#大户持仓动态 The phone rang at 3 a.m., and the voice from Hebei was very urgent, hoarse as hell: "Bro, my principal of 83,000 U is now only 3,500 U. I’ve been watching the K-line all day and my hands are trembling."



I didn’t analyze any market data.

I simply said, "Technically, you’re fine, it’s just your mentality that’s collapsed. To survive, you need to reformat yourself first."

$SOL He was silent for a few seconds before responding.

I told him to split the 3,500 U into three parts for different strategies.

1,100 bucks for intraday short-term trading: only trade the most stable position each day, take a 3% profit and close out, never greedy.

1,100 bucks for swing trading: set orders on mainstream coins, then forget about it for half a month, only eat the big trend’s meat.

1,300 bucks locked in the wallet: no one can touch it, this is the life-saving money.

$MYX He looked a bit confused: "Just this little money and splitting it up?"

I replied, "Dead men have no tomorrow. You first need to stay alive at the table."

Then I gave him an even harsher suggestion: delete all market apps from your phone, check the market only twice a day.

Honestly, most of the market time is just wandering around. The more you look, the more you want to make reckless moves, and every move results in losses. The right approach is: when there’s no clear signal, pretend you’re already dead. Wait for the real trend to come and then come back to life.

Swing positions should only be taken when the price clearly breaks support or resistance.

Once you make 20% profit, immediately take one-third of it and put it into your wallet—your real money, that counts.

The most crucial step is coming.

I asked him to prepare a blank sheet of paper before trading, and write down three ironclad rules with a black pen:

First, if loss reaches 2%, cut the position immediately—out in the blink of an eye.

Second, if profit hits 4%, halve your position and lock in the gains.

Third, three absolute forbidden zones—adding to losing positions, holding on stubbornly, and emotional trading.

Later, he told me that once Ethereum almost broke his discipline. When he was about to hold on and fight, he glanced at that paper and gritted his teeth to cut.

Not long after, the market plunged sharply. He broke out in cold sweat, but at that moment he truly felt—discipline saved his life.

In three months, 3,500 U turned into 69,000 U.

Zero liquidations.

Last week, he sent me a message: "The funds are back, but I realize the most valuable thing isn’t this."

I asked him what it was.

"I’ve turned myself into a cold, emotionless trading machine. Nothing can kill my emotions anymore."

The opportunities in the crypto market are always there, but they only fall into the hands of those who are still alive.

The definition of being alive is simple—bind your hands with iron discipline, replace all illusions with precise plans.

If you’re still losing money, stop just polishing your technical analysis skills.

Ask yourself these questions first: Have you separated your positions? Are you controlling your hands? Have you written that paper that locks your emotions?

Discipline may sound dull, but it’s this very low-stimulation thing that can keep you going until dawn.

Stay alive, wait quietly for the wind.

The next bull market belongs to those who run wildly, but the precondition is brutal—you must survive every night of the bear market.

Really? It's discipline that can save lives. I've seen too many people with great skills but lose because of their mindset... That piece of paper is indeed incredible.

3500U turned into 69,000, sounds good, but how many people can really stick to writing notes...

Discipline really can save lives. I used to get trembling hands when watching the market, but later I wrote a note and stuck it on my trading software, and I haven't blown my position since.

Really, that piece of paper has saved me so many times... After deleting the market app, my sleep quality directly skyrocketed.
