Eight years have passed, and a "foolproof method" that many have mocked has brought me to where I am today.
Starting with a capital of 20,000 yuan, I watched the market over a bowl of plain porridge. Everyone said this set of rules was too rigid—but it was this rigidity that kept me alive and allowed me to save enough to relax at any time. No insider information, no reliance on luck—just these core trading principles:
**1. Survive first, then make money** Funds must be divided into several parts, investing only a portion each time. Limit each loss to within 2% of total capital—so even five consecutive losses won't break the account. As long as you catch a real trend, it can cover all the trial-and-error costs. Surviving is the prerequisite for compound interest.
**2. Only ride the most profitable trend** Don't try to guess the bottom during a decline, and don't rush to sell during an uptrend. Give yourself enough patience, wait for the trend to clarify itself before acting. Only trade the most certain segment of the trend. Fighting the market? You won't make money.
**3. Stay away from all "explosive gains"** The more outrageous the short-term rise, the more you should resist the urge to look. Not catching the final surge actually means you’ve won against 90% of the market.
**4. One indicator is better than ten** I’ve studied MACD deeply: pay close attention when a golden cross appears below the zero line, and be alert when a death cross occurs above the zero line. Only add positions when profitable; never add during a loss.
**5. Volume never lies** Prices can be manipulated, but volume reflects real money flowing in and out. A sudden surge in volume after sideways movement at a low point? That’s often the starting gun for a real trend.
**6. Spend ten minutes reviewing each day** After each trade, ask yourself three questions: Why did I enter? Was my judgment correct? Where did I go wrong? Review the weekly chart on weekends; the overall pattern can change completely.
This method isn’t magical at all, but the most ironic phenomenon in the crypto world is: those who truly make money are often those who can faithfully follow simple rules. The market rewards discipline, not intelligence.
If you’re still lost in confusion, perhaps what’s missing isn’t the code to find the next hundredfold coin, but the establishment of this most basic, resilient trading system. Using the simplest methods to walk the furthest—this is my entire answer after eight years.

nah this is literally just cope with extra steps... "discipline" is just what people call it when they missed the 100x and need a thesis to feel better 💀

That's right, but too many people just won't listen... they only realize how important it is after losing so much they start doubting life.

Basically, living is more important than making money, and I deeply understand this... Starting with twenty thousand and drinking plain porridge was indeed tough, but it was this hardship that allowed me to survive until now.

Well said, discipline really is money, many people don't believe it.
