#数字资产行情上升 People often ask me whether they can make money through trading.



Yes. I have indeed seen people multiply their holdings several times during a market surge.

But what is the most common outcome in reality? Losses. The most frequent way to lose is—before making money, you haven't learned how to live, and in the end, your account is wiped out.

I have walked that path myself. I’ve cleared my account more than once, each time feeling like there was no hope. Only later did I gradually understand a truth: surviving is much more important than making quick money.

The following experiences are not some secret to getting rich; frankly, they are basic skills for survival.

**1. Don’t rush to analyze long-term value.** When your funds are still small, follow the trend. Counter-trend operations will only be repeatedly consumed by the market. Wait until your account grows before discussing value investing.

**2. When good news comes out, first adjust your positions.** How many times has it happened that after a news announcement, the market doesn’t soar straight away but immediately cashes out? Watching others profit while you get hammered is uncomfortable.

**3. Proactively reduce risk before taking a break.** You see it as a rest day, but the market sees it as a black swan event. Bear markets, policies, sudden incidents—who knows what will happen. Avoiding risks in advance makes you feel more at ease.

**4. Don’t wait for perfect reversal signals.** During a decline, entering in batches is much safer than going all-in at once. The same applies to top-tier coins like $BTC ; layering entries on pullbacks significantly reduces risk.

**5. If you want to do short-term trading, focus on volatility and divergence.** The more turbulent the market, the easier it is to find opportunities. But the premise is that you must clearly see the direction of divergence.

**6. A big drop isn’t a forbidden zone; the key is whether you have a plan.** Going in without a pre-set plan is more dangerous than the decline itself. Impulsive actions will accelerate your account’s decline.

**7. Stop-loss is a fundamental skill.** Holding on beyond your risk tolerance is not bravery; it’s automatically amplifying mistakes. If you can’t handle one mistake, there won’t be a next time.

**8. Short-term trading requires a sense of rhythm.** If you can’t keep up, exit. Making enough profit to reach your target is enough. Greed is the killer of short-term traders.

**9. You don’t need many methods.** A familiar set of logic, repeated execution, and strong discipline will naturally improve your win rate. It’s better than constantly changing strategies.

**10. Don’t always try to buy at the lowest point.** Most people don’t buy at the bottom; they become the bagholder halfway through. When your mindset collapses, the market is gone too.

Later, I only believe in one thing.

Those who can truly survive long-term in this market are not the bravest, but those who always have a reverence for risk. Opportunities are always present; the key is whether you are prepared to seize them.

If your direction is right, follow it; if your judgment is wrong, withdraw immediately. No dragging things out, no gambling out of frustration, no holding onto losing positions.

Many times, it’s not that the market has no opportunities, but that your mindset and ability haven’t reached that stage yet. When can someone start making money? It all depends on when they truly understand risk.

Experts never show off their skills. It’s all about two words: discipline. Repeatedly executing a set of logic, letting compound interest work over time. Slow is fast; live long enough to laugh last.

It's the same story again. I was also taught this way, only after clearing the account three times did I realize what it means to be alive. That stop-loss line really hits home. How many people endure until liquidation, and in the end, lose everything.

It's really true, too many people die at the moment they refuse to cut losses. Before making money, learn to avoid losing money—this phrase must be engraved in your mind. The most feared thing is the obsession of "I just don't believe it will fall," only to realize when the account is wiped out. I've heard too many stories; in the end, those who survive are never the most aggressive ones.

That's so true. Anyone who has cleared their account understands that kind of despair. I've suffered the most losses on stop-loss, always thinking it'll rebound, but it just keeps going down.

It's the same story again, saying nothing wrong but people still get caught. The key is execution, as most people fail at the stop-loss step.

Only after clearing the account do you realize that the hardest part of trading is not bottom-fishing, but staying alive. The words discipline sound simple, but truly executing it is a hellish challenge.

That's so true, only after clearing the account do you understand what it means to be alive. Discipline is indeed the key, but most people simply can't do it. Wait, why does your "bag holder" part hit so hard? That's exactly how I got trapped.

Another article encouraging people to keep living, the message is correct but it gets tiresome to hear. The key is still execution; I only understood after being reset to zero...

Honestly, the most heartbreaking part is the stop-loss. I once held on stubbornly and got liquidated directly. Losing everything once is okay, but doing it again really destroys your mindset. The phrase "Slow is fast" in this article hits home; too many people rush to double up and end up dying the fastest. But it's easier to say than do; placing an order is a whole different story.

Having cleared the account more than once and still daring to summarize experiences, this mindset is indeed tough, but to be honest, I still can't resist cutting losses...
