I only have the last few digits of my phone number left in my account, I totally understand how that feels.


Before the New Year, a brother of mine who had been with me for three years came to me with his last 2800U. On the other end of the screen, his hands were trembling as he typed. I didn’t draw any K-line charts for him, nor did I talk about any fancy trading strategies; I just broke down three rules I’ve summarized through blood and sweat.
A month and a half later, yesterday he showed me his account—68,000. He didn’t thank me, but I know he’s thankful for finally being able to control his own hands.
I’ll share these three “against human nature” insights with you as well.
First, don’t go all-in and act like a hero all the time.
Beginners love to fantasize about a big turnaround, but experienced traders know that survival is the key to making profits. Before the trend is clear, small positions are for exploring. When the direction really emerges, then add steadily. Many people lose money not because they lack skill, but because they’re too impatient—going all in without seeing any signals, that’s not investing, that’s digging your own grave.
Second, don’t add to losing trades. Only profitable trades are worth increasing your position.
This goes against human nature, right? Everyone thinks that when prices drop, adding to the position lowers the average cost and helps them break even faster. But have you thought about why it’s dropping? Maybe the trend has already changed. Doubling down on a losing position is like trying to pour water into a leaky bucket. Your profitable trades should be running and generating profits for you. The principal is for defending your territory, not for filling a bottomless pit.
Third, follow the trend, don’t go against the market.
When the market moves east, don’t insist on going west. This isn’t about being a flip-flopper; it’s about respecting facts. Many people curse the market’s volatility every day, but it’s not the market that’s crazy—it’s that stubborn part of your mind that refuses to accept reality. Going with the flow saves effort and can take you further; fighting against the current only exhausts you and gets you nowhere.
He managed to climb out because, ultimately, it all comes down to two words: discipline.
When others are rushing in with red eyes, he’s patient and “waits.” Before the opportunity arrives, he “waits.” Trading crypto, in the end, is a test of your mental strength. While others are led by fear and greed, your rules are your strongest moat.
There are always opportunities in the market, but if your capital is gone, then you really have nothing left. Especially now, during these volatile pullbacks, you need to stay tight and alert.
I’m Lao K, a veteran in this circle.
No fluff, just real gains. Some fellow traders and I occasionally exchange ideas, seek warmth in the group. If you also feel like you’re always fighting alone in the market, struggling without reward, and want to find some grounded people who understand the market and discuss logic, maybe we can chat.
Remember, as long as the green mountains remain, there’s no need to worry about firewood.
