It's not about getting rich; it's about not dying at the poker table.

I didn't give him any specific cryptocurrencies, nor did I offer any so-called 'divine strategies'; I only asked him to strictly adhere to three fundamental rules.

After 90 days, his account reached 50,000U, and during that time, there wasn't a single liquidation.

Today, if we lay out this set of ideas, whether it can be used well depends on your reverence for the matter of 'surviving.'

⸻

First rule: clean out the account before discussing trading.

The vast majority of people lose money not because of wrong directional judgments, but because they start off in a position that is destined to fail.

My approach was very blunt:

Regardless of whether you have 1200U, 3000U, or 10,000U, you must split it into three parts, each independent from the others.

A piece that only focuses on high-frequency actions, the goal is to practice feel, not to chase results;

A piece that only waits for a clear trend, without structure, plays dead;

The last piece is completely untraded, just 'insurance money', used to combat extreme volatility.

The essence of this step is only one:

Any failure can only hurt part of you, not your entire life.

Full position is not bravery, it is having no way out.

⸻

Second rule: When the market is bad, doing nothing is also a skill.

What really eats people is never the big rises and falls, but the directionless sideways market.

So I only recognize one condition:

If the trend is not out, don't prove how diligent you are.

The criteria can be very simple:

Without clear volume and structural confirmation, consider the market non-existent;

Only after a breakthrough is established, is the first participation allowed;

As long as the paper profit reaches a phased goal, immediately withdraw part of the profit.

Remember one thing:

You are not here to catch every wave; you are only responsible for catching 'the segment that has already started running'.

The market does not lack opportunities, it lacks patience.

⸻

Third rule: Completely strip emotions from trading.

Most liquidations do not happen at the moment of strategy failure,

But it occurs when you start to 'take a temporary extra look'.

So my requirements are almost harsh:

Set stop losses in advance; if not in place, don't discuss reasons;

Leave the screen at the right time, don't empathize with the market;

Any trade that makes your heart race is a risk warning, not an opportunity.

When trading becomes boring, repetitive, mechanical,

Only then can you truly stand on the long-term side.

⸻

Later he asked me a question:

"Did my skills suddenly improve?"

I said no.

It's just that you start systematically reducing mistakes.

From a few thousand U to tens of thousands U,

What relies on is never a single doubling.

But rather to repeatedly avoid being knocked out.

The market has opportunities every day,

But the principal is not.

First learn to survive,

Then talk about getting rich.#美联储降息
