In the digital asset market, those who survive through ups and downs understand one principle: preserving capital is the first line of defense in investing. Without capital, how can you turn the tide?



Many people overcomplicate earning money. In reality, as long as you avoid greed and adopt a stable, small-profit strategy, making money becomes quite simple. The key is not to diversify too much in your selections, never go all-in at once, and follow the market trend. If you stick to these three points, your overall direction will not go wrong.

Risk control is the guarantee of survival. Do not over-leverage, do not hold onto losing positions, and avoid frequent trading—these are the iron rules. Buying can be slow, but selling must be decisive, especially when it comes to stop-losses, which must be executed resolutely. Procrastination only worsens the wounds. The moment you hit the stop-loss line, exit unconditionally because stop-loss is always correct.

There is a harsh truth: money can’t be earned endlessly, but it can be lost all at once. Is short-term stability better or long-term stability? Neither compares to securing profits. The eternal law of the market is that extremes will reverse. If there’s no trend, don’t force trades; missing opportunities is normal. As long as you capture part of them, that’s enough.

Waiting for trading opportunities is always worth a hundred times more than actively seeking them. Set a daily profit target, and stop trading immediately once it’s reached—limited energy means no need to be greedy. Remember, stop-loss is your own risk defense line; profits are the reward the market gives you. Money is earned by sitting still, not by frequent trading and fussing.

The most painful truth at the end: mindset often crumbles in the face of desire. The only way is to strictly follow your trading strategy and achieve unity of knowledge and action. These 15 rules may seem simple, but very few can truly follow them.

That's true, but how many people can really stick to stop-loss? Most people only remember to do so after losing so much they start doubting their life.

You're right, but how many can really do it? I'm that kind of fool who understands the principles every day but goes all-in as soon as I get in the car.

That's true, but my account name is a bloody lesson. It took two liquidations to understand these principles.

It's really true, the hardest moment is when you stop loss. Watching the money flow out just can't be done.
