#我的建议经验分享

This topic resonates with me. If there’s a “moment” that truly helped me understand the market, it was one morning after a liquidation—I was staring at the screen and suddenly realized: the market doesn’t care what you think; it only cares about what you do.

Regarding those three principles, my answers are:

1. The rule I will never break again: Always set a stop-loss
I used to think stop-losses were “cutting losses,” but I later understood that they are “buying insurance.” That liquidation order, if I had set a 5% stop-loss, the loss would have been no more than $500, but I thought “I can hold on and it will come back,” and in the end, I lost $20k. Now my principle is: before entering a trade, find the stop-loss level first; don’t open a position if you can’t set a stop-loss.

2. The most “heartbreaking” trade
Before the March 12 market crash last year, I heavily invested in a altcoin, with a cost basis of $0.8. It rose to $1.2, and I didn’t sell, thinking it could reach $2. The market then plummeted, and I took a $0.4 loss. A 60% loss, but I gained a realization: don’t fall in love with the market, don’t marry your position. Now I do short-term trading strictly according to plan, with take-profit and stop-loss in place, and I no longer “wait and see.”

3. Advice to myself on my first day in the industry

· Only use 10% of your capital for trading in the first six months; don’t add more even if you lose it all
· Learn to hold a flat position; 80% of the time, you should actually do nothing
· Don’t trust any KOL’s “wealth secrets,” learn to read the charts and track capital flow yourself
· Treat trading as a probability game; don’t aim to win every trade, aim to have more wins than losses when you profit

Trading is truly a form of cultivation—cultivating the ability to let go of attachments and follow discipline. I hope we all pay less tuition.
