In the world of cryptocurrency trading, if you want to survive long enough, you must first understand a fundamental truth—preserving your principal is the key. Simply put, the ultimate rule for investors is to stay alive; only by surviving can you have the next move.



Money management cannot be taken lightly. Not being greedy is actually the most profitable approach; stable small profits are sustainable returns. Choose your trading instruments carefully and avoid diversification; never go all-in, as this is a basic respect for yourself. Also, avoid over-leveraging, holding too many positions, or frequent tinkering, so your account maintains the necessary flexibility.

Discipline in execution is equally crucial. You don’t need to rush into buying, but selling should be decisive. Stop-losses must not be delayed—timely stop-loss means unconditional exit, and that’s always correct. Money can’t be earned endlessly, but an account can be wiped out by greed in an instant. This bloody lesson is worth remembering at all times. Long-term or short-term? Actually, securing profits is the safest approach.

Regarding market rhythm, remember one thing: the law of extremes reversing is an unchanging market rule. When there’s no obvious trend, don’t trade. Missing a trading opportunity is common; being able to catch part of it is already good. Waiting for the right opportunity is always a hundred times better than rushing in.

Psychological resilience is even more critical. After reaching your daily profit target, stop trading—energy is limited. Stop-loss is your bottom line; profits are rewards granted by the market. Money is often made sitting still, not through frequent trading. Finally, in the face of desire, the mind is always vulnerable. Only by strictly following your trading strategy and achieving unity of knowledge and action can you steadily advance in the market.

That's so true, being alive is the top priority. I've experienced the loss of a full position before, and one moment of greed brought me straight back to square one.

At the end of the day, it's all about stop-loss to save your life. I've seen too many brothers go all-in once and lose everything.

It's the same old story... But on the other hand, every time I lose money, I regret not listening earlier. That all-in moment really took several months to rebuild my mindset. Waiting itself is the hardest part of trading, and that's true. It sounds simple, but actually relying on faith is what keeps you going. Can I avoid making the same mistakes again this time, I ask myself. Opportunities always favor those who are prepared, but the process of preparation is really torturous. The most difficult part is judging the bottom range; I always guess wrong [sigh].

You're absolutely right, going all-in is like gambling with your life.

Really, those who go all-in don't end up well.

That's very true. Going all-in is just asking for death. I've seen too many people lose everything in a single all-in shot.
