Burning the late nights to watch the market and study all kinds of indicators, yet very few people have ever seriously done the math. $BTR

If you have a steady income of $100 every day, how much could you earn in a year? Assuming 1 U ≈ 6.8 yuan, 100 U equals 680 yuan. Over 365 days, that’s nearly 250,000. If you earn 50 U per day, you’ll make more than 120,000 in a year. Even if you only earn 20 U per day, that’s still about 50,000 in a year. When you see this, many people’s first reaction is: “Earning a hundred a day—who can’t do that?” The problem is this: $龙虾

It looks simple, but the truly hard part is consistency.
People always think about doubling one day and turning things around within a month. In the end, they make frequent trades, chase rallies and cut losses late, and finally give the profits back to the market. Mature traders focus on compounding—not on getting rich quickly. To profit long-term, you can’t do without three core things. $MAGMA

First, build your own trading rules.
Know when to enter and when to exit, where to place your stop-loss, and how to take profit—everything should be planned in advance.

Second, execute strictly.
Many people don’t actually lack understanding of the market—they fail to execute properly. When it’s time to take profit, they get greedy; when it’s time to cut losses, they hesitate. In the end, small gains turn into losses.

Third, maintain a stable mindset.
When the market rises, don’t get impulsive. When it falls, don’t panic. Don’t change your pace just because someone else is making money. The market always has opportunities. What really matters is whether you still have the capital and the mental state to seize the next one. Improve a little every day, and with long-term accumulation, even small profits can turn into big results.

If you’re still repeatedly losing, we can chat. I’ll explain the complex trading logic in a simpler way, so you can avoid years of detours.

Should you buy spot or futures? One-sentence overview: spot profits from trends, while futures profits from volatility—$BTR .

Spot means you genuinely buy a coin. If the price drops, as long as you don’t sell, the coins are still yours and you won’t be forcibly liquidated due to short-term fluctuations. So spot is better suited for long-term holding, DCA (dollar-cost averaging), and gradual position building.$龙虾

Futures are completely different. They use leverage to magnify both gains and risks. If you’re right about the direction, profits get amplified; if you’re wrong, you could be liquidated directly. Many people lose money not because they can’t read the market, but because their positions are too heavy and their leverage too high, leaving no room to adjust.$MAGMA

So what kind of people are suitable for trading futures?
At least meet these conditions:
First, at least one year of consistent trading experience.
Second, able to accept losses—don’t treat futures as a “make-it-back” tool.
Third, have a complete trading system, knowing how to set stop-loss, take-profit, and control position size.
Fourth, can manage leverage and don’t rely on high-multiple “stimulation.”
If you can’t meet these, futures will most likely just be a way of sending money to the market.

The simplest advice for beginners: if you’re new to the crypto world, prioritize spot.
DCA, buying on dips, and long-term holding are more suitable for ordinary people than constantly tinkering with futures. If you’re already losing money in futures, pause first—don’t think you can recover with the next trade. Never use high leverage, never go all-in, and never borrow money to trade crypto.

The biggest ability in the crypto world isn’t making money the fastest. It’s being able to stay in the market after how many market cycles. Spot may be slower, but it gives you time to grow. Futures may look like huge gains, but for people without discipline, in the end it usually just comes down to one liquidation event.

Many retail investors misjudge the key point of rolling capital with a small account: $BTR

They think that if they want to quickly double 1000 USDT, they need to go all-in with heavy positions, frequently churn orders, and in the end, the outcome is basically getting liquidated quickly. After working in the crypto space for many years, I’ve truly helped countless newcomers roll from small funds into big returns. Today, I’ll publicly share the complete, step-by-step practical process for rolling a 1000 USDT account from zero—everything is fully actionable and replicable from start to finish. $SNDK

First step: control your position size.
With 1000 USDT as a starting point, don’t put everything in at once. Keep each trade between 300–500 USDT to ensure you can survive. When your principal is small, the most important thing isn’t how much you can earn—it’s not making fatal mistakes. $龙虾

Second step: only do opportunities with certainty.
Don’t chase when you see a rise, and don’t catch a dip just because prices fall. Choose entries where the trend is clear, there are support and resistance levels, and the plan is defined. Before opening a position, decide in advance how much you’ll aim to profit and how much you’re willing to lose.

