#大户持仓动态 has been in the crypto world for seven years, and the most profound realization is that trading without a trap can be deadly. I go over these eight points every day before watching the market, and it's precisely by adhering to these that I can emerge unscathed from one big dump after another.

**Look at the time frame to grasp the rhythm**

The most common misconception in short-term trading is to only focus on daily candlesticks. In reality, the details in the 30-minute candlesticks often can change decisions. You might think there's no opportunity when you see yesterday's long upper shadow, but today a big bullish candlestick even hits the limit up. At this moment, looking at the 30-minute chart makes it clear—that upper shadow was just a shakeout. The key is that the overall market needs to stabilize synchronously; resonance is the real signal.

**Once the trend is misaligned, even a glance is a mistake**

When the order of rising is broken, don't force it. Sometimes it seems like opportunities are everywhere, but in fact, it's a trap. It’s easy to say to go with the trend, but it’s difficult to do; however, this is the premise for surviving and exiting.

**Not worth investing outside of hot topics**

Short-term operations that deviate from hot sectors will see a sharp decline in success rates. You either ride the wave or don't play at all.

**Trading plans are not for viewing**

The thrill of impulsively placing an order lasts only a moment, but the regret of losses must be endured for a long time. "Trade your plan, plan your trade" — this is not just a platitude, it's a rule for survival.

**Don't be kidnapped by others' judgments**

Any analyst's or influencer's opinion can only serve as a reference. Real judgment relies on one's own thinking and review. Following the crowd results in being trapped.

**The direction is set, choosing coins won't be chaotic**

First look at the big picture, then select the targets carefully. When the direction is correct, the results are doubled with half the effort; when the direction is wrong, no matter how good the coin is, it will be useless.

**Chase on the way up, don't gamble at the bottom**

Guessing the bottom is a manifestation of the psychology of making quick money and is also the easiest trap to get liquidated. Coin prices often move in the direction of least resistance. Instead of fantasizing about a rebound, it is better to get involved in an already started upward trend and choose a direction with less resistance.

**Stay calm and keep a cash position whether making big profits or losses**

This is the easiest thing to overlook but the most crucial one. After making a big profit or suffering a big loss, first stop, empty your positions and reassess the market, sorting out the reasons. If this step is done well, the success rate for what follows can reach over 90%—this is backed by years of practical data.

These rules have been repeatedly verified over the past seven years, each one paid for with real money.
