At one o'clock in the morning, I received a distress signal from my fren—nearly 100,000 U fell into the account, the family savings are almost depleted, and the mortgage is also a bit tight. I've heard too many similar stories, but I've noticed a pattern: most people blame their losses on poor market conditions, but in reality, the problem is mostly with their mindset and trading habits.

That time I wasn't in a hurry to help her analyze the trends, but instead shared a few survival rules I had summarized over the years. She persisted for three months, and her account slowly climbed back to six figures. These are not secrets, just practical experience gained from lessons.

**Don't be a prey of FOMO, be an observer of the market**

A new coin suddenly skyrockets, and the group is filled with voices saying "Get on the bus quickly"? At times like this, my habit is to let it run for three days first. Not every surge is worth participating in. The rules I set for myself are very simple: a coin that skyrockets must be observed for three days, confirming it can hold above the 5-day moving average and that trading volume steadily increases by more than 50%. Only then do I use 5% of my total funds to test the waters. If the conditions are not met? Then it's just watching the show.

Market opportunities are always endless; the players who survive until the end are the winners.

**Consolidation is not a waste of time, it is the best training period**

Seeing the market in a sideways trend, many people can't sit still and always want to do something to prove they are still alive. On the contrary, a sideways period is actually a golden window for observation and learning. At those moments when people in the group shout "just cut losses," I will be fully alert, because the low point of market sentiment often breeds the next opportunity.

Real money-making experts never rush.
