Seven years in the market, from liquidation to stable profits, these 10 lessons are what I’ve gained through real money and bloodshed.


Brothers who have been trading crypto for over a year without making money, don’t rush to give up.
I’ve been in the crypto world for 7 years, stepping on pitfalls and staying up nights, countless times. Now, I won’t say I’m wealthy, but I’ve completely shed the “leek” mentality and achieved stable profits.
Today, I’m sharing with you the 10 iron rules for survival that I’ve summarized over these 7 years. If you can listen and take them to heart, at least you’ll lose half as much money.
1️⃣ Small capital (for example, within 10,000), never go all-in. Just catch one main upward wave per year. Before the market arrives, patience is your strongest weapon.
2️⃣ No wealth beyond your cognition. Before real trading, practice with a demo account to build your mindset and courage. Demo accounts allow unlimited failures, but one big mistake in real trading could mean the end.
3️⃣ Remember: good news landing is bad news. If a major positive announcement isn’t sold on the same day, and the next day opens high, it’s recommended to sell promptly, or you risk being trapped.
4️⃣ Be especially cautious during holidays. History repeatedly proves that reducing positions or even going completely flat before holidays is wise; holidays often see declines, it’s not just talk.
5️⃣ The essence of medium to long-term trading is to keep enough cash. Buy high and sell low, operate in cycles. Don’t always think about riding one wave to the end—that’s the game of big players, not retail traders’ dreams.
6️⃣ For short-term trading, choose coins with active trading volume and volatile charts. Avoid inactive ones; they waste time and drain your mental state.
7️⃣ Timing is crucial. If the market is slowly declining, rebounds can be frustrating; but if the decline accelerates, rebounds often come back faster.
8️⃣ If you buy wrong, admit it and cut losses immediately. As long as your principal remains, opportunities are always there—that’s the key to survival.
9️⃣ For short-term trading, watch the 15-minute K-line chart more. Combined with the KDJ indicator, it can help you find many golden buy and sell points.
🔟 Technique isn’t about quantity, but precision. There are countless methods to trade crypto, you don’t need to master them all. Master one or two, and perfect them to the extreme.
Avoiding detours is itself a way to make money.
