From liquidation retail investors to stable profits: The 9 iron rules I gained in 7 years $BNB
Seven years ago, I was like most retail investors: chasing highs and selling lows, buying at the wrong time, holding onto positions until liquidation. Watching my account shrink repeatedly, I questioned whether I was suited for this market. Until I realized — to survive in the crypto world, I must have a set of rules ingrained in my bones.
Using 7 years of loss experience, I exchanged it for these 9 practical iron rules
1. A strong coin falling for the 7th day is a signal of opportunity
If it stabilizes after falling for the 7th consecutive day, try a light position on the 8th day, the probability of a rebound is very high. But if there are still no signs of stopping the drop on the 7th day, don’t touch it.
2. Reduce position by 30% after rising for 3 days
The market has a rule of "three rises followed by a correction", locking in part of the profits, while the remaining position bets on the continuation of the trend, avoiding rollercoaster rides.
3. If the price drops more than 5% in one day, do not rush to buy the dip
Even for strong coins, after a sharp drop, there is still an inertia decline; wait for the trading volume to shrink and the rate of decline to slow down before entering.
4. A strong coin breaking below the 30-day line is the entry time
A strong coin should stabilize after retracing to a key moving average (like the 30-day line), which is a low-risk buying point.
5. If there is no breakthrough after 5 days of sideways trading, reduce position by 50% and wait
Sideways trading takes time cost; if there is no directional breakthrough within 5 days, it indicates that the main force has no intention to act, timely transfer funds.
6. If there is no profit after holding for 2 days, immediately cut losses
Time is also a cost; if there is no profit within 2 days, it indicates the direction may be wrong, decisively exit.
7. If the top three falling coins drop over 10% on low volume, bet on a rebound the next day
A rapid drop on low volume is often panic selling, the next day, lightly bet on a 3%-5% rebound, quick in and out.
8. Divergence between volume and price is a precursor to a trend change
If the price rises but volume shrinks, reduce position; if the price falls but volume shrinks, enter after stabilization.
9. Only trade varieties with both the 5-day and 30-day lines trending upwards
Dual upward moving averages indicate a clear trend, reject counter-trend trading.
Discipline is the greatest leverage
These 9 iron rules have allowed me to go from repeated liquidations to achieving 8-figure profits in 5 years. The crypto market is not a casino, but a "battlefield for rule-followers" — the money that gamblers earn by luck will eventually be lost back through skill. Only by internalizing the rules into habits can one survive to the end.