Third step: stop-loss must be set in advance.
If your direction is wrong, admit it—don’t average down and “hold on hard.” For a 1000 USDT account, limit single-trade losses to an acceptable range, so one mistake won’t affect the next opportunity.

Fourth step: learn to protect your profits.
Once the market moves in your favor, take profit in batches. Don’t always think you can hold to the very end of the whole move. The money you make should become yours first.

Fifth step: adjust position size after your account grows.
As your funds grow from 1000 USDT to 3000 USDT and 5000 USDT, gradually increase your position size according to your ability—but your risk-control standards can’t be lowered.

Small capital relies on staying defensive; medium capital relies on doing the right setups; large capital relies on being steady. Rolling capital isn’t a get-rich-quick game—it’s repeating correct actions.

Some people understand a lot, yet they lose more and more—$BTR

Trading isn’t a knowledge competition. No matter how much technical knowledge you have, if you can’t control yourself, it’s still hard to make money. The real gap isn’t between who can analyze more complexly, but between who can exercise self-control.$MAGMA

First, don’t get scared off by short-term rallies.
Some markets surge strongly, but the pullbacks are often healthy. This usually means money is rotating and changing hands—it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s the end. The truly dangerous sign is when a rally has no volume, yet the price keeps getting weaker and weaker.$龙虾

Second, don’t rush to buy the bottom.
A bounce after a sudden crash can look like a great opportunity. But if there isn’t sustained capital flowing in, it may just be a short-lived repair.

Third, pay attention to trading volume.
Price tells you the result; volume tells you investors’ attitude. If prices rise on heavy volume at higher levels, you can keep observing. If prices consolidate or move sideways on declining volume at higher levels, you need to be more cautious. The same applies at bottoms. A real trend isn’t determined by a single candlestick—it’s formed by capital that keeps pushing.

Lastly, and this is the hardest part: learn to wait. Many people lose money because they want to trade every day. When there’s no opportunity, they still try to force one, and eventually drag themselves into an emotional cycle. The market is never short of opportunities. What it lacks are people who can control themselves.

The more you try to win back the money you lost, the more likely you are to be eliminated by the market. $SNDK

I have seen too many people go through this cycle: they lose money and refuse to accept it, then immediately add to their positions to try to recover. They keep losing, then start betting on the next trade. One final mistake, and their principal is wiped out. Most of the time, it is not that the market is targeting you; it is that your trading method has gone wrong. Over the years of trading, I have come to value one thing more and more: risk control. But very few people can truly do it. $MAGMA

First, do not trade on instinct.
Before the market has clearly moved, all judgments are just guesses. Waiting for the trend to be confirmed and then following the opportunity is more important than imagining the outcome in advance. $龙虾

Second, stay out when you cannot understand it.
The market moves every day, but not every fluctuation belongs to you. When you are not confident, waiting is also a kind of trading.

Third, your position size must be small.
Do not bet all your capital at once. Only when your account is still alive will you have another chance to make a move.

Fourth, stop-loss must be executed.
Many huge losses are not because the first judgment was wrong, but because people refuse to admit it when they are wrong.

Fifth, stop trading when your emotions are off.
When you are angry, anxious, or desperate to recover your losses, the decisions you make are often wrong.

Many people ask how to quickly recover losses. But the real answer is: stop making mistakes first. In the crypto world, you do not turn things around by gambling on one win; you survive through long-term stability. Impatient people leave early. Steady people can stay. If you are still getting liquidated again and again, you might as well start by changing your trading method.

Really wanting to turn things around by trading coins—remember this article, learn how to move onto a profitable path $AKE

When I first decided to do this, it was just one thought: trading coins to support the household. I’ve been on this road for eight years. My win rate has stayed at over 80%, and my account grew from tens of thousands to eight figures. Let me tell you 10 methods that use real money—if you understand them, they can truly save you. $MAGMA

First, for strong coins with consecutive pullbacks, don’t panic blindly—many opportunities are hidden after the adjustment.
Second, for coins that have been rising continuously, learn to take profit in batches. Putting profit away is the real return. $龙虾
Third, after a short-term blowout surge, don’t rush in. Wait for the pullback and confirmation—it’s safer than chasing the price.
Fourth, in strong market conditions, only trade pullbacks—not emotionally chase breakouts.
Fifth, if a long-term rangebound market shows no change, consider capital efficiency—don’t let time waste away.
Sixth, if your buy thesis no longer holds, exit promptly. Don’t treat hope as a strategy.
Seventh, for popular coins that keep trending up, pay attention to the rhythm. The bigger the rise, the higher the risk.
Eighth, trading volume matters a lot. Watch for low-level breakout with volume; be cautious when volume expands but the rally stalls at higher levels.
Ninth, only trade trend markets. For the short term, look at short cycles; for the medium term, look at moving-average structure; for the bigger trend, follow the long-term direction.
Tenth, even small capital has opportunities—but it’s not about gambling. It relies on methods, patience, and execution.

