**Rule 1: Chasing the rise is a sin; wait for a pullback before entering**
The weakness of human nature is that seeing a rise makes you itchy. I used to be like that—when the price surged straight up, I would get overwhelmed with FOMO, and in the end, I always became the last bag-holder. The turning point came later—I started to wait. Instead of chasing before breaking previous highs, I would build positions gradually when the price retraced to the middle or lower band of the Bollinger Bands. The most memorable moment was when a certain AI sector surged dramatically; I held back and didn’t act. The next day, when the price retreated to the middle band, I entered, catching a 30% rebound. Opportunities in the market are plentiful; missing one is minor, but jumping in at the wrong time is a big problem.
**Rule 2: The flying knife is still falling; don’t rush to catch it**
Bottom-fishing sounds glamorous, but in a downtrend, coins are like falling knives. My lesson is: looking at the percentage decline alone is useless; what matters is whether the price stabilizes. On a 1-hour K-line chart, I look for three consecutive candles at a support level that stay flat, with volume dropping to less than one-third of the historical average. Only then do I consider building a position cautiously. The last time a Meme coin plummeted, I didn’t rush; I waited until it consolidated sideways at a key level for 4 hours before acting. It then fell another 20%, but I’m glad I didn’t act prematurely.

It sounds good, but it really depends on execution. I've also tried this approach, and the key is that I just can't stop my fingers, haha.

It all sounds like the truth, but have you ever thought about whether these rules can really be maintained in the crypto world? I tried, but in the end, I still broke down one late night.

Sounds good, but can people who are still watching the market at 3 a.m. really stick to the rules? I often break my rules at this point.

Honestly, I really resonate with the part about watching the market at 3 a.m. I still haven't been able to fix this problem...
Chasing the rise to buy in, bottom fishing halfway up the mountain—I've tried all these tactics, and my account shrank terribly. But after reading these rules, I feel it's all about discipline—having rules or not makes two completely different traders.
I need to reflect on the rule about only entering after a pullback; indeed, during FOMO, my brain just shuts down.
The saying "Don't catch the flying knife" is spot on—so many people fall for the illusion of "bottom."
This guy really hit the nail on the head.
It's a pity I didn't see all of Rule Three; that 2:30 PM time slot does seem prone to issues...
凌晨三点,屏幕前的我曾经和你一样——眼睛盯着K线图,手指贴在鼠标上,心跳随着币价上下波动。追高被套、抄底抄在半山腰、账户资金像过山车一样疯狂波动……这些经历我都经历过。但有个转折点改变了一切:当我停止了对"精准预测"的痴迷,转而建立几套简单粗暴的交易规则后,市场突然变得好理解多了。
现在回头看,我曾经输的那些钱其实都是在"赌"。今天想分享五条彻底改变我交易节奏的核心原则。
