Eight years ago, I jumped into the crypto world with 30,000 yuan. During the bull market, I thought I was the chosen one. One liquidation, and my account was wiped out. Debt, online loans, insomnia—I was almost crushed.

Later, I started over with only 1,500 USD remaining. No all-in bets, no illusions of doubling. Over the years, I gradually grew my holdings to over 50 million. This is not a miracle, but the result of following nine iron rules after eight years of pitfalls.
1. Small funds, learn to survive first.
With limited capital, seize a major trend every day. Ride a wave, then walk away. Don’t go all-in. $BARD
2. Take profits when good news hits.
If you don’t sell on the day of good news, exit at the high the next day. Don’t be the last to buy in. #币圈生存法则
3. News and holidays are the most dangerous.
Reduce or close positions before major news or long holidays. If the direction is unclear, don’t act. $AIOT
4. Keep medium- and long-term positions light.
Heavy positions are for faith; light positions help you hold on.
5. Short-term trading is about “speed.”
Enter when clear, exit when targets are met. If there’s no trend, stay in cash.
6. Watch the rhythm, not illusions.
Slow gains and slow pullbacks, rapid rises and falls. The market has rhythm.
7. Cut losses immediately when wrong.
Stop-loss isn’t admitting defeat; it’s saving your life.
8. 15-minute K-line charts are enough.
Short-term trading relies on rhythm and execution, not complex models.
9. Ultimately, it’s about mindset.
Technical analysis sets the lower limit; emotions determine life or death.
I went from a gambler at the start to a trader. What truly turned me around wasn’t a single big win, but learning to control position size, stop-loss, and emotions.
