#Strategy加仓BTC Trading insights after ten years: from a novice losing money to consistent profits, just remember these 6 words—steady, long-term!



Why do others always lose money in trading? Because their mindset isn’t right. Since I started at 25, my capital has grown year after year like a snowball rolling downhill, but I don’t have any extraordinary skills; I just master risk management perfectly.

Let me share my "Ironclad Trading Rules":

**First is the strict position sizing rule—no negotiations on stop-loss.** Each time I open a position, I only risk a small portion of my total funds, and I set the stop-loss level before entering the trade. I know the maximum loss I can take on a single mistake, and I keep that number in my mind. As long as I don’t get "秒杀" (instantly wiped out), there will be more opportunities to turn things around, just like endless chives—there’s always a chance to bounce back.

**Second, follow the trend, and get out if the trend reverses.** Rebounds during a downtrend or pullbacks during an uptrend are the high-value points. If you go against the market and fight it, that’s pure self-torture—why bother?

**Next, beware of coins that spike wildly in the short term.** Seeing a limit-up is scary, but the underlying risk is huge—more than you can imagine. That’s not trading, that’s gambling. Stay away.

**Many people misuse indicators.** MACD, volume, these tools are not for predicting the trend like some magic spell; they’re for secondary confirmation—whether the trend is truly established. When volume expands, it often reveals more truth than price increases alone.

**The most important thing in trading is the direction.** Only operate on assets that are in an upward channel. Whether short-term or medium-to-long-term, getting the direction right is key to "lying down and winning." No matter how strong your technical skills are, if the direction is wrong, everything is useless.

**Finally, don’t forget to review your trades.** Summarize weekly, analyze which strategies need adjustment. Market rules are changing, and our thinking must evolve too. Otherwise, we’ll only be eliminated by the market.

Ultimately, trading isn’t about who trades the most actively, but who controls risk with discipline and executes well. Make fewer mistakes and stay steady, and money will flow to you like a tide. That’s the whole secret of how I’ve made it this far.

A decade of experience condensed into these 6 words, quite straightforward... but I still think most people simply can't follow through. Mindset is easy to talk about but deadly to implement.

That's right, but most people simply can't do it. Risk management sounds easy to write, but how many can actually grit their teeth and cut losses time and time again? I've seen too many people whose accounts drop 30% and still refuse to follow the rules.

It sounds good, but how many people can actually do it? I do believe in risk control, but most people still die from greed. Even if stop-loss is set, they are reluctant to press it.

Exactly right, but most people can't do it. The mental hurdle has trapped a lot of people.

actually, the whole "risk management is everything" angle—technically speaking, most traders just ignore position sizing until they get liquidated. interesting edge case tho: if your stop loss is theoretically perfect but execution is questionable on volatile assets, you're still vulnerable. ngl, the market doesn't care about your iron rules.
