#数字资产动态追踪 has been navigating the crypto asset market for 8 years, experiencing several cycles of boom and bust. The traders who survive are all holding the same thing — a set of unbreakable bottom lines.



To be honest, these principles may not make you get rich quickly. But they can do one more important thing: keep you active in the market. Staying alive is the only way to have future opportunities.

**Concentrate your positions, don’t spread out**. When your funds are small, don’t try to do everything. Too many targets equal to leaving your fate to luck. During strong trends, focus your fire; when the market weakens, lighten your positions and observe.

**Follow the trend, don’t guess the top or bottom**. A rebound doesn’t mean a reversal; a rise during a decline is often a trap. The real entry point is: a pullback in an uptrend. Going with the trend is always more profitable than guessing the direction.

**Don’t trade without volume**. Volatility without sufficient volume can’t be sustained. Only when funds and market sentiment are both active is it worth participating. If you can’t wait for that condition, just stay on the sidelines.

**Set strict stop-losses, be steady with take-profit**. Before entering, set your stop-loss levels. Once triggered, exit immediately — don’t hesitate. When in profit, slow down; holding onto profits tightly is the real skill.

**Enter quickly, exit even faster**. Hesitation can cause missed opportunities; dragging on can lead to getting trapped. Many traders’ life or death depends on how fast they can exit.

**Before adding to your position, ask yourself**: If I’m currently flat, do I dare to buy now? If the answer is no, don’t add. Adding is meant to amplify profits, not to fix bad decisions.

**Don’t trade too frequently**. Frequent trading drains your energy and mental state. The difference between a master and a rookie is whether they can catch a complete trend.

**Bottom fishing is a trap**. Large dips ≠ safety. Most losses start from reckless bottom fishing.

These may seem like old-fashioned rules. But sitting steadily at the market’s card table, it’s these simple rules that matter. Someone who runs fast can’t go far — choosing the right direction is a thousand times more important than reckless action.

That's right, living is the real winner. Those who want to go all-in and get rich quickly, the grass on their graves is already two meters high. --- I have deep experience with bottom-fishing; only after losing blood and sweat did I understand what "you get what you pay for" means. --- The speed of exiting the market is truly a matter of life and death. Hesitating for just two seconds can kick you from heaven to hell. --- Frequent trading really hit home for me; last year, the fees alone were enough to buy me a meal. --- Focusing all your firepower feels great, but you really need strong mental resilience to do it, or your mindset will collapse first. --- How many people can really be ruthless and stick to their stop-loss once it's set? Anyway, I often can't do it. --- These few rules seem simple, but the number of people who can survive a bear market with them is fewer than two hands. --- The analysis of volume is excellent; a lack of momentum rebound is just the prelude to being harvested by the chives. --- I just want to ask, how many people can resist the temptation of "this time is different"? --- Stop guessing the top and bottom every day; very few can truly do it.

I am a long-term dreamer, a trader who has been navigating the crypto market for many years. Comments on this article: After listening to stories for so many years, I finally realize that being alive is truly the most important thing. Three years ago, I almost died from frequent trading. The saying "cut your losses harshly" hits hard. How many times have I only realized my mistake after liquidation. Now, I prefer to miss out rather than chase the high, waiting until trading volume is active again. Honestly, the most painful part is bottom fishing. I've seen too many people go all-in during a sharp decline, only for the market to drop three times more. It's truly a pit within a pit. I agree with focusing your firepower. Retail investors are just too greedy; wanting to do everything means you end up doing nothing well. It's better to stick tightly to one or two targets. The saying "the faster the people run, the farther they go" sounds old-fashioned, but it's true. That's how I survive now.

