Brothers still struggling in the market, let me tell you the truth— as long as your account still has some life left, there’s a chance to turn things around.

I am a living example myself. I once heavily invested in shanzhai coins, chased rallies and sold off at dips, used leverage to go all-in, and as a result, a margin call wiped my account from hundreds of thousands down to just $5,000. During that time, I had to take deep breaths every time I opened my trading app, but it was precisely that despair that made me realize one thing: market opportunities are endless, and what’s truly scarce is those who can survive long enough.

**Key phrase: Survive first, then talk about making money**

Later, I rebuilt my trading system from scratch and discovered three principles that work for me. They’re not high-level theories, just simple methods, but they work.

**First: Only trade coins you understand**

Mainstream coins like BTC, ETH, SOL—top 20 by market cap—are enough. Why? These coins have real ecosystems and genuine liquidity, making it hard for whales to manipulate the market. I ignore new coins, anonymous teams, and projects with overly hyped whitepapers. To put it bluntly, you won’t make money beyond your understanding. Even if you occasionally get lucky, you’ll likely lose it all back with your own "strength."

**Second: Abandon emotional trading**

Before each trading day, I mark support and resistance levels on the 4-hour chart—previous highs, previous lows, key moving averages. I stick to these levels without acting until the price reaches them. It sounds dull, but that’s exactly the line between those who survive and those who get wiped out.

The most testing time is during a sharp decline. The community is full of wails, news is all bearish—don’t panic. Buy in chunks at support levels and wait for a rebound. Greed and fear will kill you.

This is my logic for turning things around. Simple to the point of being brutal, but there are no shortcuts.
