When I first entered the crypto world, I always fantasized about "going all in to get rich," but my principal was halved; later, I refined my trading habits step by step according to 24 iron rules, which instead stabilized my rhythm. These seemingly simple rules are actually the survival wisdom that countless people have earned through losses.

The core is three points: control risk, catch trends, and maintain discipline.

"Divide the principal into 10 parts, with no single trade exceeding 1 part" and "diversify large funds into 2-3 coins, focus small funds on 1 coin" are essentially avoiding all-in bets. I once put 80% of my position on obscure altcoins, and the project team ran away, resulting in total loss; now I only select actively traded mainstream coins (such as BTC and ETH), and each trade does not exceed 10% of total funds, so even if I incur losses, it won't hurt my vitality.

"Always set a stop-loss when opening a position, and move the stop-loss after making 3 points" is a life-saving charm. I used to think, "Just wait a bit longer and I can break even," but the losses rolled from 5% to 30%; now I always set a 3%-5% stop-loss when opening a position, and if profits exceed 3%, I move the stop-loss line up to protect profits. Last year, when ETH corrected from 3000 USD, my stop-loss order was automatically triggered at 2950, resulting in a loss of only 200 USDT, while peers who didn't set stop-loss lost 40%.

"Go with the trend, don't buy if you can't see the trend clearly" and "only trade at key points" are the core of making money. I no longer blindly chase rising and falling prices; instead, I wait for the candlestick to show a clear trend (for example, breaking through resistance with volume) or reach support/resistance levels before taking action. Last October, when BTC was hovering around 60,000 USD, I didn't rush to enter the market until it broke through the 62,000 USD resistance and MACD showed a golden cross, then I entered with a light position during the retracement, ultimately benefiting from the rise to 68,000 USD.

"Realize profits after earning, don't take risks for small gains" and "don't expand after consecutive wins" are key to long-term survival. I regularly transfer 30% of my profits to my bank account every week to avoid "account balance illusion"; during consecutive profits, I also remind myself: each trade is a new beginning, and I won't increase my position due to emotions.

Trading is not gambling, but a game with oneself. These 24 iron rules are like 24 anchors, helping me avoid emotional traps. I still set stop-losses, but know that it is a planned cost; I still wait, but understand that "slow is fast." There will always be opportunities in the crypto world, as long as you survive first—and these rules are the confidence to survive.

I used to stumble in the dark alone; now I have the light in my hands, and the light is always on. Will you follow? @币来财888
