Over more than 7 years in trading, the reason I’m still here isn’t because I can predict the market—it’s because of these 10 rules.
From a few thousand and growing little by little to where I am now, I’ve been liquidated along the way, and I’ve paid plenty of tuition. The ones that truly helped me stay steady are actually some pretty ordinary things. You might think I’m bragging, but the tuition costs alone could let an average person buy several cars.
1) The smaller your principal, the less you can rush. Having little money isn’t the problem—trying to double it too fast is. Focus on a few trends you can understand, rather than opening and closing positions every day.
2) Only trade setups you can explain clearly. If the logic can’t be explained and the location/entry can’t be seen clearly, it’s better not to trade. If you really want to try, use only a small position.
3) Don’t get carried away after good news is already priced in. By the time the news comes out, the price has already risen a chunk. The hotter the emotions, the more you need to guard against funds using the news for the “sell the news” move.
4) Tidy up your exposure before key moments. Before long holidays, data releases, or major events—if the direction isn’t clear, reduce your position. There’s no need to gamble on the news.
5) Don’t expect to eat the whole move in one go on a medium/long-term trade. When it gets clearly overheated, take profit. Keep some cash—there may be another chance later.
6) In short-term trading, only touch tickers with volume. Without trading volume and without meaningful capital attention, even the best story is hard to sustain short-term space.
7) First look at the price-action rhythm, then judge direction. A fast drop is not the same thing as a slow drop; a slow grind up isn’t the same as a sudden spike.
8) If you’re wrong, admit it. Stop-loss isn’t failure—it’s leaving yourself a chance to strike again.
9) Don’t cut short-term timeframes into too many tiny pieces. Using 15 minutes together with trend, position, and volume/energy is already enough to solve most problems.
10) Don’t learn too many methods. What truly fits you—practice one or two setups until you’re fully comfortable.
But the part that really helps still depends on hands-on execution. No matter how much you talk, it’s just blowing smoke. @币神z $PHA
