#数字资产市场动态 Three Unbeatable Rules for Crypto Trading Learned Over Three Years



Starting with 20,000 yuan and now making a living through trading, my biggest takeaway isn't how much I've earned, but that I’ve made it this far.

In the first year, I was greedy, all in my head, and as a result, my account shrank by half. It wasn't until the second year that I learned to cut losses, gradually pulling my money back like picking up scraps. By the third year, I found my rhythm, and these few rules allowed me to live well without risking my life, just steady trading.

These seven rules are built from blood and tears—

**Always divide your capital into five parts.** Don’t bet everything at once; split it into five portions, and only use one for trial and error each time. Set a 10% stop-loss. Even if you lose five times in a row, you only lose that one portion, and it won’t hurt your core funds. When a trade reaches 10% profit, withdraw your principal immediately; the remaining profit is pure gain.

**Follow the trend, don’t fight it.** Ride the upward waves to earn steadily, and buy low during dips? That’s not grabbing bargains; it’s setting a trap for yourself. Pullbacks are the right entry points. I learned this from three margin call accounts.

**Don’t look at coins that are skyrocketing.** Coins that multiply five times in three or five days are traps, not opportunities. Retail traders are usually the last to buy, and a slip of the hand turns them into harvestable chives.

**Less indicators, more clarity.** I used to rely on a bunch of chaotic indicators, which made it hard to see the market clearly. Now I only use three: MACD for trend direction, RSI for overbought/oversold signals, and VPVR for support and resistance. Simple but effective.

**Cut losses when losing, add positions when profitable.** Replenishing during a dip is like digging a deeper hole; only add when the market is rising. If wrong, cut quickly—don’t wait to break even, or you’ll only sink deeper.

**Volume and price never lie.** A sudden surge in volume after a low-volume period signals the market is about to take off. If high volume can’t push the price higher? The main players are shifting hands—run quickly. If you don’t understand candlesticks, watch the volume; charts made from money can’t deceive.

**Three review questions are enough.** Every day after market close, write down: Why was this trade right? Why was that one wrong? How to improve next time? Stick to this for a month, and you’ll recover most of the tuition you paid in the process.

Asset allocation, market analysis, rhythm control—these details I can elaborate on. If you're interested, see if you can find a method that suits your own path.

The lessons learned from three liquidation accounts, you really have to spend money to learn.

hypothesis: the five-partition capital architecture here mirrors the byzantine fault tolerance model—essentially creating redundancy layers where no single position can collapse the entire system. fascinating how decades of distributed systems theory converge with humble stop-loss mechanics.

Only after three liquidations do I understand. That was a really harsh statement. This is the first time I've read such a clear-headed trading manual.

Really, the first point hit me. If I had heard this three years ago, I wouldn't have been liquidated three times already.
