#美联储回购协议计划 People who survive in the crypto world never rely on luck—let's talk about the rules of trading survival
Over the years in the crypto market, I’ve seen too many people end up wiped out. Their failures seem random, but upon closer review, it’s not a matter of poor vision, but rather repeatedly making three deadly mistakes.
**First pitfall: The impulse to chase highs.** When prices surge, your heartbeat quickens, and only one thought runs through your mind—"This time I can make a profit." But just after you buy in, the main players dump. Conversely, when prices hit rock bottom, no one dares to buy the dip. Those who can turn "buying the dip" into muscle memory are the ones truly riding the market cycle’s benefits.
**Second pitfall: Being broken by psychological battles.** Is it useful to correctly judge the trend? Not really. As long as the market pulls a few fake breakouts or spikes, it can shake out all your holdings. Those who can’t hold on simply haven’t learned the lesson of "saving some firepower."
**Third pitfall: Going all-in with a full position.** When you go all-in, even if the opportunity arrives, you have no ammunition left. Even if your trend judgment is perfect, all you can do is watch others optimize their gains through rebalancing and switching coins.
Ultimately, you’re not defeated by the market itself, but by your own habits.
**1. Don’t act rashly before a trend reversal.** Sideways movement at high levels often signals new highs, while consolidation at low levels usually means further dips. If the rhythm hasn’t changed, you must be patient.
**2. Volatile markets test your patience.** Frequent trading during such times is like working for the exchange. When the market is sideways, you should just observe.
**3. The daily chart is a good teacher.** When the daily candle closes bearish, it’s often a buy signal; bullish closes are sell signals. Follow the candle’s mood—this beats gut feelings a hundred times.
**4. The speed of decline tells a story.** Slow declines? Rebounds are weak. Rapid drops? The next surge could be fierce. Understanding the rhythm helps you find the beat.
**5. Pyramid your positions and enter in stages.** Always keep some ammunition in reserve—don’t let market volatility mess with your rhythm.
**6. After a big move, a consolidation period is inevitable.** After a sharp rise or fall, sideways movement is certain; after consolidation, a new direction will emerge. Never go all-in at the peak, nor give up in despair.
Honestly, the dumbest methods are often the most effective. But most people can’t walk this path very far.
Why? Because you need to learn patience. Stay calm when others are frantic, dare to act when others are hopeless. Those who make money in this market aren’t lucky—they simply apply these "dumb methods" to the extreme. Opportunities in crypto are plentiful; what’s truly scarce are those who can survive.

Exactly right, but execution is extremely difficult. I've seen too many people who understand these principles but forget everything as soon as the market turns.

That's right, you just have to hold back and not move. What I fear the most is sideways trading; I've already paid several tuition fees when I was reckless.

Honestly, most people die at the moment of chasing highs, and the rest die at the moment of not daring to buy the dip.
I have deep experience with pyramid building; when you're out of bullets and an opportunity comes, it's truly despairing.
To be honest, going all-in with a full position is gambling, not trading.
When it drops quickly and rebounds fiercely, only experience can tell you what's happening.
The hardest part is patience; those who can endure are really not far from making money.

Exactly right, but executing it is really hell mode
---
Are those full-position traders still shouting "buy the dip" in the group? Haha
---
The pyramid building tactic is indeed ruthless. I once got washed out completely after going all-in before
---
The logic that it drops fast and then surges fiercely, I need to ponder it more
---
Holding back and not acting is really harder than any technical analysis. Who doesn't want quick money?
---
I've seen too many people get liquidated after being pierced, and their mental defenses just collapse
---
This article is about not being a fool who chases highs, but at critical moments, I still can't help myself
---
Even if the direction is right, that sentence hit me. I understand the principle, but I just can't control my hands
---
People willing to buy at low levels do live longer, and holding coins earns more than trading them

The part about going all-in on a full position was too heartbreaking; that's how I died.

**In practice, I’ve summarized 6 relatively reliable methods:**
**1. Don’t act rashly before a trend reversal.** Sideways movement at high levels often signals new highs, while consolidation at low levels usually means further dips. If the rhythm hasn’t changed, you must be patient.
**2. Volatile markets test your patience.** Frequent trading during such times is like working for the exchange. When the market is sideways, you should just observe.
