#大户持仓动态 The Several Iron Rules of Trading for Those Who Want to Survive Long-Term in the Crypto World



A seasoned trader in the crypto space once shared a story with me that I’ve never forgotten.
He turned 50,000 into 80 million, and the core insight from the entire process was:
The crypto market is not short of opportunities; what’s lacking are people who can keep a steady mindset.

Most market participants are driven by emotions. Once you learn to control emotional fluctuations, trading often becomes like extracting pre-stored profits.

What often widens the profit gap is not the speed of information acquisition, nor some market intuition, but your trading system itself.

Below are principles I have repeatedly validated in the market:

**Underlying Logic of Mindset**

Before entering a position, you must have a clear directional judgment, rather than chasing in on volatility.

A sideways consolidation at a low level followed by a downward plunge? That’s usually a good opportunity.
A sideways consolidation at a high level followed by a rally? Most likely a distribution phase.

Know when to reduce your position during rapid rises; during sharp declines, it’s actually the best time to be greedy.
During consolidation, it’s often accumulating energy for the next move.

Emotional outbursts in the morning can lead to big dips in the afternoon, while rapid gains in the morning require gradual profit-taking before noon.

The rhythm differs between afternoon and night trading—don’t chase after sharp rises, and wait until the next day to re-enter after big drops.

Don’t chase highs or sell lows; when the market is oscillating sideways, just watch the show.
If you must operate, think in reverse: brave to buy on red candles, resolutely sell on green candles.
Following instincts alone will never make you consistent profits.

Full position trading is a big taboo; taking profits and cutting losses are never just technical issues—they are survival issues.

**Fundamental Thinking**

To be blunt, trading crypto assets is a battle of human nature.
Greed clouds risk perception; fear causes missed opportunities.
By not chasing highs or killing lows, you can turn trading into a skill that lasts long-term.

**The Five Most Practical Trading Scenarios**

**1. Range-bound Market**
Core idea: buy low, sell high. Focus on the upper and lower bounds of the range, observe Bollinger Bands(BOLL), and identify support and resistance levels, but don’t be greedy. Exit once the price breaks out of the range.

**2. The Night Before a Breakout**
The longer the consolidation, the more explosive the breakout tends to be. Once the direction is confirmed, act decisively. Hesitation can cause you to miss the entire move.

**3. Unidirectional Trend Market**
Once the market shows a clear trend, only trade in that direction, avoiding counter-trend operations. Don’t worry about pullbacks; wait for rebounds to get in.

**4. Capital Battles at Key Levels**
Major support and resistance are often battlegrounds for big funds. Success rates at these levels are usually the highest.

**5. Emotional Recovery After Large Fluctuations**
After sharp rises or falls, the market enters an emotional recovery phase. This period is often the easiest to grasp.

**Final Reminder**

The crypto market is indeed full of volatility and opportunities, but those who survive are not the most aggressive traders, but the most disciplined ones.

Treat trading as a lifelong career, not a gamble for quick riches.
Slow down, and you may go further.

That's right, the key is still the mindset. I used to be a nervous wreck chasing gains and selling losses, but I only understood what "restraint" means after losing money. I've heard the story of going from 50,000 to 80 million, which is really inspiring, but only a few can actually do it. Most people just get greedy and lose everything in an instant.

That's right, but this is the Nash equilibrium in game theory—most people can't exercise restraint, so the minority can survive longer. The problem is that many people can't tell whether their issue is poor trading systems or just a bad mindset.

Well said, attitude really is everything. I was previously killed by greed. Watching others bottom out and make huge profits, I couldn't help but go all in, and the result... you all know. Now I strictly cut losses; as long as I'm alive, there's hope.

Basically, it's about mindset. Didn't get it wrong... Most of the guys who were all-in are pretty much gone.
