#Strategy加仓BTC From 10,000 to 5 million, these three trading rules are enough



Last year, a friend graduated from college and wanted to try the market, with only 10,000 yuan in hand. After three years of honing his skills, his account balance grew so much that he was confident even when he went home.

To be honest, making money isn't that mysterious—study the market, learn to read charts, and find your own trading rhythm. The core is actually these three rules.

**First Rule: Leverage is not wings, it's a knife**

I tried 20x leverage and made 500,000 profit in a single day. But on the "924" regulatory day, I almost wiped out my account in two hours. The lesson learned was profound—now the trading interface always locks at 3x, and no single coin position exceeds 5%. Not out of cowardice, but to give myself a chance to survive. If you die, you lose the qualification to turn things around.

**Second Rule: Mainstream coins are the stabilizer**

Once, I went all-in on a "hundredfold altcoin," investing 300,000 yuan, watching a floating profit of 1.8 million. Greed kept me from taking profits in time, and in the end, the project team ran away, and I lost everything. This pit taught me what "fundamentals" really mean. Now, 85% of my funds are firmly anchored in BTC and ETH, with only 15% used for speculation. Even in volatile markets, I can stand firm.

**Third Rule: Stop-loss is the lifeline**

In the past, I would add to my position when it dropped 15%, but I ended up losing half my house. Now, I set a hard stop-loss at 8% before entering each trade; once hit, I walk away immediately, without hesitation. A correction over 8% usually means I was wrong in my judgment. Admitting mistakes promptly keeps the principal alive for the next wave.

Market opportunities are actually abundant; what’s truly scarce is the principal that can survive until the opportunity arrives. A seven-figure account isn’t a badge of honor; frankly, it’s the compound interest from these three ironclad rules.

You’re not lacking market opportunities; you lack the courage to take that first step.

20x leverage is really intense, but it also really causes a lot of casualties. I know a guy who got wiped out.

the "survived 924" flex is doing a lot of work here, ngl. but arguably the incentive structures around leverage create non-trivial externalities that most retail don't price in... historical precedent suggests the 85/15 allocation thing tracks, though stakeholder alignment around what constitutes "shitcoin" remains contested.

There's nothing wrong with that; the core is that only by staying alive can you make money.

Damn, using 20x leverage to make 500,000 and almost wipe out again—this is the confession of a gambler. Leverage is truly a double-edged sword; one correction and it's gone. I will never touch it again.

Haha, thinking back to when I used 20x leverage and doubted my life, looking at these three points now, they are truly lessons learned through blood and tears.

Well said, it's all about staying alive; if the money's gone, everything else is pointless.
