#Strategy加仓BTC The K-line at 3 a.m., how many people did it scare away? But I rely on four strict rules to go from account halving to consistent monthly profits.



Sitting in front of the screen, feeling my eyelids heavy, watching my account shrink from hundreds of thousands to just a few thousand—my heartbeat even became irregular. That feeling of going from full health to a complete wipeout overnight, I’ve experienced it too many times. Only later did I realize: it’s not some magical indicator that can save you, but the iron discipline forged after countless cuts.

**Rule 1: Only shoot when you can see clearly**
The market never stops running, but once your capital is gone, it’s really gone. I’ve completely broken the spell of “fear of missing out,” waiting for the planned entry zones. No matter how tempting other opportunities are, I hold back. Recently, ETH was wildly volatile, and many wanted to chase the high. I stuck to waiting for a pullback before entering, and in the end, comfortably took profits without anyone getting caught in a trap. Waiting for your own signals is ten thousand times more reliable than chasing the hot trend.

**Rule 2: Survival comes first**
Before opening a position, don’t just think about how many points you can make; first, calculate the maximum loss. If your position size is fixed, volatility can’t blow a hole through it. That’s how you can endure until the next wave.

**Rule 3: Take profits in stages**
For end-of-day profits, I usually do it in two steps—hold some positions following the trend, and sell part at key levels. This way, if it rises, I can enjoy the gains; if it falls, I don’t end up empty-handed.

**Rule 4: Shut up when there’s no signal**
No matter how itchy your hands are, hold back. Without proper signals, even the highest temptations are traps. Waiting itself is the best form of trading.

With these few simple methods, I’ve gone from being dragged around by volatility to being a trader who can execute according to plan. My account, which once experienced big swings, has gradually stabilized. Most importantly, I’m no longer hostage to late-night K-lines.

I used to rush around blindly in the dark, now I carry a light myself. The light isn’t bright enough, but it’s enough to illuminate the path under my feet. Want to join?

Still watching the market at 3 a.m.? I advise you not to stay up anymore, it's really unnecessary. I used to do the same before, but then I realized it was just boredom, and I forget everything as soon as the rules come out.

There are indeed many people watching the market at 3 a.m., but few will actually make it to next month. These four rules are simple to state, but execution is hell.

It sounds like another survivor bias story, but there's no denying that discipline is indeed important.