The biggest opportunity in the crypto world doesn’t belong to the most impulsive people—it belongs to those who can manage risk and wait for the right moment.

If you trade contracts, just remember these four sentences is enough.$MAGMA

Not a god indicator, but the underlying logic for judging direction.$龙虾
First, when price breaks through a consolidation/volume-dense zone while funds continue to flow in, the trend is more likely to continue.
Second, price has broken out, but funds haven’t kept up; many times it’s only a bull trap—be cautious.
Third, when price breaks down below the consolidation/volume-dense zone and funds flow out in sync, the probability of further decline is often higher.
Fourth, after breaking down, if funds don’t keep decreasing and even start to return, don’t rush to short—be careful of a bear-trap rebound.$AKE

Many people trade contracts, staring at the candlestick charts every day, but they rarely pay attention to changes in fund flows. Price is just the result; funds are what truly drive the market. Once the direction is clear, don’t rush to chase.
I personally prefer waiting for a 1-hour timeframe pullback to confirm. After a few consecutive candles stabilize, then combine key support and the high-volume/volume-dense areas to look for an entry opportunity. Before opening a position, set your stop-loss first. If the direction doesn’t change, be patient and hold; if you’re wrong, exit decisively.

Trading fears nothing more than constantly chasing and killing the price back and forth. Pick a direction, follow the plan, and it’s easier to make money than placing a dozen trades in a single day. Truly stable profit-makers don’t rely on prediction—they trade by aligning with funds and the trend.

Missing this post means missing the chance to get rich! $MAGMA

There are two key points in trading. One is your win rate: in 10 trades, how many did you get right. The other is the risk-reward ratio: the average profit-to-loss ratio each time. Studying trading is about studying these two factors. Either improve your win rate, or improve your risk-reward ratio. Everything you think about ultimately comes down to these two elements. $HEMI

Many people think futures contracts are just gambling. But the biggest difference is that gambling can only be played with luck, while trading allows you to filter opportunities. What you should really do isn’t opening orders every day—it’s only trading the market conditions with lower risk and higher return. $龙虾

Over these years, my biggest change has been reducing unproductive trades. In the past, when I saw volatility I wanted to jump in. Now I’d rather stay out of the market than make a careless move. A lot of losses aren’t caused by the market—they’re caused by your own hands itching to act. If you want to improve your win rate, start by making proper preparations. Don’t open a position until you’ve clearly identified the trend. Don’t trade unless your plan is written out. If your condition isn’t good, just rest. Emotions, sleep, and execution ability—all affect the outcome.

To improve the risk-reward ratio, you need to make losses smaller and let winning trades run. Set your stop-loss in advance, ride the trend for profits, and don’t change your plan just because of short-term fluctuations. Trading isn’t about who places more orders—it’s about who makes fewer mistakes.

People who really make money only look at the chart twice a day $MAGMA
Yes—only twice.

Check it in the morning and check it in the evening. Do whatever you should do with the rest of your time. They aren’t lazy; it’s because they know what they’re doing. Six words: buy when it’s a buy, sell when it’s a sell. $AKE
If there are no buy/sell points, don’t make a move.

If there’s no signal, stay in cash and wait. When the signal appears, enter according to the plan. Many people lose money not because the market is too difficult, but because they don’t have an opportunity yet they still force trades, turning trading into a way to vent emotions. Everyone’s trading method is different—position size, risk tolerance, and trading horizon are all different—so someone else’s buy points may not fit you. $龙虾

What’s truly important is to build your own trading rules, then execute them consistently over the long term. The market moves every day. When it’s rising, you fear missing the move; when it’s falling, you fear it will keep dropping. Once emotions get thrown off, your actions get thrown off too. Rules are the most reliable anchor in trading. Sticking to your rules matters more than staring at the screen every day.

