#大户持仓变化 is not a textbook, nor is it meant to be showy.



I'm not the type of trader who makes ten times the profit in a day, nor am I a lucky one riding the bullish wave.
In these 9 years, I've experienced margin calls, endured long bear markets, and watched people leave one after another.
My account has gone to zero, my mental defenses have collapsed, and I’ve covered losses with salary to replenish margins.

It was only later that I realized a truth:
Whether you can profit in the crypto world depends not on how smart you are, but on whether you can survive long enough.

These 15 principles are not taken from any book,
They are blood and tears lessons accumulated bit by bit through real money, margin calls, and sleepless nights.
Hopefully, they can help someone.

1. Capital is the lifeline; only by protecting your principal in a bear market can you bottom fish, losing your capital means losing your chance to turn things around.

2. Resisting greed is the winning rule; don’t chase highs or FOMO into top buying. Small stable profits are the most reliable way.

3. Focused betting but not all-in; after choosing a track, you can heavily invest, but always reserve some position for cycle changes.

4. Light positions are diligent, heavy positions are steady; don’t hard oppose the trend. Once heavily invested, a margin call or against the needle will lead nowhere.

5. Build slowly, profit quickly, cut losses harshly; only enter after confirming the candlestick pattern, never hold through stop-loss hits.

6. There’s a ceiling to making money, but no bottom line to losses; misuse leverage once and your account could be wiped out.

7. Stop-loss is life-saving; if it hits, sell immediately. Hesitating repeatedly means more losses.

8. Floating gains are not real assets; only withdrawals to your wallet count as real profit.

9. Extreme market conditions will always revert; stay calm during dumps, don’t panic. During surges, stay rational and don’t follow blindly.

10. Rest if there are no clear signals; missing a trade won’t lose money. Blindly opening trades is where real blood loss happens.

11. Grabbing opportunities is simple, waiting for opportunities is a skill; double-up trades are often “endured” opportunities.

12. Once goals are met, take profits; finish your daily target and close the app. Don’t greedily chase extra profits.

13. Stop-loss depends on discipline; profits depend on cycles. All opportunities are market gifts.

14. Wealth is held by the silent; sideways periods breed big moves. Frequent trading only results in missed chances.

15. When your mindset collapses, compare yourself to your trading plan; trading is fundamentally a discipline contest, not a test of calculation ability.

The theory is simple, but doing it well is difficult.

The winners in the crypto space are never the fastest, but those who can stay steady and are willing to cut losses.

Embed these in your mind, and you’ll avoid three years of wrong turns.
May you be reading this while taking profits, not while trying to solve your losses.

After reading these 15 points, I have only one feeling—it's easy to talk about, but hard to do, haha. I initially wanted to nod in agreement, but I realized I am that kind of person who "knows to cut losses, but still keeps trembling." The most heartbreaking is point 8. I really enjoy looking at floating profits and getting self-indulgent, but a single stop-loss wipeout took everything away. But on the other hand, this guy has nine years of experience and has survived through so much; just surviving already means he's won more than half the battle. I just want to know how he's staying steady now. Has he really restrained his greed? Or is it because he's out of money that he's automatically restrained?

Really, only after a liquidation do you understand the importance of stop-loss That was so poignant, I had to take a deep breath when I thought about relying on my salary to cover the margin Those who can't withstand a prolonged bear market are just handing over their positions to others Living long enough is the key, there are plenty of quick-freeze experts

Only after experiencing a margin call would I dare to say this, the reasoning is there. --- Everyone is right; it's just that most people can't accept it. --- Protecting the principal is really crucial; I only understood after greed caused a margin call. --- Item 7 hits the mark; every hesitation has been costly. --- The phrase "Live long enough" deserves a thumbs-up. --- Stop-loss is stop-life; that name is perfect. --- If the market is boring sideways, don't trade; that's the hardest to do. --- The floating profit line is real; if you can't mention it, it's all虚假. --- After 9 years, a younger person would have given up long ago, but I still have to persist. --- All 15 items are real money spent; unlike those paid courses.
