If you want to make trading your lifelong profession, rely on it to make a living, and achieve social mobility—

This article is recommended to be read word for word.
Having seen all kinds of traders in the crypto world over nine years, what is the ultimate end? It’s never wealth freedom, luxury cars, and beautiful women, but—Hell.
I'm not trying to scare you.
What we face is not just candlestick charts, but the deepest human greed and fear.
Every order you place is a battle with your instincts.
Losing once is just losing money; losing repeatedly can cost you your confidence, your life, and even your entire self-perception.
Today, I want to share the survival rules I’ve learned from the doorstep of the King of Hell to save my own life.
If you understand, five years from now, you’ll stand at a different height and thank yourself for sticking through today’s hardships.
1. Never hold a position overnight
This is an iron law and also the last piece of shame.
Holding a position isn’t just about the trade; it’s about your life.
In a high-leverage market, one night of holding can leave you with no chance to turn things around.
Cutting your losses is painful—it’s like losing an arm to survive; not cutting means boiling a frog in warm water, leaving nothing behind but bones.
2. Unrecoverable floating losses are a deadly tumor
“Not closing a position means not losing” is the biggest lie in trading.
Floating losses can swallow your capital, distort your mindset, and turn you from a trader into a gambler.
All margin calls start with the phrase “Just hold on a bit longer, it’ll come back.”
Learning to cut losses decisively is a thousand times more important than trying to catch the perfect trend.
3. To learn trading, first learn to endure extreme poverty
Full-time trading requires preparation for months of no income, shrinking accounts, and family confusion.
It’s not about skipping a few meals; it’s about calculating every penny.
Only when you are forced to trade solely for “survival” can you strip away vanity and restlessness and move closer to consistent profits.
4. There is no holy grail in the market—only those who can master the rules
Moving averages, MACD, Bollinger Bands are just tools.
A mature trader simplifies their system and masters it to perfection:
Small losses in oscillations, big gains in trends, overall profitability.
Practice opening positions, setting stop-losses, and taking profits until they become muscle memory—then you are the soul of the system.
5. Never take yourself too seriously
The market won’t accommodate you, won’t listen to your reasoning.
The more you want to prove you’re right, the easier it is to hold positions overnight, add to positions, and stubbornly hold on until the bitter end.
Learn to step outside yourself, observe that impatient, arrogant self as an outsider—you will truly awaken.
The path of trading:
Grow through mockery, rise from lows, rebirth from destruction.
When you lose all your capital, face criticism, ridicule, and self-doubt,
and still manage to get up, review your mistakes, correct them, and strictly follow the rules,
the door to trading will truly open for you.
Those sleepless nights, the agony of cutting positions, the despair of holding overnight—
will eventually become your strongest armor.
To everyone fighting hard in the market:
Don’t give up. Keep going, brother!
