#大户持仓动态 After three margin calls in six years, I’ve summarized my trading survival rules

Having been in the crypto market for 6 years, experiencing three total losses of capital, and even collapsing mentally to the point of wanting to quit entirely. In the end, I endured and pushed through. Today, I want to share the lessons I’ve learned over these years, earned with real money, in hopes of helping others avoid some detours. $ETH

**Rule 1: Never Expect the Highest Point**

When the gain reaches 12%, take out the principal first; the remaining profit is where true risk-taking and trial-and-error happen. When it hits 23%, cut your position in half; if the price falls below your cost basis, close it all—don’t try to catch the rebound. After a 35% increase, every 12% gain, cut off 30% of your position to take profits in stages. I’ve seen too many people die waiting for “just a little more” to earn.

**Rule 2: Stop-Losses Are Like Shields—Lose Them, and It’s Over**

If a single loss exceeds 7%, regardless of the reason, cut it immediately. When your total capital retraces to a 5% loss, don’t touch it that day—calm down first. If you hit stop-loss three times in a row, shut down your trading software and do something else. Once the principal is gone, the game is truly over—this isn’t pessimism, it’s the prerequisite for survival.

**Rule 3: Missed Opportunities Are Much More Than Wrong Decisions**

If you sell a coin and it later drops (and the logic remains unchanged), buying it back at the original price is essentially free profit. But never chase the top; it’s better to watch it continue to rise than to buy at the peak. Mindset is more effective than any technical indicator.

There are no prophets in the crypto market, only traders who survive. Discipline is always more valuable than predictions. I haven’t made a fortune in six years, but I’ve never blown up my account either—that’s the biggest victory I can claim.
