Trading Discipline



Four Red Lines for Entering Positions

If you miss any one of them, you absolutely cannot place an order:

1. Never hard-buy a long at a resistance level, never hard-sell a short at a support level, and never operate against the trend at key points;

2. All entry price levels must be planned in advance before the trading session; before opening a trade, set both the stop loss and take profit completely in advance—if you didn’t set them properly, do not take the trade;

3. If the calculated potential profit is not greater than the risk of loss, immediately give up—there’s no need to gamble on small-probability outcomes;

4. If you can’t place the stop loss and take profit at the specified positions, do not touch it—never enter a trade naked.

Core bottom line: Don’t impulsively open trades just because you feel heated; every action must follow the rules set in advance.

Intra-day Execution Rules of Iron

1. First requirement for intra-day trading: every single trade must include a stop loss—no exceptions, and must be executed unconditionally.

2. The long/short direction given in the live stream can be followed across all three coins; after reducing position size to lock in profit, immediately move the stop loss to the corresponding swing high/low—first preserve the profit.

3. Everyone must enable bidirectional positions: when opening new short orders, simultaneously reduce part of the long positions that were previously built at lower levels—hold both long and short at the same time to lock in unrealized profits.
All orders in the live room follow a unified standard: when floating profit reaches 50%, reduce the position first; the remaining position sets an extreme stop loss—if triggered, exit with a small profit; if not triggered, hold on to bet on a bigger market move; if the trend continues, add positions and roll the position will be arranged again.

4. The daily reference levels provided can be entered, but you must distinguish market strength: if the market is surging hard, enter and exit quickly—if the price is directly broken through, don’t chase; if the market is weak, hold a bit longer and don’t rush to run.

5. Place the trading bottom line first: better to not make money, but absolutely never lose a lot.

Core Logic for Long-Term Profitability

People who can make money in the market for the long run never compete on how technically brilliant they are—they compete on execution.
Most retail traders trade based on subjective feelings—constantly entering and exiting throughout the day, and 90% of the time is spent trading; true experts who can steadily profit spend 90% of their time patiently waiting for signals. When the system issues instructions, they execute mechanically, with not a trace of personal thinking.

Trading done to the end becomes a closed loop: first build your own trading system, then strictly execute it, then patiently wait—when a signal appears, return to the system for validation, repeating the cycle over and over, and thoroughly repeat the simple and correct things.

Staggered Position-Building Method

Staggering entries can avoid missing the move and also control risk per single trade. Example using opening $100 per unit standard:

• Higher-risk positions near key levels: first put in 30% of the position; after the price breaks out with valid confirmation, add the remaining 70%; keep the stop loss at the original planned location unchanged;

• Relatively safer positions: first put in 50% of the position; after breakout confirmation, add the remaining 50%; the stop loss is set the same way as the original plan.

Staggered Take-Profit Thinking

To have profits every day and achieve stable compounding, you need to take some profit off the table first.
When the position is in profit, first close 30%-50% of the total position to realize gains; then use the already-earned profits to bet on the continuation of the market move. Even if the market later reverses and the remaining position is stopped out and exited, the overall trade is still profitable and you won’t end up working in vain. In principle, every trade should put real, tangible profit into your pocket.

How to Use Reference Levels

All provided levels can be entered if you set the stop loss; after a stop loss is triggered, when the next price reaches the level again, you can enter again—you don’t need to judge subjectively whether it’s valid or not; just follow the rules strictly.
Set price alerts for all your levels; when the alerts ring, first observe the order book: if the price rushes through directly with no pause, don’t enter; if the level hasn’t been reached yet, be patient and wait—once it’s reached, enter decisively.
Strictly forbid going all-in and “betting everything.” Using a week as the unit, set the total opening budget for the week in advance, strictly control position sizing, and don’t add recklessly.

Account Funds Allocation

It’s recommended to split into two accounts to isolate risk for better control:

1. Spot + long-term futures account: the holding period is usually more than one week, accounting for 80% of total funds, used as the foundation position for long-term value growth;

2. Ultra-short-term futures account: holding period ranges from a few minutes to a few hours, accounting for 20% of total funds, specifically for intraday short-term trading and tactical bets.
The short-term account’s daily profits should be transferred regularly to the spot account to let the gains accumulate and gradually build a snowball.