People are still asking every day: "Should I go long or go short?" $龙虾
Those who ask this question are basically already a beat behind. $AKE

A few days ago, I chatted with a boss who has been trading for ten years. He said something that really stuck with me: in this market, anyone can talk about direction—whether you can make money depends on the rhythm.
$MAGMA

Many people are still debating bottom-fishing, chasing rallies, spot versus futures, but the market has already changed. In the past, you could hold and wait for things to come back. Now, once many coins weaken, they only shrink further.

I’ve seen quite a few people who made a lot in a bull market, but because they couldn’t bring themselves to sell, they ended up giving all their profits back in one drawdown. Later, I also changed my trading approach. I no longer bet that the market will definitely go up or definitely go down. Instead, I only trade opportunities I can understand. If there are signals, I enter; once the target is reached, I exit. If there’s no opportunity, I patiently stay in cash.

Whether you make a lot or a little isn’t the point—the point is that every trade can be replicated.

The biggest lesson I’ve learned over the years is: make money through timing; protect your capital through position sizing. Getting the direction wrong is fine—as long as you cut losses in time. Making less is fine—as long as you don’t wipe out your account in a single loss. The current market is very realistic: those who execute survive, while emotional traders get weeded out. If you’re still randomly chasing, randomly holding, and have no rhythm—no matter whether it’s a bull or a bear market, it’s hard for you to turn things around.

Treat trading coins for profit as a career, and you’ll be the one who makes money$BTR

I used to make a lot of mistakes too. I used to watch the K-line charts at midnight every day—when it went up, I chased; when it went down, I panicked. My mood rose and fell with the market. I went through liquidation, insomnia, and anxiety; I missed none of the pitfalls that should have been avoided. In the end, I didn’t make money—my body couldn’t take it first. Later, I changed my trading approach:$龙虾

First, fix your trading time.
I don’t watch the market all day. I review and place trades after 9 p.m. By then, the market has digested the day’s moves, and a lot of messy fluctuations have already been filtered out—so my judgments are calmer.$TAC

Second, protect profits in time.
Many people lose money—not because they’ve never made money, but because after they earn some, they’re unwilling to leave. When profits hit your target, realize them in batches. Never let winning trades turn back into losses.

Third, trades must have a basis.
Don’t buy or sell based on gut feeling. Trends, trading volume, and indicator signals should all match your rules. If you can’t understand the market, it’s better to miss out than to force a trade.

Fourth, control risk strictly.
For every trade, decide in advance where you will exit. A stop-loss isn’t admitting defeat—it’s protecting your next opportunity.

Fifth, stay away from a few big traps.
Don’t go all-in, don’t gamble with high leverage, and don’t chase altcoins you don’t understand.

Later, I realized that people who make money all share one thing:
They’re not like gamblers—they’re more like operators. They execute according to a plan every day: they make the money they’re supposed to make, and they take the losses they’re supposed to take. For advanced traders, it’s all about long-term discipline. If the principal is gone, everything else is just talk. Treat trading like work, and time will gradually give you the answer.

There’s a stupid way to do it—profit margin is 98%. I’ve used this magic method to make 2 million trading crypto!

First, watch for “anti-dip” coins. $TAC
When the market panics and drops, if a certain coin clearly performs better than the overall market, it means the capital is more strongly认可 it—these coins are worth focusing on.

Second, judge the trend using moving averages. $龙虾
For the short term, watch the 5-day moving average: stay above it to indicate the short-term trend is intact; if it breaks below, reduce risk.
For the medium term, watch the 20-day moving average: as long as the trend hasn’t been broken, don’t let short-term fluctuations shake you.

Third, the breakout move depends on volume. $BTR
During an up move, if volume confirms the price action, it shows the capital push is effective. If there’s heavy volume selling during a drop and the structure is broken, exit in time.

Fourth, don’t let losses grow.
After you buy, if it doesn’t move as expected, adjust promptly. Real mature traders aren’t afraid of small losses—they’re afraid of big ones.

Fifth, choose strong coins first.
When the market turns, the stronger ones often rise faster, and rebounds are easier to recover.

Sixth, respect the market trend.
Don’t think it’s cheap just because it has fallen a lot, and don’t be afraid to buy just because it has risen a lot.
The most important thing in trading is buying at the right position—not chasing the lowest price.

