Don't expect high IQ to be favored in the crypto world. Those who truly survive long-term use the simplest methods.
Want to hear what veteran players have to say? Their secret is one word—longevity. Don't rush, gamble, or show off. Looks naive, but it's actually the smartest way to live. Today, I share 10 life-saving trading rules, specifically to cure the three major ailments: chasing rallies, getting overly excited, and liquidation.
**1. Watch the market sentiment after 9 consecutive days of decline** Mainstream coins falling 8 to 9 days from high levels usually indicate panic selling has bottomed out. Don't rush to buy the dip at this point; first, assess how much selling pressure there is. Don't be that brother blindly taking the hit.
**2. Reduce positions after a surge of over 2 days** After a coin's price surges for two days, the probability of a correction is much higher than further rise. A sharp increase is actually a risk warning. Whether you heed it is up to you.
**3. Intraday highs occur before excitement peaks** The best selling points often appear before the entire community goes crazy. When everyone is shouting "buy in," and you want to exit? It's too late.
**4. Switch assets after sideways trading for over 6 days** Sideways movement for 3 days is normal testing. But if it drags on for 6 days with no movement, it indicates that funds have lost patience. Don't stubbornly hold on; switching to a better opportunity is more comfortable.
**5. Volume increases at high levels but price doesn't rise—just leave** If volume expands but price doesn't go up, it's a sign of chip turnover. Your advantage has disappeared. The smartest choice now is to exit decisively.
**6. No more than 30% on the first position** Use 30% of your capital for the initial trade to test whether your judgment is correct. If right, add more; if wrong, exit with minimal loss. In short, position size can determine life or death.
**7. The less comfortable, the safer** When the price starts rising, emotions are still cold, and opinions vary widely. This position may seem uncomfortable, but it's actually much safer than chasing highs.
**8. When everyone is making money, risk is highest** When the community is full of screenshots of profits and discussions of patterns, there's no need to look at K-line charts. Lower your positions first.
**9. Stop after 3 consecutive wins** Getting a few wins and then getting cocky leads to reckless operations, which is the most expensive way to lose in crypto. The best state is often the easiest to fall.
**10. Never touch these three types of coins** First, coins sustained solely by hype and signals. Second, coins that surge within 24 hours and flood the charts. Third, coins you can't explain why to buy after asking around. These luck-based opportunities will eventually wipe you out.
**Conclusion** The strength of crypto experts isn't in earning the fastest, but in avoiding big mistakes for a long time. Follow these 10 rules well, and you'll survive longer and earn steadily. The market fluctuates daily; the key is to protect your principal and stay true to your original intention. In the next cycle, you'll still be able to stand firm.

That's really impressive; I need to get a tattoo of the rule to stop after making 3 trades. Every time I make a profit, I want to trade again, but it always ends up worse than before.

According to the database, the average execution cycle of these 10 rules has been delayed to the nth trading day, and it is recommended to be included in the Guinness World Records.

Really, just after making 3 trades you should stop—this is my blood and tears lesson. Greed directly brought me back to square one.
---
High volume at a high level but no increase? I watched those chips change hands and then stubbornly hold until liquidation...
---
You're right. When everyone is showing off their gains, I had already reduced my positions. This market trend is indeed dangerous.
---
Uncomfortable positions are actually safer? That's an interesting argument. Next time, let's see if I can catch the right move.
---
Staying in a sideways market for 6 days without changing? That's how I slowly exhausted myself on one coin haha.
---
The sixth point out of 10 hits the hardest—initial positions always at 30%. How many people can actually do that?
---
Reducing positions after a 2-day surge? Sometimes I get caught off guard before I even react, the rhythm is just unmanageable.
---
That last sentence is a bit off. Earning steadily is indeed more important than earning quickly, but execution is really hell.
---
Never touch coins that rely on calls. I've already stepped on that landmine. Now I just pass on those kinds of coins.
---
Watching the market fall for 9 days to gauge sentiment... The key is mindset. Seeing the charts makes me want to go all-in, I just can't control it.

You're right, I was just too greedy before. I went all-in during a sudden surge and am still paying off the debt now.

That's reasonable; living a long life is indeed more reliable than getting rich quickly.