You're absolutely right, living is a hundred times more important than getting rich quickly. Really, I've seen too many people go all-in on a bottom call, only to drop out of the market altogether. I've also been burned by stop-losses before, but now that I've set them, I don't change them. Frequent trading is the most painful part; watching the market every day is just exhausting yourself. When there's no volume, it's really best not to move; holding cash and waiting is also a way to make money. I truly respect this logic from the experts; only through experience can you summarize it. That issue of adding to positions is just crazy—if you're afraid to enter, how dare you add? You're just asking for trouble. Bottom-fishing is really a big trap; I have friends who are stuck inside and can't get out. I totally agree that following the trend makes more money than guessing the bottom; I've lost countless times on false predictions before. Quickly exiting can really save your life; those few seconds of hesitation can be life or death.

Really, living is a thousand times more important than getting rich quickly. These words are hard to hear but hit the mark every time. --- I strongly resonate with focusing firepower; dispersing it only makes you bad at everything. --- Cutting losses is truly a life-saving thing. I've seen too many people die because they couldn't bear to cut losses. --- I've already stepped on the bottom-fishing strategy so many times. Now I just want to laugh at those rushing in when they see a dip. --- The bad habit of frequent trading still hasn't been completely broken. It's exhausting. --- Only follow the trend, don't guess the top or bottom. It's right to say that, but it's damn hard to execute. --- The speed of exiting really changed my fate. That procrastination used to kill me. --- Before adding positions, I ask myself that question every time. If I hadn't asked, I would have made several wrong trades. --- In terms of volume, I feel many people overlook this dimension, and end up losing money for nothing. --- Living within the market is enough; don't think about going all-in. Once this mindset changes, life gets much better.

Living is more important than sudden wealth, this sentence hit me. I've seen too many people get wiped out after a single market wave, yet they still boast that "going all in is faith." --- There's nothing wrong with that statement, but execution is truly hell. Those who survive have long since killed off greed. --- I have a lot of experience with frequent trading, last year I made about a hundred trades in a month, and in the end, I only made money from a complete trend, everything else was just fees and mental exhaustion. --- Bottom fishing is indeed a trap. I know a guy who went all-in like that, and he's still stuck at the bottom. --- Don't guess the top or bottom; many people have been ruined by this, and yet it's the easiest to get addicted to... --- The speed of exiting the market determines life or death, no exaggeration. A sluggish second could be the difference between a stop-loss and being trapped. --- I'm now living by this set of rules; the dream of getting rich quickly is long gone. Anyway, as long as I'm alive, I make money.

Living is more important than making money, this statement hits hard --- Cutting losses decisively, I respect this point. The hardest moment is selling at a loss, but it's also the clearest --- Frequent trading really kills your mindset. I am currently holding a cash position, which is actually making money --- Bottom fishing is a trap, I have deep experience with this. The biggest loss I ever had came from doing this --- Going with the trend is easy to say but hard to do, but it indeed makes more money than guessing the bottom --- Getting out quickly is more important than entering quickly, I have never done this well --- That self-questioning method for adding positions, I need to remember it, it's so practical --- If there's not enough volume, don't move. It seems like a waste of time but actually saves money --- Those who have survived 8 years have figured it out. I have only been in a few years and already learned my lesson well --- Focusing on a position is reliable. I used to want to copy everything, but I never managed to do it properly

Really, living is much more important than getting rich quickly. That’s so true. --- When it comes to stop-loss, I’ve suffered the most losses because I couldn’t bear to cut, and in the end, I cut all the way down to zero. --- I agree with avoiding frequent trading; making ten or more trades a day is basically paying for transaction fees. --- I’ve definitely fallen into the bottom-fishing trap, and it was a particularly deep one. --- My approach is the opposite of concentrated positions; spreading out everything resulted in no gains at all. --- Don’t trade without volume; this is the most practical tip, saving a lot of times getting caught in scams. --- Sometimes it’s just greed. Even when I know I should buy high and sell low quickly, I still drag it out, and then it’s over. --- These principles sound simple, but when it comes to actually executing them, you realize how difficult they are. --- Following the trend is always more reliable than betting against it. I am one of those who get killed by misjudging the trend.
