I have never started by teaching technical analysis, but rather by explaining the rules. This is my first lesson in guiding others.



Everyone who follows me will hear the same three disciplines: First, never risk more than 5% of your account on any position; second, set your stop-loss before placing the order; third, take out your principal as soon as you gain 30%. Simple, right? But not many people stick to it.

Last month, a new follower secretly went all-in on a small altcoin. It initially surged quite aggressively, and he didn’t move; then it fell, and he still didn’t move, holding on tightly. When he came to me, his account was already half-dead.

I didn’t give him any new tricks, just asked, "Are you not following any of our rules at all?" He didn’t answer.

Interestingly, he later used the remaining small amount of money strictly according to the rules, and in three weeks, he gradually recovered most of his losses.

I never claim to be able to predict every trade correctly. Whether it’s Bitcoin or digital assets, no one can fully understand the market. But I can guarantee one thing—if you follow the rules properly, you won’t die. The longer you stay in this market, the more you can earn; a single fatal mistake can completely kick you out. Staying alive is the foundation of making money.

That's right, rules are a lifeline. I managed to save enough for my three kids' formula this way. Don't be fooled by how simple it seems; out of ten people who try to follow them, only about one can actually do it. I've seen many guys go all in and fail; every time, they think they're a genius.

Honestly, I've memorized these three lines long ago, but every time I see someone going all in, I still want to slap them.

Damn, it's that all-in guy again. Serves him right. The rules are right here, but he refuses to listen, and only when he hits a wall himself will he learn.

Rules sound simple, but the number of people who can truly stick to them is frighteningly few...

That's right, rules are the moat, all in is suicide. Following the rules and earning 30% is way better than going all-in and losing 80%. Discipline is easy to understand but hard to practice. 5% position size sounds conservative, but those who survive play like this. I've realized the importance of stop-loss; now I preset it every time, and if it doesn't work, I run. Withdrawing principal is a brilliant move; the psychological pressure instantly halves. It's normal to find the market unpredictable; the key is not to get overconfident. That guy going all-in on small-cap coins is really reckless; greed kills. Holding on stubbornly really costs the most money; admitting defeat in time is the mark of a pro. Executing rules properly can keep the account alive for a long time. One fatal mistake can end everything; that hits home. Making money isn't a speed race, it's a survival race. Strictly following the rules can really turn things around; this guy has finally woken up.

That's so true, only by staying alive can you continue to harvest the wool.
