#数字资产市场动态 Seven Years of Crypto Practice: Five Ironclad Trading Rules as a Lifesaver Guide

No nonsense, these are all lessons learned from accounts that blew up. A beginner with 1,000U can survive; an experienced trader with 100,000U can also suffer devastating losses—it's all about these five rules.

**Rule One: Cut losses quickly when wrong; speed is the only option**

The market is ruthless. Hesitate for a second, and it will strike back. The truth behind my two early blow-ups is one word—wait. Wait for a rebound, wait to recover, wait for a miracle. Later, I realized: stop-loss is never about giving up, but about using capital to save your life. Those who cut losses in time live to see the trend; those who keep averaging down live to see the day they eat noodles.

**Rule Two: After five consecutive losses, take a break**

When the market is chaotic, you can't tell if it's your poor skills or the market's bad. But that doesn't matter. Continuing to force trades will only wear down your account. Stopping is not giving up; it's giving yourself and the market a chance to cool down. After five losses, it means your rhythm is off. Wait until the rhythm is right before re-entering.

**Rule Three: Take profits immediately**

The numbers in your account are fake. Only when the profits are on-chain, in your wallet, and withdrawn to the exchange are they real gains. This is not caution; it's clarity. Too many people see unrealized gains evaporate during a pullback and regret not taking profits at the high. Those who dare to lock in profits will keep the market giving opportunities.

**Rule Four: Only trade in one direction; avoid choppy markets**

In a clear uptrend or downtrend, you can make a living just by following the trend. But in consolidation, entering the market is just inviting wear and tear. Every trade in sideways markets is essentially betting on a reversal breakout. Being shaken out once or twice is normal; being shaken out ten times means your account will go negative.

**Rule Five: Keep your position within 10% of your capital**

Small positions are like body armor; full positions are like heading to the execution ground. You can never fully predict the market direction, but you can control your position size 100%. Protecting your capital is safeguarding your principal; only with capital can you turn the tide. A wrong decision with 10% of your capital might shrink your account by 10%; a full position mistake can end your game immediately.

From a 3,000-dollar initial capital to this scale today, having gone through bull and bear markets and still alive and well, it's not luck but because I embedded these rules into my decision-making system. The market is always there; opportunities are always present—provided you are alive to see them.
