year to understand the weight of the first one.

My cousin made 80k in three months with zero liquidations. His execution ability is way better than mine. Back then, I knew the principles but couldn't control my own hands.
