#加密ETF十月决战 After several years of trading contracts, I finally understand one thing—those who survive never rely on luck.



I've seen too many legends. Tenfold returns in a week, financial freedom in a month, and then what? Three months later, they blow up their accounts and leave the scene. The ones who are truly still in the game are those who've carved discipline into their trading habits.

I've made my own mistakes, been slapped by the market so hard it made me question everything. Only after gradually figuring out these hard rules did I manage to find my footing:

**Always use only half your position size.** Keeping cash isn't cowardice—it's keeping yourself alive. There are opportunities in the market every day, but once your principal is gone, it's really gone.

**If you lose twice in a row on the same coin, stop immediately.** This isn't a technical issue—it's a sign of emotional loss of control. Forcing it will only lead to bigger losses; switching pairs or taking a break is the right move.

**Never open a position without a stop-loss.** No matter how much you believe in the trade, you must set a bottom line. Those who can't accept small losses often end up losing everything.

**If the market has no rhythm, stay out.** If the candlesticks are erratic, volume is dead, and market sentiment is scattered, you won't be able to hold onto profits even if you enter.

**Jealous of others making money? Then don't trade.** If you follow someone else's rhythm, you'll lose your own. Those who make it to the end are the ones who stick to their own pace.

**Don't treat opening positions like a daily checklist.** When there are no opportunities, staying in cash is the best defense. Forcing trades is just asking to get wrecked.

**Never average down after consecutive losses.** When you lose, lighten your position or just take a break. Rushing to recover losses only speeds up blowing up your account.

**If you don't understand market structure, stay away from scalping.** Scalping isn't about guts—it's about precision. If your timing is off, being right on direction won't matter.

**Don't force reasons to enter trades.** Opportunities aren't found, they're waited for. Real opportunities don't just come once.

**After every session, review these three things:** Why did you enter, why did you exit, and what regrets do you have. The depth of your review determines how far you can go.

This market isn't short of hard workers or opportunities. What's missing are those who can keep their cool in the storm. If you can stick to your rules, you can last.

That's true, in the end, only a few will survive. A couple of years ago, my friend made enough in a month for down payments on three houses, but now he can't even log into his account.

What you said is absolutely spot on. The most piercing part is that line: "Don't treat opening trades like a clock-in task." I used to have this exact problem—couldn't sit still and always had to find something to do. As a result, my reckless trading led to a complete wipeout.

Well said, I just now realize how ruthless these few hard rules are. Before, I would open positions like clocking in at work, getting envious when others made money, and as a result, I blew up my account in just one month.

Absolutely right, it's really not about luck. I've seen friends around me make 500,000 in a month and then just disappear, and now I don't even dare to ask how they're doing. The most painful thing is that saying, "Being in cash is the strongest defense." So many times I couldn't resist chasing trades, and I always ended up losing. Now I'm slowly learning to leave some position open as a way out, and I feel much more at peace.

Damn, isn't that describing me... the fool who keeps holding on even after making mistakes twice in a row. I'll start changing tomorrow, really.

That's right, it's all about mindset. I used to be the kind of fool who got jealous of others making money, and ended up making reckless trades and just giving money away. Now I've learned my lesson—if I don't feel good about the market, I'll just stay in cash. Opportunities will always come.

That's right, it's all about mindset. I used to get restless seeing others make tenfold gains in a month, and ended up getting liquidated. Now that I stick to the rules, I'm actually surviving much longer.

Hey, this is the real talk. It's way more reliable than those signal callers. Surviving really does mean winning.

So true, it's always those quietly making money who never show off. The ones around me who used to brag about their trades every day are all silent now.