Consistent profitability doesn’t come from predicting every market move. It comes from building rules and then following them strictly.
Buy when it’s time to buy, sell when it’s time to sell, and wait when it’s time to be in cash. 发哥跟丹基地

Recently, in the crypto world, many retail investors have been learning a kind of instrument—booing (discouraging).$TAC

It’s in a bear market that the real gap gets widened. I want to tell ordinary people a few things:
First, don’t easily dismiss the crypto industry.$BTR
This market still offers ordinary people a chance to change themselves, but the prerequisite is that you improve your understanding, not make blind bets.
Second, don’t chase hype in a bear market.
Opportunities are always there, but don’t rush in just because you’re afraid of missing out. The less people are talking about something, the more you should stay calm and filter carefully.$龙虾
Third, truly high-quality projects often grow in downturns.
In a bull market you look at the stories; in a bear market you look at the fundamentals. The market will eliminate a lot of trash, and it will also leave behind genuinely valuable things.
Fourth, in a bear market, the most important thing is not making money, but accumulating.
Research projects, improve your judgment, expand your information network, participate with small positions, and stick to long-term planning.
Fifth, keep some ammunition.
Don’t spend all your capital in one shot. When the market turns around, whether you have funds and the right mindset determines whether you can seize opportunities.发哥跟丹基地
Sixth, don’t leave the market too easily.
Many people rush in when they’re excited at the highs, then leave in despair at the lows—only to miss the next round of opportunities.

Endure the solitude and lie low through the bear market; wait quietly for the winds to rise—then you’ll be able to catch the burst of wealth-making opportunity that belongs to you.

I keep seeing you all talk about these bullish factors every day 😂$BTC
This time, the angle Grayscale gave is actually pretty interesting: Bitcoin’s correlation with the Nasdaq has already dropped from over 60% to around 33%, while it’s increasingly behaving like gold, with correlation rising to over 50%.$BTR
Put simply, the market seems to be starting to treat BTC as a “scarce asset” again, not just something that rises and falls with U.S. stocks.$龙虾
And when you look at U.S. debt reaching 40 trillion dollars, with long-term Treasury yields also moving up, capital will naturally start looking for things that rely less on the traditional financial system.
So if BTC can really break out this time, I think the “digital gold” narrative may get lively again.
I just don’t know whether, with so many bullish factors this time, the price can actually hold its own lol

Don't be fooled by leverage multiples. The only thing you really need to focus on is this: the maximum you can lose on this trade. $BTR

The moment you open a contract, you hear people shouting, “I’m 50x” or “I’m 100x,” like higher leverage makes you a pro. Wake up—multiples are just numbers. What determines your survival is how much of your own money you put on the line. $TAC

Opening with 10,000 USDT at 100x means your margin is only 100 USDT. If it drops 10%, you lose about 100 USDT—no big deal. But opening with 10,000 USDT at 10x and risking 5,000 USDT: if it drops 5%, you lose 2,500 USDT right away. That’s enough to ruin your sleep for a week. Understand now? It’s not the leverage that kills you—it’s your nerve to go all-in. $龙虾

I made this mistake before too.
I thought high-multiple contracts were exciting, that if I caught one move I could turn things around. But after getting liquidated again and again, I finally realized: the core of making money with contracts isn’t how much you gain—it’s first figuring out how much you can lose at most.

The truly mature approach is to set your maximum loss amount first, then work backward to determine your position size. For example, if you can accept losing 200 USDT at most on this trade, then regardless of whether you open at 10x or 50x, you calculate your position based on risking 200 USDT. If you lock in the downside risk in advance, your emotions won’t be dragged around by the market.

Many people lose money not because they got the direction wrong, but because they never think about each trade with a question like: “If I’m wrong, can I actually handle it?”

