Many people lose money in trading, and ultimately it's due to a lack of systematic capital allocation and risk control awareness.



Divide the $2700 capital into three parts: $900 for short-term trading, $900 for trend trading, and $900 as an emergency reserve. Short-term trading is simple—at most two trades per day, close the software after each, and avoid frequent operations. Trend trading requires waiting for a weekly bullish alignment before taking action; opportunities aren't available every day, so patience is key to making money.

What is the most important discipline in trading? A 3% stop-loss to exit immediately—this is the baseline. Don't hold onto luck; losses can snowball. Conversely, once profits reach 10%, move the stop-loss to the break-even point, effectively locking in gains. When profits exceed 30%, take profits promptly—take half of the gains first.

Use reserve funds to add to positions only during extreme market conditions—this is the last chance to turn things around. Another overlooked detail—don't watch the market late at night. Nighttime volatility often overreacts and can trigger emotional decisions; stepping away from the screen at this time is actually protecting yourself.

In the end, losing control is equivalent to self-harm. The longer you survive, the more you earn. Staying intact in the crypto market is the real key to being a winner.

A 3% stop-loss is really a lifesaver. I didn't implement this properly before, and I ended up losing 20% at once and was so regretful that I almost had a stomach ache.

Watching the market late at night really hits me hard; how many times have I accidentally slipped up in the middle of the night and lost everything... A 3% stop-loss rule is a bit strict, but sticking to it is the key to longevity.

A 3% stop-loss is really smart. I used to not do it before, and almost lost everything in one go. Now I enforce it strictly; only by staying alive can I make money.

That's right, the key is discipline. I used to watch the market every day and trade frequently, but the more I traded, the more I lost.

Sounds good, but the problem is human nature—who can really do it?
