#MSCI未来或纳入数字资产财库企业 Over ten years of trading, I’ve realized a simple truth: getting rich quickly has no secret; stability is the real key.
Many people enter the market with shining eyes, as if the next hundredfold coin is right in front of them. But what happens? A wave of pullback and they get chopped up, their funds evaporate. The reason I can turn my principal into a snowball isn’t due to some advanced skills or market prediction abilities, but rather a nearly rigid set of trading discipline.
The most important rule: lock in your position size. Only use a small portion of your total funds for each trade, set your stop-loss levels in advance, and ensure that any single loss is always within your manageable range. As long as your account isn’t wiped out by one mistake, opportunities will keep coming—like endless chives waiting to be harvested again and again.
The second rule is about trend. Downward rebounds and upward corrections are the golden points for low-risk entries. But if you have to go against the market trend, you’re just inviting trouble. Going head-to-head with the overall trend? 99% of retail traders lose money doing that.
When you see a coin surging wildly in the short term and the community is buzzing, stay calm. These sudden surges may look tempting, but they’re essentially gambling—high risk to the extreme. The difference between trading and gambling is right here.
Many people overhype indicators. MACD, volume, these aren’t meant to predict the future; they’re meant to confirm whether a trend is truly established. Changes in volume often tell you more than price does—this is especially important.
With the right direction, technical analysis makes sense. My principle is simple: only trade assets that are in an upward channel. Whether it’s short-term or mid-to-long-term, as long as the channel holds, there’s reason to hold. Conversely, even the best technical analysis is useless if the direction is wrong.
The last rule, which is often overlooked, is to review your trades weekly. The market is evolving, and your strategy must adapt accordingly. Not evolving means being eliminated—this is especially obvious in the crypto market.
At the end of the day, investing isn’t about trading frequency; it’s about risk control and execution. Minimize mistakes, stay steady, and your funds will keep growing like a tide. It’s nothing mysterious—just discipline.

That's right, the word "discipline" is just too difficult.
---
Ten years of experience as an old trader advises you not to chase the rally; whether you listen or not is up to fate.
---
I am most lazy when it comes to reviewing, and I regret it every time.
---
Small positions with strict stop-losses have really saved me several times.
---
Watching the coins skyrocket without taking action, now I realize that's true profit.
---
If the direction is wrong, everything else is pointless. That hits hard.
---
Most people either lack technical skills or have a collapsed mentality.
---
Hold on until the channel breaks; simple and straightforward is the most effective.
---
I wonder why I didn't think of MSCI including digital assets back then.
---
Risk control is indeed the core; I paid quite a few school fees in the past few years.
---
Volume is more trustworthy than price; I feel this deeply.

It's quite heartbreaking. I've really seen too many people who dream of getting rich overnight and then liquidate everything in three months.
As for position management, it's simple to say but many people just can't do it.

You're absolutely right. Strictly enforcing stop-loss is enough to wipe out 90% of retail investors.
After more than ten years, still alive, discipline is indeed the last line of defense.
The moment of explosive growth is the easiest time to get carried away; at this point, it's better to stay silent.
Reviewing and analyzing might sound simple, but few people actually stick to it.
Having the right direction makes everything easier; if the direction is wrong, no amount of indicators will help.
When the community is boiling over, it's often the most dangerous signal.
Volume doesn't lie, I have deep personal experience with this.
Instead of predicting the future, it's better to confirm the trend—these are two different things.

You are absolutely right; discipline is truly more valuable than anything else.
This is exactly what I've been trying to say: setting a hard stop-loss can save many people.
Putting aside MSCI's inclusion of digital assets for now, it's still essential to master the fundamentals.
Trading volume can lie more than price; I completely agree with this point.