If you’re still confused, you’re welcome to chat as well. I’ll be here. 发哥跟丹基地

In the crypto world for these past few years, I’ve “eaten dragon meat” and fired big cannons. $BTR
Friends asked me, “What do you rely on to make money?”
I said, “I make money off my wife.”
My friend looked envious: “So impressive—did you find a rich lady?” $TAC
I said, “No. She takes care of supporting me, and I’m responsible for studying how to turn things around.”
In the end, my friend was amused for a long time.
Actually, this isn’t “soft rice” eating. It’s “losses” in the market that raised me. $龙虾
When I first started trading coins, I was also a standard little leek. Seeing others post their profits, I thought I’d be the next legend soon; when a coin rose 10%, I rushed in; when it fell 20%, I told myself it was an opportunity; when it fell 50%, I comforted myself, “The whales are washing the market—soon we’ll rebound.”
In the end, my account taught me a lesson: dreams are plump, but the balance is painfully thin. Those years, I basically experienced everything—liquidations, being trapped, and cutting losses. Later, I realized that making money isn’t about trading a dozen times every day, but waiting for the real opportunity that belongs to you.
Now when I trade, I only stick to a few principles:
First, don’t over-allocate.
Even in the most certain market, I won’t put all my capital in. The market always has surprises—leaving yourself a way out is what lets you survive to the next opportunity.
Second, don’t chase pumps or panic-sell.
When others go crazy, I stay calm; when others are terrified, I start observing.
Opportunities aren’t on every day, but traps are every day.
Third, every trade must have a plan.
Before buying, think through why you’re buying, where to take profit if it rises, and where to admit you’re wrong if it falls.
Trading without a plan is essentially gambling.
Fourth, the money you earn must be secured into your pocket.
Many people’s biggest problem isn’t that they’ve never made money—it’s that the money they make never truly belongs to them.
When the account number doubles, you get excited; but only when you actually withdraw it to your hand does it count as profit.
The biggest takeaway from these years is this:
The crypto world isn’t a cash machine, and it isn’t a casino. It’s more like a long-term exam.
Some people score high thanks to luck, then give it all back soon after; some people start out with ordinary results, but improve slowly through discipline—and in the end, they’re the ones who stay.

Don’t just sit there with a short-squeeze trapped position! Four self-rescue moves from veteran traders—after reading this, you’ll lose at least half less $BTR

Don’t stubbornly hold, don’t blindly add positions, and don’t gamble that the market will definitely come back. Many people get liquidated not because their direction is wrong, but because they mishandle the trade. Real traders deal with a trapped short like this:
First, look at the trend—don’t go by fantasies. $TAC
If price breaks through a key resistance level, moving averages strengthen, and the short term keeps rising, it means the short thesis has failed. In that case, cutting losses in time is protecting your principal. $龙虾
Second, look at structure to judge whether adjustment is possible.
If the market is only ranging with no clear direction, you can use price swings to adjust your position. Reduce at the high end, buy back at the low end, so your cost gradually improves. But if the trend has already changed, don’t keep fantasizing.
Third, handle it lightly at the pressure level.
When price reaches a strong resistance zone, and you see big volume but it doesn’t go up—or a spike and then a pullback—you can consider a small position to try. Never crazily add to “reduce your cost.” 发哥跟丹基地
Fourth, hedge risk when necessary.
If your position is too heavy and you can’t judge direction, you can use a small reverse position to reduce risk.

Remember: hedging is protection, not gambling.
In the futures market, the greatest skill isn’t predicting price movement. It’s knowing when to hold on and when to exit. As long as your account is still there, opportunities remain. Once your principal is gone, all judgments become meaningless.

Many people think that making money with contracts is just about getting the direction right.$BTR

But I want to tell you a harsh truth: getting the direction right doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll make money.
I made the same mistake in the first few years I traded contracts. I lost several hundred thousand in half a year. But looking back, many of my trades actually had the right direction. So why did I still lose? Because I wasn’t really losing to the market movement—I was losing to my own trading style. Later, after reviewing all my losses, I found I had fallen into three traps.$TAC

First, I was entering too quickly.
I would rush in when there was a breakout, and chase when prices were rising. As a result, just after I entered, the main players would do a pullback and shakeout, and my position would get swept out immediately.$龙虾

Second, my stop-loss was too mechanical.
Many people like to use a fixed 3% or 5% stop-loss. But contract markets can be extremely volatile. Sometimes it’s just normal fluctuation that throws you out—then the market continues to move in the direction you expected.

Third, my position size was too heavy.
Even if your direction is correct, it can’t survive a single large drawdown. Going all-in once is basically handing your account over to the market. Later, I set three rules for myself:
1. Don’t over-allocate; manage funds separately.
2. Don’t “dead hold”—if the trend is broken, exit immediately.
3. If you don’t understand the market, it’s better to stay in cash and wait.
