During the days when there were only 5000 USDT left in the #BTC资金流动性 account, I stared at the Candlestick Chart for more than ten hours every day. My diligence can be said to be insane, and the result? I was losing even faster.
What impressed me the most was that all four consecutive trades hit stop losses, and my mindset completely collapsed. In the last trade, I directly went all in on a skyrocketing cryptocurrency—the market mercilessly crashed down, and my account was penetrated.
At that moment, I understood that the market was not harvesting me at all; I was sending my money out with greed and impulse.
I stopped and pulled out all the trading records to analyze them one by one. The conclusion is quite profound: it's not that I can't understand the market trends, the problem lies in the complete lack of trading discipline.
From that day on, I made a decision: to completely quit "feel trading" and do only one thing - strictly follow the rules. Gradually, the account stabilized, and I began to have steady monthly profits. Today, I want to share some trading principles that I have summarized from hard lessons learned.
**My Trading Rules**
Don't rush when strong coins continue to fall. This is often an opportunity to get involved; once the trend reverses and is confirmed, you can consider entering a position.
After two consecutive days of rising, you must immediately reduce your position. Greed will make you give back all the profits you've made earlier; taking profits in a timely manner is the true way to profit.
For coins that surge dramatically, never chase them the next day. First, wait for a sufficient pullback and for support to form before considering entry. This can effectively avoid getting stuck by chasing high prices.
In a real bull market, do not chase high prices; only enter the market when a pullback is confirmed. This is the key to steadily increasing profits.
If the price remains stagnant for more than three days, wait another day to observe on the third day. If it still shows no movement, it's time to exit—stagnation usually signals a lack of strength ahead.
When losses can no longer be recovered through subsequent trades, it's important to decisively cut losses and admit mistakes. Cutting losses early can help you preserve ammunition to tackle the next round of opportunities.
The combination of trading volume and price is crucial. A surge in volume at a low level is a signal to build a position, while a surge in volume at a high level but stagnant prices is a red flag to retreat.
Only trade those assets that are in an uptrend, and treat other fluctuations as noise. The trend is the market's way of speaking.
**How to Survive with a Small Account**
When funds are low, methods, mindset, and execution are all essential.
The reason I have come this far is that I do not engage in ambiguous market conditions, do not bet on short-term emotional directions, and do not go against the market. Trading, in simple terms, is a contest of discipline and patience; those who can adhere to the rules will be the ones who ultimately succeed.

It's another story of chasing the price with a Full Position and getting smashed, but this guy didn't give up. Instead, he figured out a strategy, which is indeed impressive. Discipline can really save lives.
