I'm the kind of tough person who has smoked on rooftops and used screenshots of liquidation as profile pictures. In 2016, on the rooftop of Lhasa Youth Hostel, the wind could blow away cigarette ash but not that phrase "This person is done for." But later I understood a principle — rules outlast luck. Today, I want to share the core logic I've realized over the years, how much you can understand depends entirely on your own fate.



**A drop in price doesn't mean a collapse in value**
Strong coins falling for 9 days in a row usually cause retail investors to panic and sell. But at this point, you need to understand one thing: panic selling is often just the main players shaking out weak hands. Don't follow the herd; instead, carefully select like shopping at a market. The key is to look at whether the project's fundamentals are solid, not to be scared by short-term fluctuations.

**Two consecutive bullish candles mean you should reduce your position**
No matter how bullish a coin is, after two days of continuous rise, I will definitely sell 30%. This isn't cowardice but a fight against greed in human nature. The biggest fear in the crypto world is "making a profit and then quickly locking in losses," so take some profits off the table. With the remaining position, your mindset can stay calm and continue to eat meat.

**Signals behind a 7% single-day surge**
A large bullish candle rising over 7%? It indicates that the main funds are starting to move. Historical data shows that such a breakout has over a 90% chance of continuing to rise inertia. But at this point, you shouldn't chase the rally; instead, tighten your take-profit and stop-loss buttons, let the trend run, and don't rush to buy in.

**The dual nature of pullbacks**
In a true bull market, pullbacks are opportunities to buy; but if it's a rebound within a high-level oscillation, it's likely a trap to lure more buyers. The simple way to tell the difference is to see if it breaks through a key support level. Don't jump in at every pullback; look at the bigger picture.

Over the years, from losses to small profits and then to stable gains, it's all about this "living is winning" trading philosophy. The market is always there; there's no need to rush.

That rooftop part was really intense, but I think the core message is actually "rules outlast luck." However, reducing positions after just two bullish candles sounds a bit too conservative, doesn't it? Tight stop-loss and take-profit levels are correct, but they can also lead to being shaken out.

The ash from the rooftop has fallen, but greed can never be wiped out, it's heartbreaking. My buddy said to reduce positions after two bullish candles, which is a true sign of being truly awake, much clearer than those dreaming of overnight riches. As for shakeouts, retail investors who can't see through them are just leeks; don't blame the market for being ruthless. A 7% big bullish candle is indeed tempting, but very few can resist chasing the rally... Is a pullback an opportunity or a trap? It depends on how deep your understanding of support levels is. Most people get caught here.

The story of smoking on the rooftop has worn my ears out, but that line "Rules last longer than luck" really hit me. Well said. --- Is that all? Red candles reduce the position by 30%. It sounds easy, but when the coins in hand hit the daily limit up, who can be ruthless enough to sell... --- I agree not to chase after a 7% big green candle, but where does the 90% continued surge data come from? Can you share it, or is it just based on intuition again? --- The trap of pullback inducement is too real. During high-level oscillations, I don't know how many times I've been caught. Just looking at support levels, it's hard to tell when the true bottom is. --- As long as you're alive, you've won haha. This phrase is much more reliable than those moon strategies. --- The worst part about cutting losses and running is not losing money, but watching others make money while you can't keep up.

I agree with the move to sell 30%, but it's just too easy to get soft, brother. Clearly, it's doing well, yet you still have to cut it by a portion.

The scene of smoking on the rooftop is so realistic, but honestly, just reducing positions after two bullish candles? I think that's a bit rigid; it depends on whether it's a false breakout. The phrase "As long as you're alive, you've won" is brilliant, much more reliable than those influencers claiming to double their positions in a week.

The part about smoking on the rooftop was really awesome, but I actually believe in the logic my brother is now talking about. Cutting positions after two bullish candles is indeed a ruthless move, most people can't do it.
