Having navigated the crypto world for so many years, from account zeroing out to finally turning the tide, I realize that those who can truly survive long-term rely not on luck, but on strictly adhering to these iron laws.



First, let's talk about position management. Capital size determines strategy—small funds should not diversify; when the trend is strong, increase your position; when the trend weakens, immediately reduce your holdings. Rebounds are often mistaken for reversals, which is a common mistake among big losers. Going with the trend is the key—don't try to guess the direction; let the market tell you the answer.

Volume is the soul of trading. Only act when the price-volume resonance signal appears. When there is no confirmed signal, holding cash and waiting is the most comfortable choice. Stop-loss should be quick, take-profit should be slow—this is a contest of mindset and execution. When losing, cut your position decisively; when profitable, stay calm and wait for the big trend to carry you.

The speed of exiting must be faster than entering. When you detect risk signals, don’t over-confirm—run first, then decide. Before adding to your position, ask yourself: if I am currently out of the market, would I still buy now? If the answer is no, then do not add.

Short-term fluctuations are the easiest to drive people crazy. Pay less attention to the charts; once you find the main upward wave, hold on tightly. As for bottom-fishing, that’s a game for advanced players—many people bottom-fish halfway up the mountain, only to find that it becomes the starting point of their exit.

These rules are not about how to make the most money in a single wave, but about ensuring you always have chips to participate in the next cycle. Popular assets like $AT and $HOT can only be seized under these principles. Surviving at the table is the only qualification to talk about making money.

technically speaking if you look at the data most people get liquidated because they can't resist adding after a 5% bounce lol... the whole "position sizing based on tvl correlation" thing hits different when you actually backtest it. ngl the "ask yourself would i enter at zero position" filter solves like 80% of degen moves fr fr

Running first and then talking really hit me. Truly, how many times have I just double-checked and double-checked, only to find the confirmation gone?

Stick to the ironclad rule? Haha, that's easy to say. Only those who have truly endured several rounds of bear markets know how difficult it really is.

Really, don't make things so complicated. Living is the hard truth.

Really, the way you explained stop-loss is just perfect. I used to be reluctant to cut losses, only learning after a 50% loss [laughing]. Having a live account is more important than being fully invested; I need to keep this in mind. Got it. The chips in the next cycle will be worth much more than the gains from this wave of the market. Wait, have you ever bought the dip on the hillside? I really want to know how you adjusted your mindset. To put it simply, in the few years the market has taught me how to be a person, I only learned one word: wait.
