Three years ago, I entered the crypto market with 10,000 yuan. My friends around me all said I was crazy—"Such little money, such big guts."
But looking back today, that seven-figure account is not the most important thing. What truly matters are the six survival rules I’ve developed over these three years, earned with real money. I’ve summarized them here to share with everyone. Understanding just one can help you avoid detours; mastering three can help you surpass 90% of retail investors.
**Trade Less, Live Longer**
In the beginning, I fell into a strange cycle: I felt I had to seize every fluctuation, and I’d get restless if I didn’t trade a few times a day. What was the result? The more frequently I traded, the faster I lost money.
Once, to catch the bottom, I stayed up for over ten hours watching K-line charts, my eyes so tired I couldn’t open them, yet I kept forcing myself to trade. That one trade wiped out 20% of my account. I was devastated at the time, but now, looking back calmly, I realize the most profitable trade is actually "doing nothing."
The market isn’t going anywhere; opportunities are there every day. Instead of blindly throwing punches in unclear market conditions, it’s better to sit and wait for high-probability setups. I now have a rule: never touch a trend I don’t understand, and limit myself to a maximum of three trades per day. Remember this—less action can help you survive longer.
**When Tired, Lock Your Phone**
Have you ever experienced this: making a decision during a midnight watch, only to want to smash your computer the next morning? I’ve been there countless times. Back then, I thought staying up late was a sign of diligence, but I later realized—decisions made when exhausted are like contracts with loopholes; risks are everywhere.
Decision fatigue is even more dangerous than market crashes. When your mental state is poor, your judgment drops by 50%, and emotional swings amplify tenfold. Now, I treat high-quality sleep as a prerequisite for trading. When I’m not feeling well mentally, I lock my phone and refuse to look at the charts. A clear mind is more valuable than any technical indicator.
