#加密生态动态追踪 My cousin clutching a few thousand yuan said he's going to make a name for himself in the crypto world this time. Everyone around him thought it was just a pipe dream. A month later, I checked his account—14 million.

At that moment, I realized this is not a game of luck.

During our chat, he shared his four rules, and I finally understood what true confidence looks like.

**Rule 1: Only eat the meat you’re sure of; never follow the crowd**

The more chaotic the market, the steadier he becomes. He ignores the coins flooding Twitter and the "bottom-fishing calls" in WeChat groups. His eyes are fixed on one thing: whether the monthly chart is clear and whether the trend is stable enough. He’d rather miss 99 opportunities than miss the one truly worth acting on. The devil of FOMO never knocks on his door.

**Rule 2: Wait like a hunter—never move without a signal**

Most people are chasing after rising prices and selling on dips. He’s different. He just waits—waits for key moving averages to support, waits for confirmation signals from volume. When trading MATIC, he watched the trend for three weeks until the perfect pattern appeared, then took action, ultimately gaining 60%. It’s not because he’s smarter than others, but because he has patience.

**Rule 3: Stop-loss is the mark of a high-level player’s self-discipline**

When OP broke below that support line, who didn’t want to gamble? Human nature loves to take chances. But he didn’t give himself that chance. When the signal reversed, he cut his losses—quick, ruthless, without mercy. As a result, OP later plunged another 35%. Those who held on saw their principal evaporate, but he had already safely exited. He once said something I’ve always remembered: "Protecting your capital is the starting point of all profits. If you lose your principal, you can’t win anything."

**Rule 4: Trading should serve your life, don’t let it control you**

Now he spends no more than 20 minutes a day on market apps. The rest of the time? Working, spending time with family, going to the gym, watching a movie casually. A mature system has freed him from the "addiction to watching the charts." He’s no longer a slave to the market but an active participant with control. That’s true freedom.

After eight years immersed in the crypto world, I’ve gained this insight at the cost of seven times my initial capital: the market never lacks opportunities; what’s missing is an effective system plus a mind that can control itself.

Those losses over the years weren’t in vain. They taught me rules, discipline, and what real survival in this brutal market looks like.

What about you? It’s time to stop playing the luck game.
