That night, when there were only 5000 dollars left in my account, I realized that the real enemy was not the market fluctuation, but the finger that couldn't resist pressing the button at three in the morning. After chasing the price with a full position four times in a row, the hard-earned funds evaporated overnight. In that despair, I made a decision that seemed very foolish - to print out three months' worth of trading records and cover the entire studio with them.



After repeatedly examining this "lesson wall," one piece of data struck me: over 90% of losses come from a few types of basic mistakes that are repeatedly made. So I set ten unbreakable rules for myself and forcibly turned my win rate around.

**Retracement is a red envelope**

When a strong coin adjusts downwards, many people are scared and rush to run away. In fact, this is precisely the entry opportunity for quality targets, provided that this upward trend has not truly reversed. Only when the trend line is broken should one consider withdrawing.

**After two days of increase, it's time to sell**

"Just wait for another day, it should continue to rise"—this thought is the culprit behind the rapid shrinkage of the account. Profits should be locked in batches; don't think about squeezing out all the profits. Being able to sleep peacefully is worth more than earning a few extra points.

**After a surge, there must be a pitfall**

Be cautious of a market that has risen more than 7% in a single day. This situation usually indicates that market sentiment is overheated. Even if it may continue to rise tomorrow, you should wait for a pullback confirmation before following in. Don't be the last runner in a relay race.

**The lifeline is the best entry point**

The 5-day moving average of a strong cryptocurrency is like its emotional thermometer. Only consider entering the market when it stands firmly above this line; once it breaks below, it's best to observe quietly and not bet against the market.

**Beware of sideways movement for more than a week**

A fluctuation lasting more than seven days usually indicates that a significant market trend is about to occur, which could be either upward or downward. However, it is not wise to intervene on either side at this time; it is better to wait for a breakout confirmation before taking action.

My fingers at three in the morning... Ha, I am exactly the victim of this finger, still paying off debts now. Going in Full Position and chasing the price those few times was really just a brain freeze, looking back it was pure gambling. The idea of this "lesson wall" is brilliant, I need to learn to stick one up. The data on 90% basic errors hit me hard, it turns out everyone's reasons for losing are pretty much the same. Running after just a two-day rise is indeed greedy, and I ended up giving everything back. I need to remember this trick with the 5-day moving average, and stop betting against the market.

That finger at three in the morning is really a killer, piercing through so many dreams. I really need to learn this trick of sticking to the receipts; I always feel like I don’t make the same mistake twice, but I’m actually just fooling myself. Dumping sounds simple, but when it really can continue to rise, it’s hard to hold on; the mindset collapses. The 5-day moving average method is indeed useful, much more reliable than randomly guessing the market. The desire to buy the dip can really drive a person to bankruptcy; waiting for a breakout is definitely much more stable than lying in ambush.

That finger at three in the morning is really a killer, I can relate... Full Position chasing the price four times, you must have a huge heart to pull that off, I admire that you're still alive. The lesson wall technique is brilliant, looking repeatedly at losing positions can indeed help correct bad habits. However, I still haven't learned how to dump, I always feel like it can rise a bit more. What you said about the lifeline makes sense, but when faced with the market, it's still easy to be bound by emotions.
