Sun Yuchen’s 19 rules—only 3 are truly valuable.
Rule 18: Win on probability, not perfection. A 40–60% win rate + controlling risk—that’s how you win the whole game.
Rule 5: Wealth comes from narrative, not from the product.
Rule 3: Trend matters more than effort; if the direction is wrong, even “trying harder” just drains you.
I’ve verified these three countless times in the contract market.
The logic of the “Brahma” system is exactly the same as Rule 18: don’t chase perfection on every trade—chase long-term win rate. Shorting BTC/ETH, with an entry win probability of 45–55%, but each trade has positive expected return—so after repeated rounds, you win.
Rule 7 says “move slowly equals death,” and I disagree with half of it.
Slow is wrong—but rushing into the market is even more dangerous. The market doesn’t reward speed; it rewards the speed that comes after waiting for the right moment. Wait until FVG + OB + a liquidation map all resonate, then enter—10 times faster than chasing price.
Rule 2: “If you’re not buying a home and not getting married before age 30, invest the money in yourself”—in 2013, Sun Yuchen bet on Bitcoin when it was $100. It wasn’t about saving money; it was about exploiting the gap in cognition. The real problem has never been where you put your money—it's whether your cognition can recognize opportunities.
Out of the 19 rules, there’s actually only one thing:
Be one step ahead of everyone else—bet on the things that get mocked—then live long enough for them to be proven.
