#数字资产市场动态 Want to stay stable in the crypto world? These 8 tips have really saved lives
Novices lose everything, while some make profits year after year—what’s the difference?
To be honest—it's all about "self-control."
After trading for over ten years, I rely not on inspiration but on a set of "methods to hold yourself back at critical moments." Today, I’m sharing these experiences; those who see this are destined to find them useful.
**1. Don’t move your hands before the market confirms**
Focusing only on daily charts for short-term trading? That’s far from enough. Use daily charts to determine direction, and 30-minute charts to decide your entry points. Some candlesticks look insignificant, but on the 30-minute chart, the technicals are strong, and the next day it jumps high with a bullish candle—these good opportunities come only two or three times a year, enough to eat well.
**2. When bulls and bears are not aligned, even a glance can cost you**
When the trend is chaotic and the structure is scattered, reverse trading can still make money—but that’s a matter of probability, not skill. Going with the big trend is always the cheapest approach.
**3. Don’t invest where funds aren’t flowing in**
Short-term trading is a game of following the money. Deviating from hot sectors means you’re fighting against air.
**4. Follow your trading plan, not your temper**
Impulsive position building is the root cause of most losses. "Trade according to your well-thought-out plan, and think it through before executing"—this sounds cliché, but only a few can truly do it.
**5. Don’t take others’ words too seriously**
Others’ analysis is just for reference. Your own judgment controls your position’s fate.
**6. First lock in the trend, then choose your coins**
This is a common trait among all profitable traders. If your direction is right, even an obscure coin can make you profit; if you’re wrong, even the leading coin can turn against you.
**7. Only buy into uptrends, don’t always try to bottom-fish**
Loving to catch the bottom means you enjoy being educated by the market. Prices always move along the path of least resistance, and coins during an uptrend are following that easiest route.
**8. After big gains or big losses, force yourself to close positions**
Whether you want to add more to recover losses or double down on dips, it’s driven by emotion—and such operations have nearly zero success rate. Take a day or two off; when you look at the charts again, your mind will be clearer. My ten-year experience shows that "rest after large fluctuations" has over 90% accuracy.
The secret to making money? It’s not fancy technical indicators, but a system + discipline + genuine execution.
Memorize these eight points, and you’ll suddenly realize—many losses are entirely avoidable.

I agree most with Article 8 about mandatory liquidation; chasing reversals is really a death trap.

That's correct. Self-control is the line between life and death; most people die because of their emotions.

Article 8 is the most heartbreaking; when you want to recover after a big loss, your mind really isn't clear.

Article 8 is really amazing; forced liquidation after big fluctuations has saved me several times.
That's right, most people get wiped out by their emotions.
Self-control, it sounds simple, but actually doing it is really deadly.
Caught the bottom so many times that I lost my last underwear; this time I finally understand.
If the direction is wrong, even the best coins can turn around and kill you; I have deep experience.
These ten years of experience are valuable, but execution is the hardest part.
No matter how awesome others' analysis are, it’s useless; you still have to trust yourself.

Article 8 is a killer; many people die trying to turn their losses around.
---
That's right, self-control is truly the most valuable thing.
---
The part about bottom-fishing hit home; I've been educated by the market too many times.
---
If the direction is right, any random buy will make money. I believe that.
---
Having a system and discipline is the key to longevity, not relying on luck.
---
Then why am I still losing? Everything seems right to me.
---
Forced liquidation is always the hardest part; you just can't stop.
---
No one has clearly explained the core of following the money.
---
Follow the plan, not your temper; stick with it.

Honestly, I only realized after losing money on items 4 and 8. Now I'm just holding on to these two.
