#谁将成为下一届美联储掌舵人? From 1,000U to 20 million U, the trading truths I’ve gained over 7 years
Having experienced a decade of ups and downs in the crypto market, I’ve seen too many dreams shattered. Liquidations, debts, broken capital chains—I’ve been through it all. The worst was losing 200,000 in principal within 24 hours, leaving only regret. But it was these failures that helped me find a way to survive.
From the despair of restarting with 1,000U to now managing a 20 million U scale, this journey has no shortcuts, only ironclad rules carved out with real money.
**9 Bottom Lines of Trading**
**1. Money management is the first lesson** When your capital is less than 10,000, don’t think about reaching the top in one step. Only chase high-efficiency market rhythms once at a time, avoid full positions and all-in bets. This isn’t conservatism; it’s the foundation of making money while staying alive.
**2. Take profits on good news and exit** If there’s no rally on major news day, exit immediately on the next day’s high open. Here’s a secret: good news often signals the night before a reversal.
**3. Watch the timing window** News cycles, holiday schedules—these are triggers for market moves. Perceive early, adjust your positions early, or even stay completely flat waiting for clear signals. Vagueness equals risk, and risk must be avoided.
**4. Enter with medium-term low allocation** For mainstream coins like $BTC and $ETH, use light positions for medium to long-term layouts. The market is like waves—you need to learn to drift rather than fight against it.
**5. Follow the rhythm for short-term trades** When the direction is clear, precisely go long or short, take profits when available. If the market is dull? Don’t force it—wait patiently. Greed is the cancer of short-term trading.
**6. Volatility follows its own rules** Slow declines correspond to slow rebounds; steep drops are inevitably followed by quick retracements. Understand this, and every buy or sell point becomes more confident.
**7. Stop-loss is your umbrella** If the direction is wrong, admit defeat immediately. If your point deviates from your plan, exit right away. Holding on is suicide; most losses come from those “I’ll wait a bit longer” decisions.
**8. 15-minute K-line is the key** For short-term swings, combining 15-minute cycles with the KDJ indicator can lock in highly accurate entry and exit points. This is a combination I’ve tested multiple times.
**9. Mindset outweighs technique** Skills can be learned, but mindset is cultivation. Don’t be swayed by panic or greed. Don’t chase highs or bottom-fish—these are things 99% of people can’t do.
**Conclusion**
The path in the crypto world is full of traps, but also full of opportunities. I’ve been through the darkest moments, so I understand what true risk management is. These 9 rules are not theories—they’re distilled from blood, tears, and profits. If you’re also looking for a way to turn things around, these are your map.

Honestly, I've fallen into too many traps when it comes to stop-loss. Holding onto positions is indeed slow suicide.

Stop-loss is really the first lesson; those who hold positions without proper risk management often end up with a bad outcome.

theoretically speaking, the recursive nature of position sizing here actually mirrors what vitalik discussed about state verification... but ngl the 15min KDJ thing feels like trying to solve the blockchain trilemma with a single indicator lol. the real interoperability vector is knowing when to just... not trade. that's the cross-rollup state verification nobody talks about

It all seems correct, but maintaining the right mindset is really tough.

lmao the 15min KDJ combo is mid... if you're actually serious about this, you'd be running MEV simulations across the timeline deltas instead. the basis points you're leaving on the table by not optimizing your exit calldata is insane ngl

Is it the same story again... Is it real?
Distilled from blood and tears? Dude, your story is quite something.
Profit-taking and exiting immediately—why do I always feel like this logic is reversed?
But I have to give you a thumbs up for stop-loss; at least you're more clear-headed than those who hold on to their positions.
