#大户持仓动态 Don't let emotions hijack you! From 1200U to 9800U, here are the 3 iron rules of trading I summarized
The biggest enemy in the crypto world is often not the market itself, but your own greed and fear. Two months ago, a friend's account was only left with 1200U, and after a series of liquidations, his mindset completely collapsed. Later, he decided to restart according to the 3 principles I shared. After 30 days of sticking to them, his account grew to 9800U. This is not luck, but the result of method and discipline.
**Iron Rule 1: The Three-Partition Method for Positions, Always Leave Yourself a Way Out**
How to divide 1200U? My approach is simple: - 400U for short-term trades (up to 2 trades per day, quick in and out) - 400U for trend chasing (only act after signal confirmation, no blind entries) - 400U for cold storage wallet (this is the lifeline, never touch it no matter how urgent)
Seems ordinary? But this is the key to survival. The thrill of full position trading will only get you out after a single liquidation.
**Iron Rule 2: Wait for the Wind, Don’t Chase the Wind**
The market is always performing, and traps and opportunities are often just a hair apart. Instead of chasing every small fluctuation, it’s better to wait patiently for the trend to be truly confirmed. Better to miss out than to step into a trap. Watch the candlesticks, wait for news, and make signals clearer—this waiting process is the dividing line between masters and rookies.
**Iron Rule 3: Write Your "Trading Discipline Book" in Advance**
Think about your exit strategy before entering: - Stop loss immediately at 6% loss, don’t hope for a rebound - When profit reaches 11%, move the stop loss to the breakeven point to protect the principal - When profit hits 28%, withdraw half to secure gains
These numbers are summarized from real blood and tears lessons. Trading is not gambling; it’s a game of probabilities. Only by surviving can you tell the story later.
These three rules may seem simple, but few can truly stick to them. The market always rewards disciplined traders, while accounts swept by emotions can only exit in silence.

It's a nice way to put it, but those numbers—"stop loss 6%, profit 28%"—according to medical records, most people give up by the second day. The real issue isn't the strict rules themselves, but rather—when does the market not suddenly change direction? In high volatility environments, these certainty numbers often result in being trapped. It is recommended to regularly review your mindset and not be blinded by stories of doubling your investment.

That's right, it's just that discipline is something that 99% of people simply can't stick to...

Sounds good, but going from 1200 to 9800, how many times did you have to hit the right spot? I trust my own instincts more.
For those who can't stick to discipline, no matter how many strict rules there are, they’re useless.
6% stop loss? I was already shaken out long ago haha, the market just loves to play this trick.
"Only by staying alive can there be stories later," I have to admit, this really hits home.
It's the same old story of position management, I see this every day. The problem is, actually executing it is really difficult.
This method is correct, but why do I still lose money even when I do it this way?
That cold wallet with 400U, I guarantee I’ll use it within two days.

This set of theories sounds good, but I'm more curious whether that friend eventually lost it all again...
To speak nicely, how many people can truly resist the urge?
I agree with the idea of position division, but the execution is difficult. A single rebound can crush the mindset.
I've heard the phrase "wait for the wind" too many times, but when the wind actually comes, I still don't get on board. Missing out is also a loss.
The question is, which K-line signal truly confirms the trend? The standard is too vague, easy to deceive oneself.
Running halfway at 28%... where did this number come from? It feels more like survivor bias.
All these points essentially come down to mindset, but can mindset really be solved just by writing a discipline book?

To be honest, I've been using the three-tier position method for a while, but I just can't resist the urge to go all-in, and I always regret it afterward.
