#数字资产市场洞察 $GIGGLE At 2 a.m., my eyes were still fixed on that candlestick, my heart pounding rapidly, and I was about to fall apart.

I have also gone through this stage.

My account shrank from hundreds of thousands to just a few thousand dollars, and that feeling was like being torn apart repeatedly.

It was only later that I realized—what saved me wasn't some magical indicator, but a few bottom lines summarized from repeated face-slaps.

These rules completely changed my trading career.

**Rule 1: Resist the temptation to chase the rally; only trade within your confirmed zones**

Market opportunities are everywhere, but the money lost cannot be recovered. I eliminated the "fear of missing out" demon in my heart and forced myself to only enter trades at preset, most confident price zones, regardless of how fierce the rise is at other times.

Instead of blindly following the trend, it's better to patiently wait for your own opportunity.

**Rule 2: Only when you're alive can you make money**

Before placing an order, I first calculate not how much I can earn, but how much I could lose in the worst case.

Principal is like bullets—once used up, it's gone.

Controlling position size is key to surviving the next round of volatility and having chips for a reversal.

**Rule 3: Layer profits and exit gradually; never go all-in or hold on stubbornly**

When making profits, let the main position ride the trend, while the smaller positions take profits at key support levels.

This way, you can enjoy the gains and avoid losing everything during sudden adjustments.

**Rule 4: Do nothing without a signal**

Every trade needs clear trigger conditions.

Mood doesn't matter; whether the rules are met is what counts.

If there's no signal, decisively stay out.

With this simple yet strict trading framework, I gradually transformed from an emotional retail trader into a systematic, disciplined trader.

My earnings, which once fluctuated around a few dozen dollars, stabilized into four figures.

The biggest change is that I no longer follow the market and fear, but trade with a clear system.
